I would like the user login block to be standard on the front page, but a link on all other pages. The best way I can think of doing this is having two blocks and restrict them through the block setting.
Is there another way to do this? I have considered fancy login since that gives another login block, but I was curious if it's possible to clone the core login block. Thanks for reading.
You can't have the option assign a block to different region.But you can use the Multiblock
it will allowing you to create multiple Block Instances of already existing blocks.
If you want customize the login block with your own design, then this link will help you.
You could also just restrict the standard login block to the front page and create a block with a simple link to user in it and have that placed everywhere else, eg:
return l('Click here to login','user');
or
<div id="my-non-front-page-login">
<a href="/user">Click here to login</a>
</div>
inserted either from a module's hook_block() (first way) or from the Block Admin Page's create block (second way)
