Hi, I want to have utilize the joomla login module for people that only have front-end member/author/editor access, but I don't want the form to be on my public pages since I only plan on having a handful of members. Instead I want to have on a page that only be accessed via url, i.e domain.com/login.html. How would I achieve that? Thanks
what are you asking for dude? hows that possible? you want a form that will be displayed only for a specific type of people,how will the joomla know about those people without them being logged in? any author/editor before getting logged in will b public and you want the login module module to be hidden from public ! are you confused?
No that's not what I'm saying. You can publish a page in joomla without that page being a page that's accessed by the menu. So i can have a page that is domain.com/somepage.html Are you following me thus far? On that page I want to put the login form. Is that achievable. So on that pag
I think that this should be possible if you make that page to be Uncategorised. I didn't try that, but I assume it should work. If the members you are mentioning registered (well, off course, otherwise they wouldn't be members you can have that page to be available only to registered users. But I assume that you already know that, so I am not sure if I actually answered your question.
okay..but that link would be visible to all ? right? check this http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=404&t=424787
My idea is. Create is submenu in your main menu (or top menu etc), This submenu should be accessible only by registered users. like site.com/login. ( This will not be seen to public profile ) give this url to people to login. when anyone open this page then it will ask for login and your login form will be visible there. Check this if it works.
This is easily achievable. Create a piece of content and it doesn't matter if it is uncategorized or not. Then create a menu item to access that content item. Publish a new login module to appear on that menu/content item. Click on the menu item to confirm that the login appears (make sure it is published) Copy the URL of the content item. Set the menu item itself to unpublished. Paste the URL in your browser and your menu item is gone but the login module is there. The login module will then appear on any page where &Itemid=(your menu item id). So you can take any content item or even components and just make sure the &Itemid=yourid is there... Hope this makes sense.
Just create a Login page and unpublish it. It can still be directly accessed via a url and won't be displayed in a menu
