XF 1.3 Login/Register URL

[JamesBrown]

As a guest if you click on Sign up Now! button on the home page then the regular sign up form drops down from the top. Looking at the URL its http://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/login/

When I put this URL as a link in a notice it does not trigger the drop down sign up form, rather it takes me to another login page. How can I get this link in a notice to work the same as the Sign up Now Button and trigger the dropdown login form? Thanks

Give the link or other element a class of "LoginControl", e.g.

<a href="{xen:link login}" class="LoginControl">Log in</a>

Thanks @Chris D

The code now reads

<a href="login" class="LoginControl">Register Now</a>

but still defaults to a log in page rather than triggering the drop down log in menu.

written as

<a href="{xen:link login}" class="LoginControl">Log in</a>

Thanks @Chris D

The code now reads

<a href="login" class="LoginControl">Register Now</a>

but still defaults to a log in page rather than triggering the drop down log in menu.

This is how the sign up button does it:

<div class="section loginButton">     
   <div class="secondaryContent">
     <label for="LoginControl" id="SignupButton"><a href="{xen:link login}" class="inner">{xen:if $xenOptions.registrationSetup.enabled, {xen:phrase sign_up_now}, {xen:phrase log_in}}</a></label>
   </div>
</div>

Specifically in the label part, the for="LoginControl" would cause the pull down.

Thanks both - I have that working now.
