Title: How can I make a seperate login page?
Post by: tapaparis on January 16, 2007, 10:29:57: I am a new user of elxis and I would like to ask how I can make a new seperate login page.

I don't want the Login Form to appear on the home page.

I want to create a stand alone page accessible only by writing its url (i.e. www.myelxisite.gr/logpage.htm) and log in from there.

Is there a way?

Thank you very much in advance,

Paris

Take the html output of the Elxis login form and paste it in an html (/php, asp or any other extension) file. Place this file in any directory of your site. The only important thing is that the action of your form should point to Elxis's index.php file.

Post by: datahell on February 27, 2007, 23:51:01: Any html form starts with this line:

Code: (html) [Select]
<form name="mplampla" method="POST" action="xxxxxxxx">
The only thing you have to do is to add the right action url in your form. This url can be absolute or relative.

Examples for action:
http://www.mysite.com/index.php
index.php
../index.php
elxis/index.php

Post by: datahell on February 28, 2007, 20:42:17: Right click on any Elxis site displaying a login form. Search in code and find the login form. Copy this html and paste it to any php/html/aspl/jsp etc file you wish. Modify the form action to link to Elxis index.php page and the other parameters where needed. You are ready. See the screenshot bellow as an example.
