Hi - wonderful plugin.  I've really enjoyed using the previous versions.

There's a problem I've been having with the login page in that it wrecks the theme that word press is using (it's only this page, and probably only my theme that's at fault).   Where is the CSS that controls the width of this form?  Here's the link to a pretty much fresh upgrade to 1.4 on wp 2.1 http://www.operasoc.co.uk/data/sf-forum/ .  Click on the login link and you'll see it. :)

Thanks.

You've put me to shame! I haven't included the CSS for the login/registration forms!

I tell you what, if you can give me 3-4 hours - I'll get the CSS into the default CSS file ready for version 1.5 and I'll send you a copy so that you can do your funky stuff with it. That's a promise if you can wait that long. I'm just about to have dinner but I can get on to it straght after that and it wont take that long…

Actually - I don't need to do that. The forms that compise login/registration and password management use only 4 classes between them and three of these are already defined in the default.css file. These are:

  1. .sfmessage (final message displaying success/failure)
  2. .sfcontrol and .sfacontrol (buttons and fields)

The one you need that isn't defined is the containing div around the forms which has a class name of .sfgroup so I suggest you just add this to the default.css file with something like:

.sfgroup {
   width: 60%;
}

and have a play from there.

Trying to fit in with the wealth of differing themes out there is a bit of a problem and has already caused a few forum questions. Anyway - see if this allows you to format it to suit.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I tried your example, and it didn't work, so I experimented with a few things including as much as:

#simpleforum .sfgroup { float: left; width: 60%; }

Surprising how often float cures some esoteric little bug, but obviously not in this case! :)  It might be worth looking into, because I cannon claim to be proficient at this sort of thing.

The problem probably lies in your sidebar #side div…

I had the same problem with the sidebar on the login page but it turned out the same thing happened on all the pages created by sf-registration.php

So sidebar was displayed at all and I had an error calling the footer (as I don't have one).

I put the sidebar location in:

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/menus/forumcolumn.php"); ?>

This is a seperate sidebar for the forum as I also had to tweak the css to get it to display in the right location.

One thing I can't do is reduce the spacing! Any clues??

Other than that, so far so good….!

This is just another manifestation of the same problem… the fact that all themes are different. Although I rather think it is rare to have no footer!

The alternative is  going back to using the built in WP forms which gives users access to things like the dashbaord etc., which most users find undesirable.

This is good news.  I've been unsuccessful in removing the problem above.  I look forward to the update!

Looks like I may have resolved it although still testing to be done. And I can't test Wp2.0 as I dont have it anymore available to me. As I say, I'm looking for a release maybe over the weelend bt more likely Monday/Tuesday of next week.

I'd like replace the default WP login / register page with the login / register page from the forum. Is there an easy way to do this?

Not really no.

But there is a themed login plugin out there - do a google search on those words.

And what was with all the divs, spans and font settings in your post please?

Thanks for the prompt response. I'll search for the plugin.

Sorry about the code, it was cut-n-paste. Bad habit but I really like to use spell checking. I will refrain.

Thanks again.
