Thanks Aaron. with a few additional tweaks, got it to work. Unfortunately, twitter connect doesn't work with it.

Thanks again for all!

Kwanza Jones asked a question in SocialGO on October 29, 2009 16:39:

How can I create a login box/link on a separate static homepage?

I understand the login box is on the left hand column at all times. Hence, no separate login page (just a separate sign up page). BUT.... I'd love some suggestions on how to create a login page outside of the socialgo framework.

Here's the deal... I am using socialgo for the backend/social networking aspects of my site. I already had an existing site. Accordingly, I want to use my existing home page and put a sidebar login that enables visitors to login from my home page.

You can see what i'm talking about here:

thanks, in advance, for your help.

@ Ryan,
Thanks for the info. It seems this should work. I was hoping there was a way to handle this via the layout manager. But, if css does it then i'll go back to tweaking my css.

Thank you for you.

bye for now,

A comment on the question "Need to turn Main Menu items into Sub Menu items." in SocialGO:

@ William,
Thanks for the video link. I had previously reviewed it prior to making a switch from Ning.

I understand about the 404 error. I had tried disabling the "group" and "forum" page, in order for it not be seen on the menu. That appears to be what's causing the 404 error. I also tried sandboxing but that's not quite what I need. I don't want to hide the page from my members, I only want it to be an active page that is accessible thru the sub-menu, not a main menu.

You can check the site at: http://kwanzajones.socialgo.com I'll be doing the http://kwanzajones.com branded site after I work out all the kinks. It is still currently branded with ning. Didn't want to officially switch until i got this one all worked out.

Thanks for your input.

bye for now,

Need to turn Main Menu items into Sub Menu items.

Here's the deal. Been working and tweaking the site. All going pretty well. I attempted to take Groups & Forums off the main navigation tab (i.e. I disabled those pages). Then I created a new page called Community and put Groups and Forums as sub-menu items under there.

It seemed to work fine (i thought). Everything was cool with Firefox but when i checked the site on Safari, it gave me a 404 page error (when i accessed the now "sub-menu" items "groups" or "forums").

Please help: the easier way to ask the question is:

Is there a way to make a page not visible as main menu item (like groups) without disabling the page?

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions...

all appreciated.
