Hi,

Go to

directory. (It is a good idea to make a copy of

directory in case of bad modification...)

Edit the file

to custom this page.

Comment (with a

) or delete the following line to remove the slider:

print $this->render("Front/featured_set_slideshow_html.php");

Comment (with a

) or delete the following line to remove the Galleries:

print $this->render("Front/gallery_set_links_html.php");

To customise sections, you can search in configurations files in

and

Take a look also in

directory.

The documentation is here: https://manual.collectiveaccess.org/pawtucket/user/index.html

Hi darrigan, is it possible to make the login form pop-in in the home page / landing page of the pawtucket ?

darrigan

Hi Parasmoni,

What you suggest seems to be the default mode, in my case. The login form appears in a pop-in window (see the screen capture).

Isn't it your case?

Parasmoni

@darrigan: I tried in my default theme. But this is not happening in your way. In my case, the pop-up window appears only when I click on 'Login' in the top-right corner of the nav bar. But I want it in your way.

Parasmoni

@darrigan: I have found one option. In the

file I have made the following configuration:

# users must be logged in to access sitepawtucket_requires_login = 1

After this, I have got what I wanted. But instead of the pop-up window, it opens as the entire page [see image].

This will do my purpose. But yours one is aesthetically better.

darrigan

Try to check the file pawtucket/themes/your_theme/views/pageFormat/pageHeader.php and see if you find somewhere the LoginReg word in a line like this:

<a href='#' onclick='caMediaPanel.showPanel(\"".caNavUrl($this->request, '', 'LoginReg', 'LoginForm', array())."\"); return false;'

This line should made the pop-in window through the onclick directive.

(Which version of Pawtucket do you have?)

Parasmoni

My Pawtucket2 version is: 1.7.9 and this line is there in the

file.

Yet, the pop-up window does not appear in my case in my homepage automatically. It comes only when I click on the user icon at the top-right corner and then click on the "Login" link of the pop-up menu [see image].

darrigan

But it's the same in my case: we have to click on the connection menu and select the connection to get this context menu!

And that seems normal to me because not everyone visiting the site needs to log in...

So in your case you would like to have the pop-in window every time until the visitor logs in? I think this will offend many visitors!

If you really want that, you have to trigger the pop-in window when the front page is loading, if user is not logged in.

To do, you have to include an

javascript directive into the

html tag.

Find this

tag and replace it with this code:

<?php if (!$this->request->config->get('dont_allow_registration_and_login') || $this->request->config->get('pawtucket_requires_login')) { echo "<body onload='caMediaPanel.showPanel(\""; echo caNavUrl($this->request, '', 'LoginReg', 'LoginForm', array()); echo "\"); return false;' >"; } else { echo "<body>"; }?>

darrigan

Well... this code will trigger the pop-in menu on each page... that's very harrasing! ?

So... Don't touch the

tag in the

file, but go to the

and just before the first

tag, insert this:

Maybe it is a little bit "pig mode"... but it works! ?

Try and see if it's OK for you...

Parasmoni

I tested your suggested method which worked partially. But a

can close the popup window and still can access the pages. As our policy

decision is not to open the site for all, I have realized that the

option in the

is the best-suited way for me.

Many thanks for generous helps which have made me to understand several stuffs of this software.
