Thanks Susan for your reply. After some more trial and error and reading through Bob Rays website I finally got what bunk58 and you were trying to tell me. I created a new chunk with

Create Account

and then placed this

{{register}}

below this line

Forget Your Password?
{{register}}

in the formlogin template and voila it worked. Seems rather simple after I figured it out. Can’t believe I didn’t see it from the beginning.

Creating your own form tpl isn’t php, it’s just HTML. Take the default login form tpl, copy it to a chunk and name it what you want; myForm for example. Then in the weblogin snippet, put &tpl=`myForm`. Check to make sure it still works exactly as it did. Then you can edit the form as you like, adding a link or button to the registration page.

Here’s the default WebLogin form - it’s just HTML, with some specified HTML elements to act as separators for the various parts; WebLogin knows which part to display. You would add your link to the registration page in the first section, the "login form section".

Thanks for your reply however using the chunk above didn’t work for me. I just don’t understand php at all. I’ve read through the wiki and as many posts as I can for creating chunks/snippets etc but I just don’t seem to be able to figure it out. I’ve been at this for over a week now so I guess I’ll just keep using the example content on the home page and hope everyone can find it.

Normally you use a chunk for the form e.g. [!WebLogin? &tpl=`FormLogin` &loginhomeid=`[(site_start)]`!]
Then just add the registration link to the chunk.

Still no solution for this problem. I guess I must not be asking the right questions. Sorry.

I’m using version 1.0.4 and the snippet weblogin 1.1. I’ve tried adding a new table in the chunk.weblogin.tpl file and the weblogin.inc.php file but that doesn’t seem to work.

Also tried adding this:

Neither one seems to work. Is there another way to do this?

Which version of MODx? What login snippet are you using? This is MODx; there are usually half-a-dozen ways (at least) to do something; we’ll need to know which one you’re using

I’ve been trying to add a register button after the login button and before the "Forget Your Password" text, but cannot seem to make it work. I cannot even find where the login button resides and I’ve been through every image directory I can find. Can anyone shed some light as to how to add the button?
