Solved Helix Framework

Menu Login Form

Asked by SPD 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Hi,
Using latest Helix and SP PB Pro 3+

I wanted to use the Login option availble in the Template Options but is is display in the home page, very narrow and unusable. Is there any setting that I can tell it to open in its own page/article.

Can I change the setting to which pages/forms it calls ot something or should I just start with my own via Joomla menu or module options? Below you can see what I am talkin about :

Login - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1La98pIDb_ydg-sShMZ_Nol37OVxaOyJN/view?usp=sharing
Registration -https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vLZDbd5DIMkAZfeQSeqcYp93QqZRwCX-/view?usp=share_link

Cheers

Please add login and registration to menu as separate menu items. It doesn't have to be MainMenu (!) - you can use different menu or create a new one. Then you will be able to control modules.
Use below custom CSS to fix login form width.

.com-users .login > .row.justify-content-center > .col-lg-4 {
  width: 99%;
}

Hi there,

I appreciate you reaching out. I sincerely apologize for this oversight. Will you please provide me the Joomla administrator access to check the issue? I will check & get back to you soon.

Hi,

Maybe on login and registration subpage disable left and right module, then component will get more space to display needed content. Right now it looks that there content area is too narrow, indeed.

Without URL hard to help more.

Hi Paul,
Ok, this might be my misunderstanding of the Helix login option. All I had done was turn on the option in Basics Menu. Was I suppose to set up additional modules/pages as I don't see anywhere , like menu, where I can remove my left/right modules. fwiw, that is my home page and those module are set to only show there.

No matter where I am on site, when I click login it goes to home page
Link to test site below to see

Must be me doing something wrong, just not sure what, the docs just say turn it on for login, kinda :-)

My CSS ix should help even with left and right modules.

Idea to create menu items with Login allows you disable modules from that subpage only, for example from left or right side to have more space.

Yes, we all learn new things quite often, but here we see weird things/bugs/errors everyday almost like in Zone 51, haha.

Cheers and fair enough re: Zone 51. I'm an ex-developer so 100% understand the need to sometimes jut get in and look, but personally I would prefer as last resort, I'm sure other are just happy to get the issue fixed! :-)
