I'd like to change where the 'or Join' link points to on the login page. I'm having trouble finding where this is generated from. Can someone help me find this link in the code so I can change the URL it points to? Presumably it's not configurable anywhere other than being hardwired to point to the signup form. We have this disabled and have our own signup form elsewhere.

Thanks

Mike

Mike, you can change this in "user_standard_sign_in.html (ow_system_plugins/base/views/controllers/user_standard_sign_in.html) .

Please note that any changes you make in .html files, will be lost if you update the software.

You have to edit the href that the join button points to. You need to change it to point to the URL that you want the join button to point to.

<a href="{$joinUrl}">{text key='base+join_submit_button_join'}</a>

instead of {$joinUrl} type the URL you need: (<a href="http://www.neededURL.com"> ) .

Once more, note that any changes you do in the code will be lost once you update the software.

Is it possible to turn that join link in to a custom img button?

Yes sure Erik. File is the same.
You can either add image directly within the .html or via CSS. All depends on how good you are in .html/CSS.
