Hi All,
I'm brand new to the CMS and am testing functionality and starting some development with it. So far it seems great. One question though. I want to have a site wide login form at the top right corner of my site. This would turn to "logout" when the user has logged in. What is the best way to accomplish this?
thanks
Use the variable $LoginForm in your template.
This will redirect users to the admin area.
If you need to customize the form further beyond CSS, there is a login form widget which just has the html code that is outputted from $LoginForm (or you could copy it yourself from the output). You can customize that and change the hidden form variable which redirects to the admin page. Can be anything you want.
