Add text to user "Log In" page

By jeremycaldwell on 13 Dec 2006 at 22:32 UTC

I need some help adding text to the user "Log In" page: http://caesy.com/user

I would like to add text above the "username" field and create a new paragraph or two under the "Log In" button. The text below the "Log In" button should be outside of the border I have running around the entire log in form, so it would be its own line outside of the log in function.

Could someone please help me add these lines of text? What do I edit? I have tried getting the user.module edited to add this text but with no luck.

There are several ways you can do this.

By far the easiest is to create a php page, type the text you want above the login, insert the "login block" in a php snippet and type the text you want after the login block.

Try inserrting php code like this in your page:

$block = module_invoke('module_name', 'block', 'view', 0);
print $block['content'];

module_name = The name of the module (probably "Users")
The number = Is the $delta of the block (not sure - you'll have to experiment)

(snippet is from http://drupal.org/node/26502)

Or you can use the insert_block module

If the login block isn't quite what you want, you can imbed the "login page" in your custom login page
Including another page in your node

The other way is to define custom regions in your php template, and insert the block text before and after the login box. This is really only useful if you think you will need this functionality in a broader aplication.

Hope that helps.
Cheers,
