Login Page Question

Permalink
I seem to have two pages where users can log in. One of them is the page where if you go tohttp://oregonwhitewater.org/login... which has a cID=5 which works fine. If a user which is not logged into the website clicks on "Members" in the main menu it redirects you to another login page with a cID=2. I am not able to edit that page and would like to. When I am logged in as the admin user the editing bar at the top of the screen does away and I am unable to edit the page. Why does this happen and how do I make it so I can edit that page?

There is an annoying error message in the right sidebar that I want to get rid of that doesn't mean anything but I am constantly answering questions for and I just want to get rid of it.

Thanks.

cID=5 is the "Composer Draft's" page so I think you are being bumped to the login page temporarily on your way to the Drafts page. Have a look at the title on your browser tab. On my system, cID=5 shows 'Drafts' and cID=2 shows 'Dashboard'

Pages like Login and Register are called 'Single Pages' and you have limited ability to edit them from the front end. I'm not able to edit the login page because mine has no Editable Areas on it. The actual login file is found at [root]/concrete/single_pages/login.php

If you are going to try to make changes to it, copy the login.php file to [root]/single_pages/ and edit that copy.

You could add an 'editable area' to it like so:

<?php
$a=new Area('Login Message');
$a->display($c);
?>


Also, make sure your 'Override Cache' is off at Dashboard->System and Settings->Cache and Speed Settings or else the system will not look for your new copy of login.php

Thank you for your answer. I am trying to figure out what this means in my case. Practically speaking, I don't really care that there are two login pages except for the fact that one of them displays an error message that the members of the website constantly bug me about and I just want to get rid of it. I have looked at the login.php file and don't see anything there that would give me the error message so I'm at a loss.

You can see the message here:http://oregonwhitewater.org/index.php?cID=2... It's in the right sidebar and I just want to get rid of it. Would it help to post the login.php file here?

Thanks again.
