Hi there.

I want to create a control panel type box to go on my forum widgets.

So basically I just want the login box, with some text, some variables and some basic html underneath. Shouldn't be too hard right? Any ideas? You can't edit the login box directly...

I don't know how to get the code for the login box into a new widget which I can combine with the HTML.

Thanks for your reply.

Hello ribena_wrath,

I believe that this is the HTML code that you're looking for:

Code:
<form method="post" action="/login"><p><label for="username"><strong>Username:</strong></label></p><p style="height: 2em;"><input type="text" class="inputbox autowidth" value="" maxlength="40" size="15" id="username" name="username"></p><p><label for="password"><strong>Password:</strong></label></p><p style="height: 2em;"><input type="password" class="inputbox autowidth" maxlength="25" size="15" name="password" id="password"></p><p align="center"><a rel="nofollow" href="/profile?mode=sendpassword">I forgot my password</a></p><p align="center"><input type="checkbox" checked="checked" class="checkbox" tabindex="4" id="autologin" name="autologin"><label for="autologin"> Log me on automatically at each visit</label></p><p align="center"><input type="submit" class="button" value="Log in" tabindex="6" name="login"></p></form>

Hello Smile
Thanks for the reply!

That is not exactly what I am looking for, but you're on the right track.


I basically want the log in features, plus the code that recognises someone is online, and then shows the welcome message to the user and their avatar. I want to combine it with some variables and HTML to give them some useful links ect.

I can get the code to make a copy of the login box. I tested it with my mod username, and it shows the avatar and user name of the username I used to edit the site!

The code you supplied keeps no information of the user, and is simply a login box.

Ah i get what you mean as i wanted the same.
I can't help you unfortunately but i'll help everyone else understand.

He wants, the log in box you provide, where when you log in, it changes to have your avatar and 'My Profile' link, but he also wants it to include other user CP links, like 'Preferences' and 'Friends' etc...

Have you looked on er.. i think it was in 'Tricks and Tips' i dont know, i can't remember, but it basically has the code for a User CP widget?

If you haven't i'll try and find it for you, if you have... well then you know where it is lol.

It doesn't have the whole log in feature which you want, but its start on the other codes, and hopefully someone will provide a code for the log in thing here.


EDIT: okay here's the link: https://help.forumotion.com/t42100-control-panel-for-users

as i mentioned, it doesn't contain the log in feature but it may help.

Hi,

Also, for the login box/profile details (like here on the support forum) it's a widget Admin panel >> Modules > Widgets > Log in > 'Drag n drop' it and save, then have your control panel below it (link in above post)

I'm actually using this at the moment. It works fine, but I just wanted to streamline the whole thing really.

Ok, that sounds good Smile

Did you want something like our "Shortcuts" underneath the avatar/login box?

I don't know the code for the swapping login box & Avatar pending user status.

Well I want exactly what I have on my forum already, here

It's the 'control panel boxes on the top right. Obviously you won't be logged in, but I'm sure you'll recognise the coding.

Appreciate all the help btw guys.
