How To Display Log In Box on Main Page?

No - nothing that complicated.

Just want the split log in box to appear on the home page for the customers convenience.

Similar to this site:

Why not just install the "Login Box" sidebox? You can set it to display on either side. And, it only takes a couple of minutes to install. I can be found HERE.

Does anyone know how to do this?

If you get the Login box from the Free Software Add Ons, as Get Em Fast suggested, you would probably have what you want ...

You can then customize that further if you only want it to show on the Home Page ...

I'll give it it a try now. The only issue I will have is that I will need to turn back on my left column to display the login box - this is my preferred location for the login - but want the left column to display only on the home page.

For now I will install it and display in the right column to get going.

Thanks.

I installed the login box. Had a couple of issues:

Instructions say to copy over the following files, but some were not in the download file:

login_box.php - Found and uploaded.
tpl_login.php - Not found.
tpl_login_box.php - Found and uploaded.
layout_box.php - Not found.
login_box_defines.php - Found and uploaded.

Possibly I missed something in the instructions?

At any rate, the box appeared in admin box controller and I added it. But I had a problem with the display of the box - everything appeared double:





What I'd like to do is change the look of the box on the login - to look like the ZC login here:



I really like this sidebox - especially the account menu choices after they have logged in.

Any assistance would be helpful!
