login.php

First, create a file (login.php) in your include/user/ folder. The file should contain this:

<?php
 
// Show login if not logged in
if($pun_user['is_guest'])
{
	if(!isset($focus_element) || (isset($focus_element) && !in_array('login', $focus_element)))
	{
 
	// Load the language files
	require PUN_ROOT.'lang/'.$pun_user['language'].'/common.php';
	require PUN_ROOT.'lang/'.$pun_user['language'].'/login.php';
 
	// Set the $redirect_url to this page, 
	$redirect_url = '' ;
	if(isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']))
		$redirect_url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ;
 
	$required_fields = array('req_username' => $lang_common['Username'], 'req_password' => $lang_common['Password']);
 
?>
		<div class="logintop">
			<form id="login" name="login" method="post" action="login.php?action=in" onsubmit="return process_form(this)">
				<p>
					<input type="hidden" name="form_sent" value="1" />
					<input type="hidden" name="redirect_url" value="<?php echo $redirect_url ?>" />
					<?php echo $lang_common['Username'] ?>:
					<input type="text" name="req_username" size="16" maxlength="25" />
					&nbsp;<?php echo $lang_common['Password'] ?>:
 
					<input type="password" name="req_password" size="16" maxlength="16" />
					&nbsp;<a href="#" onclick="document.login.submit(); return false"><?php echo $lang_common['Login'] ?></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="register.php"><?php echo $lang_common['Register'] ?></a>
				</p>
			</form>
		</div>
<?php
	}
}
else
{
?>
		<div class="logintop">
			<p>
				<?php echo $lang_common['Logged in as'].' <strong>'.pun_htmlspecialchars($pun_user['username']).'</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="login.php?action=out&amp;id='.$pun_user['id'].'">'.$lang_common['Logout'].'</a>'; ?>
			</p>
		</div>
<?php
}
?>

Editing the templates

Open include/template/main.tpl and replace this:

<div id="brdheader" class="block">
	<div class="box">

with this:

 
<div id="brdheader" class="block">
	<pun_include "login.php">
	<div class="box">

Optional: Remove Login link

To remove the login link from the navigation, open up functions and locate these lines (in generate_navlinks()):

// (line 247)
$links[] = '<li id="navlogin"><a href="login.php">'.$lang_common['Login'].'</a>';
// (line 259)
$links[] = '<li id="navlogout"><a href="login.php?action=out&amp;id='.$pun_user['id'].'">'.$lang_common['Logout'].'</a>';
// (line 266)
$links[] = '<li id="navlogout"><a href="login.php?action=out&amp;id='.$pun_user['id'].'">'.$lang_common['Logout'].'</a>';

Then simply comment them by putting // infront of them.

Optional: Style it

You can style the box by adding this to your CSS file(s):

DIV.logintop{
	/* Style your login box */
}
