matsn0w Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) Hey all, I am working on a website and I want to style the login page, but I'm a bit confused. I want either the existing login page styled in my own way using some CSS (I guess I prefer that) or I want to create a custom page with a form to login. (Which I could style too). I used the code from Ryan and Renobird posted here - which works great - but that doesn't replace the original login page. Is there a way to some sort of 'disable' the original login? I hope my question is clear and thanks in advance, matsn0w Edited June 17, 2018 by matsn0w solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin S Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Is this custom login page for front-end users or for users who need to access the PW back-end? If it's for front-end users then I think you don't want them knowing about the core login page at all. You get a bit of extra security if you use a login page name that is not easily guessable (e.g. not "admin" or "processwire") and do not provide links to the core login page from the front-end. Then you only reveal the core login page to users who need to access the back-end. If the login page is for back-end users then I'm not sure why you would not want to use the admin-styled form given that the user is about to be working in the rest of the admin, but you could redirect away from it to your custom login page with a hook in /site/ready.php $wire->addHookBefore('ProcessLogin::execute', function(HookEvent $event) { $this->session->redirect('/your-login-page/'); }); 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matsn0w Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 Exactly what I was looking for! It's just a back-end login, but I want it to look nice, just in case someone accidentaly finds the login page. Thanks for your help, problem solved! matsn0w 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
