Hi,

I have been searching for days and still not found an answer to this problem, which seems to be a common one.

I have a members-only site with a simple CB login on the home page. The Joomla login module has been disabled. This works fine most of the time but when the user is timed out, or when she enters an invalid userid/password, a Joomla login form appears on the home page.

See the attached image which illustrates the problem. Usually only the CB login form appears on the right.

I have tried various suggestions, including installation of a login-redirection plugin posted to these forums but nothing has worked.

I have given up all hope of finding a simple solution to this. Can anyone point me to where, in the Joomla code, I can hack out this particular instance where the Joomla login insists on making an appearance.

Both logins appear to be Joomla login;

Nope. The one on the right is from mod_cblogin. The one on the left is from I know not where - mod_login has supposedly been disabled.

You will need a Joomla plugin that will detect this page is present and redirect to CBs login page. There are many such plugins on joomla.org extensions directory that will be more then sufficient at doing the redirect.

Well I tried a couple of these and they didn't work - including a file posted by someone on these forums who had modified one of these plugins to do this specific job.

I have given up with plugins. I am hoping that some kind person with in-depth knowledge can point me to where I can hack this "fallback page login" out of the code.

I appreciate that this isn't a CB problem. It's a Joomla problem which is being commonly experienced by CB users. I hope someone can get to the bottom of it since it's making our home pages look tacky.

BTW.

I went to a site where I am a member, which is produced by a professional company and which uses CB.

If I enter an invalid userid, guess what? Up come two login forms just like at my site.

Then I had another thought. What about joomlapolis.com?

I logged out of here and entered some rubbish as userid. Up came two login forms! OK, one is nicely placed, and formatted differently, at the top of the page but there are still two of them.

Hah!

That login form you see is the Joomla login form presented when restricted access is requested by someone not logged in. There are plugins available from the Joomla extentions site to redirect to the CB login form. Dont want to see the two forms? Ensure the CB Module is not published to that page.

Other options were recently disussed here

That wouldn't work because, under normal conditions, there would then be NO login form on the home page! Normally there is just one login form - the CB Login.

The additional Joomla login form only pops up under exceptional circumstances, like an invalid userid or a timeout.

I tried the hack mentioned in the post you pointed me to but that little bugger still kept popping up.

Can anyone point me to where, in the base Joomla code, this additional instance of the Login Form is generated?
