Overview

 

Excerpt

Instead of a dedicated login page, your site's login functionality can be presented in a modal window. This gives the user a focused context for login, without navigating away from the page they were on.

Implementing the modal login window is easy. Simply follow the steps below.

 

Step-by-step guide

To replace the standard Login widget with the modal version:

  1. Login to the CMS.
  2. Navigate to Content --> Theme Layout
  3. Locate your Login / Logout widget (generally located in the first zone). 
  4. Unselect the tickbox on the Login /  Logout widget to disable it. The widget name should now have a strikethrough and look like this: 
  5. Click the 'Add Widget' button.
  6. Search for 'Login Logout Modal'. Select it and click 'Add Widget'.
  7. Drag the widget so it sits just under the disabled Login / Logout widget. 
     
  8. In another browser or incognito window, load your website. 
  9. Click the 'Login' link and verify that a modal window launches.

Info

The original Login / Logout widget can be deleted from the Theme Layout at any time, however simply disabling it will give the same effect while still leaving the widget intact for future use.
