I have been at this for about 3 days, I see this on other themes

I am trying to place a login form at the top of the page
version 2.0 RC1 (classic theme) when I place this code inside a <td></td>
I get a parse error, any idea whats wrong, am I missing some code?.


// (index.template.php)

// Show a vB style login for quick login?
if ($context['show_quick_login'])
{
echo '
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center" width="95%">
<tr><td nowrap="nowrap" align="right">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="', $settings['default_theme_url'], '/scripts/sha1.js"></script>

<form action="', $scripturl, '?action=login2" method="post" accept-charset="', $context['character_set'], '"', empty($context['disable_login_hashing']) ? ' onsubmit="hashLoginPassword(this, \'' . $context['session_id'] . '\');"' : '', '><br />
<input type="text" name="user" size="7" />
<input type="password" name="passwrd" size="7" />
<select name="cookielength">
<option value="60">', $txt['one_hour'], '</option>
<option value="1440">', $txt['one_day'], '</option>
<option value="10080">', $txt['one_week'], '</option>
<option value="43200">', $txt['one_month'], '</option>
<option value="-1" selected="selected">', $txt['forever'], '</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="', $txt['login'], '" /><br />
', $txt['quick_login_dec'], '
<input type="hidden" name="hash_passwrd" value="" />
</form>
</td></tr>
</table>';
}

// Don't show a login box, just a break.
else
echo '
<br />';

// End of login code

Thanks

Can you tell us exactly the error you are getting?

   
I fixed it, its tricky where you can place it.

If anyone using the 2.0 RC1 classic theme and would like a login box
at the top of page, here is how I did it, in index.template.php



Look for
// Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
template_menu();

echo '
</td>
</tr>';

// Show a random news item? (or you could pick one from news_lines...)



replace with this

// Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
template_menu();

echo '
</td>
</tr>';

// Show a vB style login for quick login? TOP OF PAGE
if ($context['show_quick_login'])
{
echo '
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center" width="95%">
<tr><td nowrap="nowrap" align="right">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="', $settings['default_theme_url'], '/scripts/sha1.js"></script>

<form action="', $scripturl, '?action=login2" method="post" accept-charset="', $context['character_set'], '"', empty($context['disable_login_hashing']) ? ' onsubmit="hashLoginPassword(this, \'' . $context['session_id'] . '\');"' : '', '><br />
<input type="text" name="user" size="7" />
<input type="password" name="passwrd" size="7" />
<select name="cookielength">
<option value="60">', $txt['one_hour'], '</option>
<option value="1440">', $txt['one_day'], '</option>
<option value="10080">', $txt['one_week'], '</option>
<option value="43200">', $txt['one_month'], '</option>
<option value="-1" selected="selected">', $txt['forever'], '</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="', $txt['login'], '" /><br />
', $txt['quick_login_dec'], '
<input type="hidden" name="hash_passwrd" value="" />
</form>
</td></tr>
</table>';
}

// Don't show a login box, just a break.
else
echo '
<br />';
// Show a random news item? (or you could pick one from news_lines...)


Hope that helps someone

You my friend is a genius. This is exactly I wanted.  :) I encourage everyone to post their solution like this rather than saying I fixed it it really helps.
