Hi,

I have to say I am really enjoying your login plugin and will be purchasing JFBConnect as soon as I iron out some other pending issues with my website.

My question is this and am sure somebody might have asked. I want to change the wording for the login from "log in" to "login". I searched with firebug and its showing me the below code but I dont know where to change as in where the file is.

<div class="sourcecoast sclogin-modal-links sclogin">
<a data-toggle="modal" role="button" href="#login-modal">Log in</a>

2) Can you give me a general guide to redesigning the login popup box to my tast, I just need a few pointers.

3) is there a way to make the logged in user box in the format shown in the second picture where the log-out link will be in a drop down list as show in the picture?

I think am asking a lot but I hope you can help thanks.

1) All the strings for the SCLogin module are in our language files:
/language/en_GB/en_gb.mod_sclogin.ini
You can change it there or use the Language Manager -> Overrides feature of Joomla to make a permanent change that won't be overridden when you upgrade.

2) Please see our Theming guide, which will show you what files to edit to change the CSS or layout to your taste:
www.sourcecoast.com/sclogin/documentation/themes

3) In the User Menu that you created in the Joomla Menu Manager, create a new menu item as follows:
* Type: External Link
* Title: Logout (or whatever you want)
* External URL: sclogout
When you set the external URL to sclogout, the SCLogin module will automatically replace that with a real logout link, just like in the dropdown menu of this site.

I hope that helps, but if you have any questions, just let me know!

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks Alex, just what i needed. 1 and 2 is okay with me but am having problems with 3.

I created a new menu item as an external link and it did not convert the logout to a drop down link as expected.

Is there another way to achieve the required result? Thanks

Make the "Link" lowercase: sclogout

That should do it, but if not, let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Oh, also, please note that the sclogout menu item link only works when you're using the SCLogin's User Menu option and have that set to the Joomla menu you've configured above. If you're using some other drop-down menu manager, that special logout link won't work. I can't tell from the image you provided above, but that doesn't look like SCLogin's default User Menu option.. though you could have styled it.

No problem for the help, it's what we're here for. If you run into any other issues or have suggestions on how we could improve the SCLogin module, just let me know.

Finally, if you haven't already, please consider leaving a rating and review for the SCLogin module, or our support, on the Joomla Extension Directory. It's certainly not required, but very appreciate:

Thanks,
Alex
