On slashdot.org, digg.com, and many other sites you have a login form that pops up on the page when clicking the 'login' link. This way you can login without leaving the page.
- on slashdot.org it pops up below the main navi, shifting the rest of the page down
- on digg.com it replaces the search bar (no shifting) and can be hidden by clicking again on 'login'.
Questions:
- where on the bewelcome pages would be the place to let the login form pop up?
- how to hide the form, if you change your mind?
- extra links for 'I lost my password' etc.
- avoid aesthetic conflict with the quicksearch box.
To do:
- discuss?
- make some drafts (html+javascript)
- compare / evaluate
- implement in php on test.bw. (then the 'component' can be changed from 'layout' to 'general')
