Hi, I need to display the admin menu without the login form. So to login I goto site.com/login and once I'm logged in the admin menu will display in a specific place on selected pages. I can make the admin menu display on selected pages without a problem.
I haven't found a way to split the login form from the admin menu. Is this possible?
Thanks for reading.

Not very clear
The admin menu should not be displayed if you are not logged in with appropriate access authority (check that first).
If you mean you don't want to see the menu when not logged in, just change the Navigation block's "Role specific visibility settings" to "authenticated user."

I mean I dont want to
I mean I dont want to display a login box on the site. To login the admin must type site.com/login and that takes you to the login form. once logged in, the admin can goto any page of the site and the admin menu will display where I have chosen to display it.
So not logged in - no login box or admin menu in left column
Logged in - admin menu in left column.
Sorry for the confusion. thanks for your reply.
Oh
So, sort of like my site http://nanwich.info.
First, you don't type site.com/login; you type site.com/user. Or you can hid a little login link like I do in the bottom right hand corner.
You just turn off the "User login" block (admin >> Site building >> Blocks).
The admin menu should take care of itself.

Thats perfect!
Thankyou :)
I did a bad bad thing...
Ok so I was too excited on cleaning things up on my content manager and then I hid the login page from unauthenticated users... and then when i logged out i lost the block cause i am at that point an unauthenticated user and cant get it... so is there a way to access it manually... I think it is something obvious but I have been trying and missing it... any advice? joe[at]digitalruck.us
Yes
This is a perfect example of why you should search before posting a question. This has been answered probably more than 1,000 times, and is even on several handbook pages.
http://www.example.com/user - where "user" is exactly that - not your userid.

*EDIT* Found answer
Sorry if its a noob kinda question but i tried to search for the answer... www.site.com/user doesnt work... thats why i am stumped...
**UPDATE**
you were right but maybe i missed a part... but what worked was www.site.com/?q=user
Sorry i searched but i think i wasn't use the right terminology to make my search relevant. I am good now... thanks for the help!!
