home questions
 

on the home page for my site, there are bunch of menus on the left and the right. what i would like to do is remove all of the menus except the "Authentication" menu and move that to the middle of the page.

my goal is to have that log in page as the main page where a customer has to log-in in order to proceed to the next pages.

i know there is no easy way to do this, but any help would be greatly appreciated!!

thanks in advanced!!

ps: using X-Cart Gold Version 4.1.11

done and done!

edit the templates under customer, add {if $login ne ""} at the beginning and {/if} at the end of the template files used for the main page.

Edit the central section of home.tpl to add the login box in the middle

{if $login eq ""}
{include file="auth.tpl"}
{/if}

Then remove the login box from the right of the screen. Get rid of the
{if $login eq ""}
{include file="auth.tpl"
{else}

and leave this, (replacing the else statement)

{if $login ne ""}
{include file="authbox.tpl"}
{/if}
