A simple module that allows to display login, register and password reset pages using overlay.
Why Overlay
This module seems to be, at the moment, the simplest method for providing a "popup login box" since Colorbox login in Drupal7 needs some work and CTools Modal needs custom coding.
It is also very light since it doesn't need anything other but core Overlay module, which is part of every Drupal 7 installation.
Usage
Upon activation the module createsi a new menu in the drupal menu list
(admin/structure/menu) and three new links are made available to the user:
- overlay-login
- overlay-register
- overlay-password
that are to be used in custom links.
Any call to these links will be displayed using overlay.
Menu links are not visible to logged in users.
Security
Anonymous visitors must have access to use the overlay module.
There are some security concers about it. While these are just concerns and I haven't found any possible exploit by the time I'm writing this (Drupal 7.15) it is only logical to inform potentional users of this module.
Please see the README file for more information on the subject.
