Add log in module, help for a newbie
Hi, thanks for all the resources here.
I am completely new to this and bumbling around getting frustrated with things that are probably really simple!
I have uploaded the program (ver 17.1), set up some configurations/ settings, no problems there. But I am now trying to create the pages. I am finding that the official documentation, the Smarties series, and the forum assume things that I don't know. So I'm asking for realllly basic info. For example, to put a log in section on the welcome page:
1) Themes- I understand that not all modules work with all themes. I am using TheNews. Does the log in module work with this theme or do I need to change it?
2) Configurations- What configurations do I need to have set to have the log in module available? I have gone to Settings, Log In, and checked "users can register"., and configured a few other things. Are there other settings in this section that need to be checked (or un-checked) for the Log In Module to be available? Are there settings in another section that need to be checked or un-checked for the Log In Module to be available? Or am I good to go as far as configurations to make this module available?
3) Moving the module to the Home Page- Once the module is available, how do I get it on the page where I want it? From the Home Page, I know how to put a section in "edit" mode. I can go to the Admin Settings, click on the Modules, and under the "list all modules" tab I can see the Log In Module listed. But how the heck do I get the module on the Home Page?
Thank you!!
