My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

Hi,

I'm new & evaluating b2evolution for a site I'm working on. I can't find any way to have the login/reg screens match my selected theme for the blogs.

This thread:
http://forums.b2evolution.net//viewtopic.php?t=11519&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=custom+login

was no help, it mentions "/inc/VIEW/login/ "

which does not exist in my installation. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

login/register/lost pass, et al, now live in /skins_adm/ or summat .. requires a core hack, but they can be integrated into a skin ;)

Thanks. Do you have any links on how I'd accomplish a core hack to get these pages to match the rest of the themed pages?

I'm amazed that no one has fixed this yet. If you are using one of the very darkly colored themes, the jump to the un-skinned login/registration page is fugly, and really looks like a hack, to me anyway.

Is there some deliberate reason that these pages are not skinned?

Here's an example http://www.sonorth.com/travel/htsrv/login.php

You'll have to edit 2 files /skins_adm/login/_html_header.inc.php and /skins_adm/login/_html_footer.inc.php

It works like this

_html_header.inc.php

[Login form goes here]

_html_footer.inc.php

Can you post a link to your site here

Thank You. Nice job on your example page. I've been hacking around in the header/footer files, but my efforts were not getting me very far until I found a login.css buried in the folder structure. I'll see how far I can get with this & then post back w/ a link. I have no desire to change themes or give users that option, so hardcoding the styles into the core files is not a concern for me, except for upgrades of course. If I can get the page black w/ white text & throw a large image across the top, it'll probably suffice. Thanks again for your help.

Ours works a lot different from that, it's actually part of your normal blog skin ( complete with widgets and stuff ) [url=http://fire.astonishme.co.uk/index.php/fireside]demo[/url] ... ignore the fugly layout, we're starting by converting the clients existing site before we tart it up ;)

I'll be doing a write up on how it's achieved and releasing sample files ... might take a few days before I get there though ;)
