Assign to a menu? was created by Alecwhankins

Is there a way to assign the login/registration to a menu item? Like I currently have here: lawger.com/new/

The built-in login registration looks terrible and gets overwritten on my site on different page.

The SCLogin module is the best way to add a login/register button anywhere you'd like. There really aren't standard "Login" or "Register" views for JFBConnect that a user should go to from a menu item:
* The "Login" and "Register" views a user should use are simply Joomla's standard page, which JFBConnect can add the social buttons too automatically. You can easily create menu items to the standard Joomla login and registration view already.
* The "Login/Register" page that a user is brought to after they try to connect with a social network is not something you'd like to directly. That view is only shown if Automatic Registration is disabled and they have already authenticated with a social network.

I hope that helps explain some more. If you can clarify more about what you're looking for if I'm missing something, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex

So how do I customize the login/registration to match my existing navigation? Also, when I click into other pages on my site the JFBConnect registration becomes invisible (i.e. the font whites out.)

This is horribly frustrating.

To integrate into that menu area, you'll likely just need to apply some styles to our button. I just took a look at your /new site and see there already is some new styling applied to the page compared to what you show above. If you're still looking for some specific updates, let me know what you're looking for or missing in the button you've styled, and we'll gladly try to help get you the right CSS to match things up as you'd like.

Thanks,
Alex

Thank you,

I was able to make it match somewhat, but this sort of stuff isn't my forté.

The button still doesn't match the template in terms of responsiveness and hover. Do you know how I can make it match exactly? Is there a way to impute the css from the template navigation into that button?

Here are some steps that should help you out with both the responsiveness and hover issues

1. Copy the /modules/mod_sclogin/login.php file to /templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/mod_sclogin/login.php
2. In the new ../html/mod_sclogin/login.php file around line 28, replace

echo '<div class="sourcecoast sclogin-modal-links sclogin"><a ' . $loginClass . ' href="#login-modal" role="button" data-toggle="' . $modalName . '">' . JText::_('MOD_SCLOGIN_LOGIN') . '</a>';
if ($showRegisterLinkInModal)
   echo $spacer . '<a ' . $registerClass . ' href="' . $helper->registerLink . '">' . JText::_('MOD_SCLOGIN_REGISTER_FOR_THIS_SITE') . '</a>';
echo '</div>';

with

echo '<div class="sourcecoast sclogin-modal-links sclogin"><ul class="nav menu"><li><a ' . $loginClass . ' href="#login-modal" role="button" data-toggle="' . $modalName . '">' . JText::_('MOD_SCLOGIN_LOGIN') . '</a></li>';
if ($showRegisterLinkInModal)
   echo '<li>'.$spacer . '<a ' . $registerClass . ' href="' . $helper->registerLink . '">' . JText::_('MOD_SCLOGIN_REGISTER_FOR_THIS_SITE') . '</a></li>';
echo '</ul></div>';

In the CSS, replace the '.sclogin-modal-links a {...}' block with

#jm-top-bar-mod .sclogin-modal-links .nav.menu > li a {
margin-right: 1px;
color: #fff;
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: 600;
border-left: 0;
background: #29b6a6;
padding: 0 20px;
text-decoration:none;
}
#jm-top-bar-mod .sclogin-modal-links .nav.menu > li a:hover {
background:#118679;
}

Thank you!

Do I have to change the template or something? After I did this, there wasn't a new template in the SCLogin module and nothing changed on the front end....

I couldn't find "/modules/mod_sclogin/login.php" but there is a "/modules/mod_sclogin/tmpl/login.php" so I copied that file (and only that file) to: "/templates/Responsive_SClogin/html/mod_sclogin/login.php"

The CSS didn't work so I changed it back for the time being.....

You're correct that the file to copy was /modules/mod_sclogin/tmpl/login.php. It sounds like you copied it to the wrong directory though. /templates/Responsive_SClogin/ is not the Joomla template you're using.

Please copy that file to:
templates/jm-joomclassifieds/html/mod_sclogin/login.php
jm-joomclassifieds *looks* to be the template you're using on your site, but if not, copy it to whatever template you're actually using in the template manager.

As for the CSS, I'm not sure why that didn't work. Please make sure you've cleared your Joomla and browser caches afterwards to ensure that the CSS changes are properly reloaded.

I hope that helps,
Alex
