"TIP N2.0" Customize your sign in page with css

[George H. Compton IV]

customize your Sign in background,  create a sign-in button and change your Fonts and font colors.

if you want to customize the sign-up page as well the codes for that is in the Sixth comment down in this discussion. And for the sign up page some networks will need this fix.

.xg_theme #xg_themebody #xg.account {
    padding-top: 30px!important;
    padding-bottom: 580px!important;}

The background codes will auto adjust the size for different screen resolutions.

there are differences in Ning networks so if the code does not work on your network just let me know and I'll write the code for your network.  :-)

Place these codes in your design studio advanced CSS

backgrounds

Change the image url to the one you want to use

.xg_theme #xg_themebody DIV#xg.account.external-auth.xg_widget_main.xg_widget_main_authorization.xg_widget_main_authorization_signIn {
padding-top: 4.5%!important;
padding-bottom: 42% ;}
DIV#xg.account.external-auth.xg_widget_main.xg_widget_main_authorization.xg_widget_main_authorization_signIn{
background-image: url(https://api.ning.com/files/YQhkdgMgba6MbiAIQb*aHCIyH8niRlDHcqT9RoThi3QXlXlC-cNbP*PZJ8GUUIxf9JykGCKTEkVdxxEhGoOuthm*PYOry6C3/Tran.jpg)!important;
background-attachment:
fixed; background-size:100% 100%; }

If you want the module to have the same background add this code with the same url as the code above.

DIV.xg_module.xg_lightborder.signin-module FORM.xg_module_body.xg_lightborder {
background-image: url(https://api.ning.com/files/YQhkdgMgba6MbiAIQb*aHCIyH8niRlDHcqT9RoThi3QXlXlC-cNbP*PZJ8GUUIxf9JykGCKTEkVdxxEhGoOuthm*PYOry6C3/Tran.jpg)!important;
 background-attachment: fixed;
 background-size:100% 100%; }

You can also add a different image for the module just replace the image link in this code

DIV.xg_module.xg_lightborder.signin-module FORM.xg_module_body.xg_lightborder {
background-image: url(http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/tt55/geocom69/mariacolorf.jpg)!important;
 background-size:100% 100%; }

You can move the module left or right  with this piece of code Just add the code to the very bottom of the background code.  It looks like this ( padding-right:40%!important; ) Just change the word right to left if you want it on the Left side.  The percentage will change how far over it moves I recommend not going above 40% Because people with small laptops may have it run off their page.  40% is a perfect for screen resolutions ranging from 800x600 through 1600 by 1024.  To move it up and down just use the top line of this code  ( padding-top: 4.5%!important; ) I recommend not changing it to less than 1% on some networks a white bar or different color bar will show up at the top of your screen.  and of course you can change the percentage of the bottom line to pixels  if you prefer using pixels ( padding-right:1px!important; )

after applying the changes I recommend checking it out in  different screen resolutions on your computer.

if you have any problems just let me know.

Sign-in button

this code will create a background image for the sign in button Just replace the image link with the one you prefer.

Sign-in
DIV.xg_module.xg_lightborder.signin-module FORM.xg_module_body.xg_lightborder  INPUT.button{
 background-image: url( http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/tt55/geocom69/ALevyne888-1.gif )!important;
  background-size:100% 100%; }

or would you prefer to have your sign in button with rounded corners.  You can change the dimension of the button just changing these numbers on all three lines  21px 21px 21px 21px; all three lines should look exactly the same

Sign-in

DIV.xg_module.xg_lightborder.signin-module FORM.xg_module_body.xg_lightborder INPUT.button {
   border: 1px solid #aaa!important;
   border-radius:21px 21px 21px 21px;
   -moz-border-radius:21px 21px 21px 21px;
   -webkit-border-radius:21px 21px 21px 21px;}

and if you'd like the rounded borders with a shadow effect use this code.  Like I said you if want to change the dimension of the button change the numbers in all three lines that look like this 21px 60px 8px 45px;  all three lines should look exactly the same
 

Sign-in

DIV.xg_module.xg_lightborder.signin-module FORM.xg_module_body.xg_lightborder INPUT.button {
   border: 1px solid #aaa!important;
   border-radius:21px 60px 8px 45px;
   -moz-border-radius:21px 60px 8px 45px;
   -webkit-border-radius:21px 60px 8px 45px;
   -webkit-box-shadow:0px 0px 10px #ccc;
   -moz-box-shadow:6px 6px 10px #ccc;
   box-shadow:6px 6px 10px #ccc;
   -ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=4, Direction=135, Color='#000000')";
   filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=4,Direction=135,Color='#000000');
   clear: both;
   position: relative;
   word-wrap: break-word;
   padding:8px;}

    this is the name of the font you will be replacing  ( Helvetica Neue ) and the color ( black )

wow, you rock! thanks ;)

[Mandy]

would you also by any chance know how to hide the members and member count from the invite emails? and hide the members completely from the site?

[George H. Compton IV]

for the e-mails I don't think it's possible to remove them sorry :-( can you explain a little more on what you want for hiding the members completely from the site?

[Mandy]

I would like to hide the view "all member" links from everywhere on the site.

I've hidden then from homepage; managed to hide the "see all" under

profiles--> friends

but this actually didn't help b/c it also hid the "view all" under everything, for i.e. "view all" (blog posts, videos, pics, etc.)

**

here's the code I have:

.xg_widget_profiles_friend .xg_headline .count {display:none !important;}

.xg_widget_profiles_members .xg_headline .count {display:none !important;}

.xg_module.movable.sortable.module_members .xg_module_foot .right {display:none;}

I also have this in the css; I know this is what is taking away "view all" from everything; I just would like it removed from the profile pages, so members won't be able to view all friends:

.xg_module_foot {display:none !important;}

 

 "member count" "view all members" etc. is everything I would like to hide;

thanks in advance

[George H. Compton IV]

Remove this code you don't want to use that lol .xg_module_foot {display:none !important;}

These two codes should do the trick :)

this code will remove those view all from your friends list on profiles & the members modules
.xg_module.module_members DIV.xg_module_foot UL LI.right A{display:none !important;}

members count on for all members page
DIV#xg.xj_list_container.xg_widget_profiles.xg_widget_profiles_members.xg_widget_profiles_members_index DIV.xg_headline SPAN.count{
    display:none !important;}

Hello Mateo..

I'm sorry it's not working for you. I originally wrote this tip for Ning 2.0. If you're on a 2.0 network send me a link and I'll figure out the problem. :-)

Now if you using a 3.0 network and you want me to gather the codes to do the same for 3.0 just let me know, I'll be more than happy to help. :-)
