Is there a easy way to personalize the standard Strongbox members enter page? I suppose I could read the tutorial but I'm just looking for a quick answer.
I've tried editing the page but it does not accept my changes when I upload it. I was able to change the .css file though. The .html has file permission set to 644 just like the .css file. Is the page dynamically generated by the Strongbox script?
I just want to stick a logo on the top and personalize the text a little.
I'm lazy
I've never tried
but you can edit the page
when I got the email it gave me instuctions on how to do it
let me check my email
hold on...............
shit
go here http://www.bettercgi.com/forum/
from my welcome to strongbox email:
"CUSTOMIZING THE LOGIN AND DENIED PAGES
The login page and the page shown when a log in
attempt is denied are both pain HTML files that you
can edit with any text editor to better suit the look
of your site. We don't suggest using a WYSIWYG such
as FrontPage because as these programs are designed
primarily for home use on amateur web sites they may
make changes to your pages which aren't desired on a
professional site. Dreamweaver also has a tendency to
break any page which includes a form. The login page
is sblogin/login.shtml and the denied page is
sblogin/badlogin.shtml. While there is no requirement
for you to make any changes to these pages at all,
we do suggest adding a customer service link on
badlogin.shtml so that members know what to do if they
have trouble remembering their user name or password."
hope that helps. i haven't tried it yet as we just got it set up.
going with a simple css to change the bg colours and such works nicely, it integrates the page with the rest of your site without you having to touch (& risk breaking) any of the main code pages.

In case somone Googles on this topic and finds this page in the future, it will be called
login.php in Strongbox 3. That gets around needing to have SSI enabled.
Hmmm, I tired changing the login.shtml but it broke the page no matter what I did. Luckily I kept a backup version or I'd be bugging Luke and Ray right now. ;)
Backup backup backup.....good boy, you have done well!!!
