Hello

It may be worth considering a login module extension. There is a number of options available which will offer you a more compact version of the login module...

thanks, i tryed that and it somehow it worked i think. but thats not how i wanted it. it doesnt shows that you are online after you are logged in.
I got to look for something else. Can i somehow put it over the header backround images? in the right upper corner?

If not i ll probably just put it in the sidecontrol.

Can you tell me how i center the side control? i tryed it withe the css. comand you gave me for the hornav (just put in sidecontrol instead, but it didn t word.

thanks for your help.

Hi Deikvan

Admittedly the area you have available would be to small to accommodate a login form. To create a login button similar to that of our 'Caitlin' template following the following steps..

1. Create a new menu called 'Login Menu'.
2. Within this menu create a menu item linking to your login (Menu Item Type -> Users -> Login Form)/
3. Create a menu module for this menu item in the header-2 module position (Styling can bu supplied if needed).

I just looked around in the forum an found some intresting blogs.

(if i could implement it like this, ist would be great, but it doesn t seem to work on the Caitlin template)

A login like in the demo http://www.joomla51.com/demo/0133/ would be ok for me too but if i put it in header 1, the hornav gets way to big.

thanks

Good morning,
i still want to place the login in the hornav. I just tested around because you where not online anymore.

I put it back and leave it there now.

thanks for your help.

Deikvan

Thank you however it appears you have decided to place your login module in the sidecol-b module position instead. Is this correct?

Ciarán

That worked! Thanks a lot :-)

I put the login module in header 2

Hello

To center your menu try adding the following to the Custom CSS field of your templates parameters...

.hornav > ul {

    text-align: center;

} 

If you firstly place your login module in the header-2 module position we can then put together the CSS needed to get it horizontal.
