Removal of login box

[Graeme1978]

Hi all,

Is there any way of removing the login box from the 4images gallery frontpage?  I've got a small gallery for which I do not require users to register or login.

If anybody can tell me exactly what info I need to remove and from which files I would be most grateful

Regards,

Graeme

user_loginform.html template.

Are you saying to remove that file?  If I do that I get the following error when viewing the gallery...

Template Error: Couldn't open Template ./templates/default/user_loginform.html

no, not remove, but edit it, otherwise u'll need do changes in includes/page_header.php (wich is not very a good idea) or edit every main template and remove {user_box} tag from each.

Cheers - which part of user_loginform.html do I need to edit??

First backup your files, following was not tested
I think it´s one way with fewest edits ?


home.html
FIND & delete

Code: [Select]

<tr>
                      <td class="head2" height="20"><img src="{template_url}/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="4" height="4" />{lang_registered_user}</td>
                    </tr>
user_loginform.html
Replace all code with for example

Code: [Select]

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td></td>
  </tr>
</table>
OR
user_loginform.html
Replace all code with for example

Code: [Select]

<!-- nothing -->

I don´t know which Style/templates you use(??), but you can make a new template for example

CREATE login.html

Code: [Select]

{header}
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
 <tr>
  <td class="bordercolor">
   <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0">

{footer}

And now you can reach the loginform via "yourdomain.com/index.php?template=login"
or you login via yourdomain.com/admin/index.php

perhaps you have to edit

language/yourlanguage/main.php
Find

Code: [Select]

$lang['registered_user'] = "Registrierte Benutzer";
Replace with

Code: [Select]

$lang['registered_user'] = "";

EDIT
On closer examination it seems that removing login box needs a global editing 

[RoadDogg]

I have solved it like this (not removed it, just replaced with navigationmenue, it´s just easier) :

Find user_loginform.html
Replace code with this one (example)

Code: [Select]

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td valign="top" align="left">
     &raquo; <a href="{url_home}">{site_name}</a><br /> 
     &raquo; <a href="{cat_url}">{cat_name}</a><br /><br>
     &raquo; <a href="{url_top_images}">{lang_top_images}</a><br />
     &raquo; <a href="{url_new_images}">{lang_new_images}</a><br /> 
     &raquo; <a href="{url_search}">{lang_advanced_search}</a><br />
     
     </td>
  </tr>
</table>

So it looks:


1st link -> Link to mainpage
2nd link -> link to random categorie (according to random image)
3rd link -> top pictures
4th link -> new pictures
5th link -> search

You can fit it by your wishes

I want to display only random maincategories, not every cat, but I don´t know how? Is it possible ?
