X-Cart forums - move login/registration

Quote:

can this be done fairly simplely

You could SIMPLY comment out the auth.tpl include in home.tpl

file: /skin1/customer/home.tpl

FIND:

Code:

{if $login eq "" }

{include file="auth.tpl" }

{else}

{include file="authbox.tpl" }

{/if}

REPLACE WITH:

Code:

{if $login ne "" }

{* {include file="auth.tpl" }

{else} *}

<br />

{include file="authbox.tpl" }

{/if}

What this will do: UNTIL a user is logged in, there is nothing showing -- then once logged in, the authbox with the login info appears. Note the {if $login eq "" } was replaced with {if $login ne "" } -- so if there is no login, then there is nothing -- if login IS NOT EMPTY, then show the authbox.

YOU CAN THEN add links to login or registration as desired... this is how I have i set up. Works great for me. I DO NOT have any login box on my site... BUT I have an ":orders history" link, which becomes: /error_message.php?need_login= and then the user can login and see their orders. This is one way to do this.
