Here's what I want:

A simple link at the footer of my page that says "log in." When the user clicks that, I'm deciding on either it pops up a script-like window to input user and pw, replaces the "login" link with the user and pw input spaces, or pops up a separate page to login. Main main problem right now is just figuring out how to make a link to the login block...

I just want the login to be kind of discreet. I am imagining there would be a simple print blabla command I could do that would just print a link like that, but with my luck I doubt it's that simple... Perhaps there is a module that controls such output?

Let me know if you guys have any ideas.

Thanks in advance,
- Danielsan

make a link to http://www.example.com/user

edit: this will make the link appear all the time. there are some more sophisticated approaches too if you want.

Ok, I linked to "/drup/user" but when I click the link nothing happens... Do I need to set the target to something???

www.stillugly.com/drup is the site. Login is in the Lower Left.

part of your problem is that you have a path pointing to drup/user/index.html as seen on some of the links in your content.

where is that path being generated? the index.html needs to be dropped off.

Yeah, I tried that and it just brings up a big 404 error page.

Ah, that's just the links on the page which I'm not worried about right now. I set the login to http://www.stillugly.com/drup/user which is the usual URL I use to login... When I click login it actually loads the URL into the browser bar, but the page doesn't change... It seems like I need to specify that it loads into one of the page regions or something like that or set a certain target value for the link... I'm not sure...

On every one of my sites if i point to mysite.com/user it pulls up the login form like http://drupal.org/user (assumes you aren't logged in, otherwise it takes you to your profile)

your site is in a subdirectory. what is set as the $base_url in settings.php ?

Try Thickbox Module of Drupal.

You can hide the login from the Block and Let ThickBox handle the login process. You can place a discreet link of login either by way of an image or say login or any words and point to http://yoursite.com/login The Thickbox will take over and do the login process.
