Drupal 7 - create own login form

Question

Is it possible to create own login form? I need to insert it into my basic page. It is campaign for my client and he wants to be able login from specific basic page. I have tried to use block from classic login, but without success. But it still has many things around (like remember me etc..), and I need only basic username/password

thanks for any help

Answer 1

You should be able to just retrieve the form and print it on your node template. In your theme's template.php (a custom module would work too):

function MYTHEME_preprocess_node(&$variables) {
    if ($variables['view_mode'] == 'full' && $variables['nid'] == 9 && user_is_anonymous()) {
        $variables['login_form'] = drupal_get_form('user_login');
    }
}

And then in either your theme's node.tpl.php or a specific node template if you're using one:

<?php if (isset($login_form)): ?>
  <?php print render($login_form); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

This will just print the same form you'd find at /user/login wherever you want it. Just make sure to replace the 9 with your node's nid.

Or, if you're looking for a way to do it without writing code, consider the Login Toboggan module.
