Remove the WEC Login box from Site

The WEC Starter Pkg comes with a built-in login box visible on each page. To remove this login box, follow the steps in this how-to.

  1. Once logged into the TYPO3 Administration area (backend) access the template, by using the "Template tools" located under the Web section of the backend. Left click on TEMPLATE to continue.
  2. In the default install for the WEC package, the template is usually located on the first page of your site. For example, this site has the "First United Methodist Church" page as a shortcut. This also is the location of our Template. Click on this "top-level" page.
  3. This now opens the "Template tools" section of your website. For us to continue, we need to access the Info/Modify area. Use the drop down in the top-right corner, and left click "Info/Modify"
  4. This opens the tool to modify our template. Click the link "Click here to edit whole template record" to continue.
  5. We want to remove the reference to the login in the template. By using the template tool, we can find the code for the login and remove it. Scroll down to the "Setup" field.
  6. Scroll through the text in the "Setup" field until you see "#Login Box"
    This is the text that places the default login into our template.
  7. add the # symbol in front of each login entry of text, as shown below. The # symbol acts as if erasing the text without fully removing it...i.e: we have "commented" out the entry, which makes the login box disappear.
    We can come back and remove the # symbol if we ever wish to use the default login box again in the future.
  8. Save and close the document.
  9. You may need to click the "Clear FE Cache" link in the bottom left corner of your admin area to see the changes on the front of your website.
