YOOlogin Module

With the YOOlogin module you get a enhanced version of the default Joomla! login module. It comes with different stylings and enables you to use icon buttons instead of the default "Lost password" link. The YOOlogin module integrates well in our professional YOOtheme templates or any other template. Also we have integrated some additional features. Check out the module parameters in your Joomla! backend. All styles are working out of the box.

Exclusive YOOtools features:
* Very fast loading using gzip for JS and CSS files

And of course:
* Sliced Image Sources available (Fireworks CS3)
* Tableless CSS design and XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS 2.0 valid
* Compatible with any browser (Firefox, IE6, IE7, Safari, Opera, Camino)

Can be downloaded by anybody in the YOOtools Free Stuff Section!

Report

I'd so love this to function correctly, but I have been struggling with what appears to be a common problem with this module (according to the forums), in that I and my users sometimes get an 'Invalid Token' message. whilst it's not the end of the world (click back and it's okay), it's not very professional.

There does not seem to be a facility for support and there are no truely documented fixes for this.
it does appear to be linked to the remember me function of the module.

If this issue was resolved great, 5 stars!, but sadly though it causes issues. hopefully a conclusive fix will be found for the next release.
I think this is a fantastic improvement to the standard joomla login. The fact it alows the login to be positioned horizontally was essential for my site design.

That said, there seems to be 1 small problem and i am seeing if anyone else who has this installed can see if it happens to them. I have noticed that when a user who is registered but not yet activated tries to login, the Login Denied! error message displays twice. Then when the user navigates away the message will stay on subsequent pages.

I have tested this on two separate sites and I get the same error. If I switch back to the Joomla! standard login form there is no problem.

I would stress to people not to let this small issue deter you, but i am hoping to find a solution.

In all, the first time took me about 10 minutes to install and get up and running, on the second site it took me about a minute. Very easy setup!

Thanks,

Paul

Hi,
I loved that module because it is really good looking. But the drawback is that the images and css files related to it makes the loading heavier and longer.
So i'm going to change.

"I prefer this one instead of the one from community builder.

It doesn't support Community Builder but this is easy to correct.

Therefore change the default.php and quick.php files in the tmpl folder with the code beneath. (I prefer only to change the link for a new registration and not the lost password and username links)


old code:
'index.php?option=com_user&task=register'

new code:
'index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=registers'"

thank you a lot sir, you saved me a lot of time

thanks again

When did some research and read on it i wasn't so sure that this is what I needed, but I downloaded it and it worked like a charm. Its rally easy and very fast. It might not have a lot bells and whisltes but it does the job and works wonderfully. I also was ble to integrat into my website with no problems. I didnt have to deal with any issues of pictures and what not.....It truely is the first tool I came accross that was free and was amazingly useful
I'm running a JomSocial site and was looking for a different login I could have at the top of all my pages and this module was exactly what I was looking for and works great.

Thank You for creating this awesome, very configurable module. I really don't see how it could get any better.

Did I mention it was awesome? THANK YOU!
I really like this login form is very neat.

For those struggling to work out how to set it to black, you need to add yootools-black to the class tag of your template. eg
(thanks RitchieTheBrit)

Apart from spending some 30 mins working that out, I really like it. I like they also give you all the images you need to style it.

It loses a star because as-is, it is missing images for the login/logout button for the nifty quick style. You have to make your own. I expect with their own themes you won't have this problem.
This is a wonderful login module, but in IE6 & 7, it can't work correctly, especially the (quick) module.

Please go and check it out. Hope you can set up a support forum in your website too.

Excellent module!

Feature request: "Encrypt Login Form" option like in default login form.

the best login module I found. Good looking and different styles available.
The module worked fine on my local test server but on installing it on my siteground site, I noticed right away that it's css was being ignored. This is because of the file mod_yoo_login.css.php. I changed the name to mod_yoo_login-css.php and updated the references in mod_yoo_login.php and mod_yoo_login.xml and it works beautifully.
After trying to install various other horizontal login modules I came across this and was amazed that it worked without any modification. Try this first. It looks good, is compact, and so quick to use. Fantastic module.
I have been fighting with mods and coms and plugins for weeks now trying to get my site up to 1.5.3, and I was about to give up and just stay with the standard mod_login until I came across this module. After reading the former reviews I fearfully downloaded the YOOlogin module and installed it--and am I glad I did! What a great little tool! Works straight out of the box, provides FAST logins/logouts and never misses a beat--no more "your session has timed out", no misdirection on the login/logout URL, and it works on ALL browsers. For a grey-headed volunteer Joomla noob on a charitable site, you can't KNOW how much this and the A+ support has helped. Thank you!!
I subscribed to YooTools and have had nothing but trouble with getting their mods to work in anything other than their templates... so I wasn't looking forward to trying this guys out either.

However, I installed him, set the params and immediately he worked.

This is a beautiful login mod that takes up little space, is formatted nicely and gives all the necessary details.
Couldn't be easier to set up.

Support is first class. As well as forums, they also provide video tutorials and very comprehensive FAQ's.

Best support I've seen for Joomla.

Very nice-looking login module. The module is easy to setup and use, and you can customize the apperence via the applied sourcefile( in fireworks).

The login module does not support Community builder, but hopefully the Yootheme guys will implement that feature in a future release..
Another great extension from the YooTheme's crew.

It doesn't really do anything new, instead just makes the default J! login form visually much nicer.

Downside?
You do need to purchase membership to a Template club to get this extension, however this does give you full access to all templates, other extensions and support forum.
