Copying The Template
Copy the contents of:
components/com_users/views/login/tmpl
to:
your_template/html/com_users/login
Override The Language Files
To override the language file associated with this component, copy the necessary string ie:
COM_USERS_LOGIN_USERNAME_LABEL="User Name"
from:
language/en-GB/en-GB.com_users.ini
to a file called:
language/overrides/en-GB.override.ini
and:
JGLOBAL_PASSWORD="Password"
JLOGIN="Log in"
JLOGOUT="Log out"
JGLOBAL_YOU_MUST_LOGIN_FIRST="Please login first"
from:
language\en-GB\en-GB.ini
to the same override file as above ie:
language/overrides/en-GB.override.ini
For the login module, copy:
MOD_LOGIN_VALUE_USERNAME="User Name"
MOD_LOGIN_REMEMBER_ME="Remember Me"
MOD_LOGIN_FORGOT_YOUR_PASSWORD="Forgot your password?"
MOD_LOGIN_FORGOT_YOUR_USERNAME="Forgot your username?"
from:
language/en-GB/en-GB.mod_login.ini
to the same override fille as above ie:
language/overrides/en-GB.override.ini
Style The Form
This is an 'embedded' method of styling that only effects the login form - if anyone can provide code for how to define this styling as a separate fieldset in the Joomla template css, please do!
In your new copy of templates/your_template/html/com_users/login/deafult_login.php, find:
PHP:
<form action="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_users&task=user.login'); ?>" method="post">
<fieldset>
<?php foreach ($this->form->getFieldset('credentials') as $field): ?>
<?php if (!$field->hidden): ?>
<div class="login-fields"><?php echo $field->label; ?>
<?php echo $field->input; ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<button type="submit" class="button"><?php echo JText::_('JLOGIN'); ?></button>
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="<?php echo base64_encode($this->params->get('login_redirect_url', $this->form->getValue('return'))); ?>" />
<?php echo JHtml::_('form.token'); ?>
</fieldset>
</form>
and replace with:
PHP:
<form action="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_users&task=user.login'); ?>" method="post">
<fieldset style="border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px; margin: 50px auto 0 auto; padding-bottom: 50px; padding-left: 50px; padding-top: 50px; width: 350px;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 5px;">type a message here if you would like.</p>
<?php foreach ($this->form->getFieldset('credentials') as $field): ?>
<?php if (!$field->hidden): ?>
<div class="login-fields"><?php echo $field->label; ?>
<?php echo $field->input; ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<button type="submit" class="button" style="float: right; margin: 10px 87px 0 0;"><?php echo JText::_('JLOGIN'); ?></button>
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="<?php echo base64_encode($this->params->get('login_redirect_url', $this->form->getValue('return'))); ?>" />
<?php echo JHtml::_('form.token'); ?>
</fieldset>
</form>
