Hopefully this is an easy one! I’m trying to discover how I can control where the login template will appear when using a restricted page (a page that that requires a user to have permission to view it). My login template is working and appears on the page however it is in the first content area on the page instead of the one I need it to be in.  Is it possible to control where the login template appears?

You can use the DwLoginBox tag to render the login box in a specific location (see http://templates.dynamicweb-cms.com/TemplateTags/Dynamicweb-template-tags/Page-tags/Page/DwLoginBox.aspx). However, the login box is also rendered in the default content placeholder and therefore you have to hide this if a user is not logged in:

@if (GetGlobalValue("Global:Page.IsProtected") == "true" && Pageview.User.UserID == 0) {
  @GetValue("DwLoginBox")
}
…
@if (GetGlobalValue("Global:Page.IsProtected") != "true" || Pageview.User.UserID > 0) {
  <div class="dwcontent" id="content"></div>
}

Best regards,
Mikkel

Thanks Mikkel, I didn't know about DwLoginBox. After doing a bit of searching about it I've found another way is to set the settings of the dwcontent area that you want to show the login template in to default eg settings="default:true"

Nice find. The default:true setting is a better way to do it.
