DNN 7 finally comes with pop up login window but many people actually fooled by its tricky method to perform that. The DNN 7 pop up login module is developed employing Jquery to load the default login web page through iframe!

For that reason, to modify the design and style of the login panel, you will ought to look for 3 major parts:

1. The pop up windows design.
2. The login page.
3. The Login module.

Initial, in case you wish simply to disable to pop up login, all you will need to do is disable “Enable Pop-up” below Website Setting > Usability Settings. *This setting is site wide.

If you only wish to disable the only login module pop up, you'll ought to locate this file in
root\admin\Skins\Logo.ascx.cs
Then look for line 119-122 and take away it.

if (PortalSettings.EnablePopUps && PortalSettings.LoginTabId == Null.NullInteger)
{
    loginLink.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return " + UrlUtils.PopUpUrl(loginLink.NavigateUrl, this, PortalSettings, true, false, 300, 650));
}

To modify the pop up window design, all the style definitions are situated in default.css in /portals. folder. Appear for something that has .dnnforms I’ll leave this in an additional subject.

Modifying the Login web page is straightforward, essentially it really is is dependent upon your skin on the web page. If you’re making use of pop up window, I advise you to create a blank skin for the login page to speed up the loading. (As it utilizes iframe to load whole login web page whilst displaying only the login form within the pop up window, maintain the login web page easy to speed it up)

Now the tough element, Login Module. You may want to locate these 2 main files:

root\DesktopModules\AuthenticationServices\DNN\Login.ascx and

root\DesktopModules\AuthenticationServices\DNN\Login.ascx.cs

Whilst you are able to pretty much leave the .cs file alone, the .ascx file is essential for modifying the html structure from the module. The very good factor about DNN 7 login module would be the tableless coding structure where it is possible to play about with the style only using CSS and Jqeury.

The new installation of DNN 7 will not shipped with LiveID and OpenID Authentication any longer. I will leave that portion out for now.

Until next time then, really feel cost-free to ask me if you necessary much more sophisticated guide. I’ll attempt my greatest to help.
