Are you looking for the login box itself or the whole page.
WHOLE PAGE
If you don't have custom_index or any other plugins like that installed, just edit the index.php of your Elgg directory.
Take a look at my ElggPanel plugin. You can customize the home page.
THE LOGIN BOX
The form can be edited in views/default/forms/login.php of your elgg directory.
I wanted to put a picture, put it does not appear......
I searching for the login box where it's written
Welcome
Privace terms about
it is not found in the login.php file
Please do not edit the index.php of your Elgg directory. Don't touch core files!!!
The custom_index plugin should do what you need.
@Trajan, it is not found in the index.php !! An custon index plugin don't change the ""welcome"
@Anthony - it looks like you're using a custom theme that is overwriting the view, since privacy/terms/about is not usually part of the login box. I assume you're creating a new plugin to put this code into, make sure it's the bottom-most plugin and that your file in views/default/forms/login.php is in the exact directory structure. You will probably want to copy that file from your theme and just make changes to it instead of rewriting it from scratch.
@Matt Beckett
Sorry for the late reply. No I'm not using any particular theme. In the configuration panel of elgg 1.8.3 (Installed from scratch) I go to :-
Administration
Configure
Settings
Advanced Settings
Restrict pages to logged-in users
and I put a tick next to Restrict pages to logged-in users
Once that is done you log out. You then got a box where the privacy/terms/about is on your left next to login.
And in the path views/default/forms/login.php there is nothing about privacy/terms/about position and so on.
Anthony, if you restrict pages to logged-in users then you have a private network.
In this case, your default login page is the following:
<your elgg website>/views/default/page/walled_garden.php
Your theme plugin should override this page
<your elgg website>/mod/mycooltheme/views/default/page/walled_garden.php
To customize the login box itself you need to override the default login form:
<your elgg website>/views/default/forms/login.php
with your own one in your theme plugin:
<your elgg website>/mod/mycooltheme/views/default/forms/login.php
@Elggcloud
Thank you for the info, I'll work it work. Really appreciated !
You can change the login page at /views/default/core/walled_garden/login.php
Hi, I'm new at this, so if I want to change the default login page, by changing some names like instead of Log In having Sign up; or having Keep me logged instead of Remember me; and want to change the positions of some of the names like putting Lost password in front of the box of Password, I need to make a new pluggin or to go change the /views/default/forms/login.php
Thank you
