Restrict access to site unless logged in

This tutorial may not be exactly what you want but should get you started, the bit about "Logging into the extranet". You can surround the login part with home page detail.

BTW, all these IBM tutorials are excellent.

Stephtek,

Yes, it is possible. The easy way to accomplish this task is to hack page.tpl.php in your themes// directory. If you want to ensure that any unauthenticated user receives a simple login page, do the following:

In page.tpl.php, add the following code to the top of the file

	global $user;
        // if the user is not logged in, the user will have a uid of 0...
	if (!$user->uid) {
		include 'page-login.tpl.php';
		return;
	}

Create a page-login.tpl.php file in whatever template you wish in your themes// directory. Add the following form to the body of the page

...

<?php global $user;
if (!$user->uid) : ?>
<h2>Please Login</h2>
<form action="<?php print base_path(); ?>user/login"  method="post" id="loginform" >
<label id="edit-name"><span>user:</span></label><input type="text" maxlength="60" name="edit[name]" id="edit-name"  size="15" value="" class="form-text required" /><br />
<label id="edit-pass"><span>pass:</span></label><input type="password" maxlength="" name="edit[pass]" id="edit-pass"  size="15"  class="form-text required" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="op" value="Log in"  class="form-submit" />
<input type="hidden" name="edit[form_id]" id="edit-form_id" value="user_login"  /></form>
<?php endif; ?>
...

That should do it. You'll, of course, want to tweak the login page to look like something a client would want to login to...

Use one of the Taxonomy Control (or _lite) modules, or even the Menu_By_Role module. No coding needed.
