JoomlaJunkie - Joomla Template Provider Bringing color to the Joomla community

Hello!

First let me say that I downloaded the iLuv template several months ago and well ... LUV it! My site is almost ready to open officially, and I'm having just a couple of minor issues with the animated login module at the top of the site.

1. Is there any way to change it from "Client login" to "Member login"? (Since this is a Club, it would make a lot more sense.)

2. When someone clicks on the Login button, the Username & Password boxes pop up. The Username one displays "username" in the box, but that actually has confused a few testers. They mistook that for a label, then typed their username in what's supposed to be the password box (expecting it to go on to another popup box that says password, I guess). Is there any way to insert the word "Password" in the password box to make it more clear what those two black-on-black boxes are for? (Can't oversimply things too much for casual users, I've learned.)

Think that's it for now. I do still have some other head-scratching questions, but they're more strictly Joomla-related.

Now here's my Web site: http://www.imageatworkclub.com

Thanks for the help!

Hello MarlysKA

Let's see if I can help you out.

Question 1
Client login to Member login.
Open up your mod_iluvlogin.php file.
Around line 98 you will see

Code:

<div class="member_switch">Client Login</div>

change Client Login to whatever you wish. Question 2 User/Pass boxes. This one is a bit trickier. In the same file a few lines down, around 106 you will find:

Code:

<div class="iluvlogin_pass"> <label for="mod_login_password"><?php echo _PASSWORD; ?></label> <input type="password" id="mod_login_password" name="passwd" class="inputbox" size="10" alt="password" /> </div>

If you add value="username" the box will be filled. <div class="iluvlogin_pass"> <label for="mod_login_password"><?php echo _PASSWORD; ?></label> <input type="password" id="mod_login_password" name="passwd" value="username"class="inputbox" size="10" alt="password" /> </div> Since that field is coded to be hidden, (i.e. when a user types their password it comes up dots instead of the actual password) it will just show the word password but in dots. This at least looks more like the typical login fields encountered at most sites. I hope that help.

Awesome, Matt -- that fixed it! It was a really simple tweak, but I never would have found the right part of the code without your help. Just wish all my Joomla questions were so easily solved ...

Thanks,
Marlys

No problem. Happy I could help.
