Nope, the login page can now be part of a skin, and customized the same was as any other page/disp in a skin:

http://b2evolution.net/man/disp-login

Thought that might be the case.

Thanks

Sorry, I don't know "WHERE" to go to edit it?

Back office? Files? I don't understand the docs.

@bloggerboy as well as other "disps" (http://b2evolution.net/man/front-office-reference/disp-reference/), you may find disp=login at skin_fallback_v[API version]/_login.disp.php. See http://b2evolution.net/man/skin-development-primer (6. Understanding the Skin API version) to find out your API version.

Sorry, I do not understand this at all. The docs make no sense to me. Obviously I am not getting key concepts.

Where do you set $dev_menu = 1?

Do I have to create a new collection for a login page?

How do you actually use disp= ?

Can you just explain how to turn on the DEV menu item?

It says "in the right config file"

?????

1. To turn on the dev menu, just add a statement $debug=1; at the bottom of the file conf\_advanced.php

2. Do you want to know how to link the login form? Or may be other meaning I have not understood. However I paste a screenshot , maybe it can help you.

2 links for you:

1) The recommended way to turn on the Dev Menu : http://b2evolution.net/man/dev-menu

I cannot seem to get there though. Just redirects me back to home page of blog

I've tried

http://www.cybermidi.com/news/?disp=login

http://www.cybermidi.com/news/index.php/blog/?disp=login

If you are already logged in, it will definitely redirect you to the homepage which is normal because you can't log in twice.

If you're not logged in, it works:

Ah, I finally understand :)

Thank you both.

Thanks for the info.
