For the DNN website that I am working on, we want to have the Account Login module appear on every page of the website. Simple stuff, right? Sure, but where we want it to appear is in the top right, and the default look (skin) of the module is just huge. We need default text instead of labels, and the whole thing to be about half the height that it is right now. Is there a way to edit that module, or can some of this be changed in the Language settings?

This module lets you create your own login to look however you want, so long as you put a pane in your skin where you want it to go. I've used it and it worked. I seem to recall that it couldn't use the enter key to submit the form, so you might want to check that with the developer.

I suggest using the "Ask a question" link to ascertain that it still works with the latest DNN. I can guarantee that it won't support the new live and open ID providers, but you may not need that.. and you can always link through to the normal sign-in if you need that.

Well, I've tried contacting that developer twice via Snowcovered but have no response as of yet.  I don't need the new ID providers, so that's not an issue. I just need to shrink down what is there. I may try to work with the source ASCX file for that module and see if I can alter the layout enough to fit my needs, and if that fails I may put out the cash for the module and try it. Just bugs me when people develop things like this and then abandon them, but it's not like there's anything I can do about it.

Yes, that's the best reason for always asking questions on there. It's the only way to weed out dead modules and shi**y developers. That said, the guy who did that login module was really good when I first bought it. I gave him a list of fixes and he was keen and able to do all but one.

The core ascx can be changed to look like just about anything and I originally also made a lot of changes to that. Later I decided to only make it tighter and narrower as then it fit with a lot more skins in my multi-portal instance. In recent DNN's the login has changed completely and I have a note on my task list to tidy it up again.

Just while I'm here.. I'll quickly check that that module still works where I had it installed. It's still there but I hid it. Ok.. that was worth doing, because it doesn't work!

I'll check the event viewer..

InnerException: Could not load type 'DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationController' from assembly 'DotNetNuke, Version=4.7.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

Looks like it's dead. I'll go and put a ticket in and see what happens.

Good luck with that ticket. Having the logging integrated is part of what makes this system as good as it is.

I went in and edited the two ascx files that are involved in the process and set them up to meet my needs. I only have a single portal, so I don't have the issues you do. Editing tables is easy enough, and when I threw in a little CSS to hide the annoying extra space at the bottom of the module it all came out well enough. I may convert it to a couple of divs if I get the urge, but for now this works. I find it a little annoying that when the authentication module detects that a user is logged in it just makes that module invisible instead of actually changing the output, but I can deal with it for now. It would be really nice to have a unified login system instead of the disparate skin token and separate module. Maybe i'll submit that for the wish list.
