How do I add the user login screen (http://localhost/user/login" to a node so that when I access that node (http://localhost/node/NN), I get the login screen? I think this is essentially referencing another node, which I thought could be done with [node:user/login], but that doesn't seem to be working for me. I thought I had found on the drupal site how to do this, but the search results are not returning what I remember. I apologize for my poor memory.

Are you just trying to get that form to show up at a different URL? You can use path.module for that to effectively "rename" user/login. You can, of course, also just have the login block on the desired page(s). Can you be more specific about what you're trying to do? On Friday 03 February 2006 23:11, Jiann-Ming Su wrote:

I did figure that out. If all else fails, this may be what I have to settle for.

Yeah, this isn't quite it either, because the "login block" will still be in the "fixed" location that you specify the block to be at under Administer->blocks.
Can you be more specific about what you're trying to do?
Basically, I want to create a page/node so that when you access it, it shows you the username and password text fields. You may be asking, how's this different than simply doing a url alias to http://localhost/user/login? I'm hoping to customize the look of the user login screen. If I do the url aliasing, then I can customize a node, add a "click here to login" link, which then simply points them to the http://localhost/user/login. This seems kind of silly. Seems like if the node can have a link to the login page, then why not simply display the login prompt? I hope I've clarified what I'm asking.

Look at the logintoboggan module?

Yeah, except I'm using 4.6.5 (http://drupal.org/node/34309). I think I'll just create a link to http://localhost/user/login on the new node I'm creating. Thanks for all the tips. -- Jiann-Ming Su "I have to decide between two equally frightening options. If I wanted to do that, I'd vote." --Duckman "The system's broke, Hank.

Another possibility is to move the login block. In 4.6 you can use Flexiblock, or in 4.7 you have a lot more options for placing a block. Position the login block into the "Content (bottom)" area (in 4.7, or one of your creation in 4.6), then set it to show only on the one path, then style it via CSS to whatever you want. Actually in 4.7 you can override the form's theme function directly. That would have the effect of the "login block" appearing below your own content on just one page, while user/login would continue to function normally. Would that work for what you're trying to do? -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry@garfieldtech.com ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson

You can't actually add a user login to a node. But what you can do is use something simple_access to restrict access to users with a certain role. Gordon.

Enable the user login block for that node, in administer >> blocks -- you can tell it to only be on certain pages. Is that what you want?

I Might misunderstand your question. But AFAIK you can simply copy and paste the HTML from the /user/login page into a node. Did you already try that? Make sure you have the input format (Filter) configured so it allows all the required HTML tags. Bèr
