File Attachment:

How can i change the design of the login. Because it is placing everything under the profil picture, which makes it extremely ugly.

I attached an file to make the situation more visually. If everything where next to the Profil Pic it would be perfect, no space would be wasted.

Thanks in advance.

Howdy! Yes, the Login module, depending on how it's used, can need a little modification to fit into your site. While we don't have a ton of options to customize it using parameters, you can create a template override and make any modifications to the output that you'd like. You'd need to know a little HTML or CSS to do so, but we can help along the way if you have questions.

To create a template override, see the following topic about it (at the bottom):
www.sourcecoast.com/extensions/troublesh...ng-joomla-extensions

Once the template override is created, in the default.php file you create, starting at around line 80 is the output that creates the logout module that you can modify how you see fit for you site.

Hope that get's you started, but again, if you run into issues, let us know!

Glad we could help, and teach you a little about Joomla in the process.

Template overrides are great because they allow you to upgrade components/modules without loosing your styling changes..
Template overrides can cause headaches because when you upgrade components/modules, if the newer version changes parameters or other things the template expects, your override won't work.. so always try to do a diff of your override to the new version to see if you should update your changes.

In short, template overrides are great, but they aren't perfect.

Glad we could help, and thanks for the high smiles to text ratio in your post. We love happy users! If you have anything else you need, just let us know :)
