Dedicated login page for VB5

[PiotrGT1]

Is there a mod or a way I can have a special login page? PHPBB has something like this: https://www.phpbb.com/community/ucp....2dc79ba1b6939d
It would be handly as many users cannot see the top right login drop down link and a menu tab plus a dedicated login page would help.

No there is no dedicated login page, nor has there been one in any version, it is something that would require custom coding.

A such code will server many webmasters well.
Can somene please come up with a simple script? or someone add this feature to the next vb5 update?

[ozzy47]

That would probably be something you would need to pay someone to do. You can put in a request at vB.org in the Requests for Paid Services forum.

Due to the ability to have SSL logins, the login form is actually a separate page loaded within an iframe. So you could load it in an iframe on a custom Site Builder page as well.

yourdomain.com/forumpath/auth/login

Use https if you have set up to use SSL for logins.

You can vote for this JIRA here as well: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-13323

I would like to vote for this feature but Im unable to access this page - get an error:
It seems that you have tried to perform an operation which you are not permitted to perform.
If you think this message is wrong, please consult your administrators about getting the necessary permissions.

Just curious, instead of a drop down is there a menu block/module that will have the user/password blocks included?
I know its a bit old fashioned but users people like this... the top login/register link is not very easy to locate at first glance and discourages less patient guest users from registering.

Sorry. It is marked private. One of the managers must have thought it was a security issue.

The inline frame can be made visible via CSS. Add

#main-navbar .username-container > ul{
    display:block;
}

into css_additional.css. That will make it visible, and from there you can manipulate it's location on the page. If you don't know how to write CSS code, you can put in a request on vbulletin.org in the paid or unpaid section and see what pops.

That code just makes the iFrame visible.

You should just be able to use the login like at https://forums.hosting/auth/login-form by grabbing the code from that and create a module for it to display the login box somewhere on the site. I think the Login link in the top Navigation bar does the job though.
