Dear all, 

I wonder how we can use a page other than the join/sign-in page as the first page from the site to appear to either visitors or users.

you can go to yoursite.com/admin/pages/manage and drag the page you would like the user to see to first for main menu section

Hi Kieron,

I appreciate your prompt reply. I mean the actual filed. I want to customize them.

For example, i wish to be able to display the newly shared videos of the website to the guests on the sign in page.

Would you know of a method to display the video widget on other pages such as the sign in page as i explained above.

Thank you once again regarding your interest to answer my questions

Opus, the Sign-in page physically does not exist. We have the standard blank master page which is used for the Sign in page. The system simply adds the SignIn component to this page. You can see how it works in this file: /ow_system_plugins/base/controllers/user.php Simply search for thestandardSignIn function.

To make this work you need to create your own plugin which will add the custom component to this page using as an example the functionality described in the file I've mentioned above.
