Re: Right Sidebar On Milky Way
Well this is starting to sound more like a mod request
If you would like the loginbox to disapear after the user has logged in it should not be so hard, you could take a close look at this example and rewrite it to fit your box:
<!-- IF not S_USER_LOGGED_IN and not S_IS_BOT -->
<br clear="all" />
<form method="post" action="{S_LOGIN_ACTION}">
<div><div class="tbl-h-l"><div class="tbl-h-r"><div class="tbl-h-c"><div class="tbl-title"><h4><a href="{U_LOGIN_LOGOUT}">{L_LOGIN_LOGOUT}</a></h4></div></div></div></div>
<table class="tablebg" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="row1" align="center" valign="middle"><img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/login.png" alt="" /></td>
<td class="row1" align="center"><span class="genmed">{L_USERNAME}:</span> <input class="post" type="text" name="username" size="10" /> <span class="genmed">{L_PASSWORD}:</span> <input class="post" type="password" name="password" size="10" /> <!-- IF S_AUTOLOGIN_ENABLED --> <span class="gensmall">{L_LOG_ME_IN}</span> <input type="checkbox" class="radio" name="autologin" /><!-- ENDIF --> <input type="submit" class="btnmain" name="login" value="{L_LOGIN}" /></td>
</tr>
<tr><td class="cat-bottom" colspan="2"> </td></tr>
</table>
<div class="tbl-f-l"><div class="tbl-f-r"><div class="tbl-f-c"> </div></div></div></div>
{S_LOGIN_REDIRECT}
{S_FORM_TOKEN}
</form>
<!-- ENDIF -->
(Strip what you don't need and make sure it's not all in one line anymore)
Otherwise I would start researching how one of the many available portals do this, they usually show user stuff (like name, avatar etc) after the login.
I hope you do realize the box is already in the index page when a user is not logged in, so that one + the one in the top menubar + your idea would give you 3 ways to login on one page, isn't that a bit too much of a good thing?
