I have a theme which is overriding the default Joomla login which works fine in the header (click for popup login box) but I would like the default Joomla login in the right hand sidebar on certain pages. What do I need to do to be able to have both styles of login?

Give your override a custom name, e.g. popup.php. Edit the module and in Advanced tab select the custom layout in Layout field.

Just trying to understand the steps with this one. In my theme folder I have the Mod_login folder which is where the theme developer has placed their overide. I added another folder taking the default joomla mod_login folder and copying it here and calling mod_standard_login. The files in the folder are all default. I can't see how to select this new module in the advance tab. Should I instead have a new php file in the same mod_login as an alternative to mod_login.php, e.g mod_standard_login.php?

Yes, all overrides must be placed in the same
mod_loginfolder. If the template already hasdefault.phpoverride, create your own override with a different name, e.g.sidebar.php.– SharkyMay 6, 2019 at 8:41 -
Thanks for the quick response! Well in the mod_login folder there isn't a default.php but there is the mod_login.php. I duplicated the standard joomla mod_login.php file and copied it here and renamed as mod_standard_login.php. In the module in the admin system, going to advanced/ layouts I still only see 'from module' and default as the options. I wonder if I'm missing a step. May 6, 2019 at 9:01

Sorry, in my testing, I deleted the default.php. Added back in now after I realised I broke the login module! Still, i have the alternative layout files in there too now but still don't see an alternative layout. May 6, 2019 at 9:15

Renaming my default joomla file to just standard instead of having the _ in the filename fixed it! Thank you so much :))))) May 6, 2019 at 9:19
