Hello!
Is there a way i could edit some stuff of the log-in page (admin/admin.php) ?
For example, i want to add some info/images in the header/footer.
I tried through templates-editor but i found nothing there.

Hi,
you have to change or add some outputs directly into the related php files
admin/admin.php (admin pages)
admin/login_check.php (login page)
(remember that those changes could be removed by updates)

If you only want to change the login page, its maybe easier trying to create your own custom login page (yourinstal/newloginpage/)

You can embed the original login form even in any basic html page...

Code:

<form name='loginform' id='loginform' method='post' action='https://yourinstal/admin/admin.php' >
<table >
<tr>
<td >User</td>
<td><input class="text" name='user' id='user' type='text' size='15'  /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td >Password</td>
<td><input class="text" name='password' id='password' type='password' size='15' /></td>
</tr>
<!-- languages choice -->
</form>

Thanks benitov.
I don't know much of the web stuff, but i tried your solution with no success.

According to your code, it is supposed to pass the values of ids 'user' and 'password' to the respective ids in admin.php, right?

Maybe the development team should consider add a mechanism similar to template-editor for the admin/user pages (back-end environment).

Thanks again Ben!

Your code works.
In case a user gives wrong username and/or password, i get the default (limesurvey's) fail-to-log-in page. I know it is supposed to but i would like it to redirect to my fail-to-log-in page (i think the only way is to edit the admin.php).

Ben's idea is a good solution for my question but the dev team should consider making a mechanism.

Yes you're right
I personnaly prefer not to change LS default behaviour just for design changes...so I don't have solution for this redirect....
The only thing i know that you can edit is in admin/login_check.php file
to redirect the user to the homepage if he try to connect to the original admin page
(backup your original file and search where to replace the related lines)

Code:

if (!isset($logoutsummary))
        {
                    // redirect to home page
            $loginsummary = "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0;url=$rooturl/'> 
            <form style='display:none' name='loginform' id='loginform' method='post' action='$homeurl/admin.php'><p><strong>".$clang->gT("You have to login first.")."</strong><br />  <br />";
        }

Such modifications are hard to make if you don't know PHP, HTML, CSS...

Another approach, depending on the extend of your changes, is to just edit the CSS of the admin backend at /limesurvey/admin/styles/default/adminstyle.css

Does this work in Limesurvey 4.2?

LS Version 4.2+

Most probably not. This thread is 7 (in words SEVEN) years old and 2.06 and 2.6x seem to have been the versions back then. There have been a lot of chances to LS since.

Help us to help you!

Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

Now that LS has been updated since this was first answered, where can one change the HTML/CSS for admin login page?

Put your custom css file in

Code:

/themes/admin/YourAdminTheme/css/yourfile.css

.
Open

Code:

/themes/admin/YourAdminTheme/config.xml

add

Code:

<filename>yourfile.css</filename>

inside the tag

Code:

<css></css>

in the first half of the file, right under

Code:

<filename>statistics.css</filename>

.
Put your images (logo, etc...) and overwrite original files in

Code:

/themes/admin/YourAdminTheme/images

I guess these files will be lost on updates.
Make a backup of that folder

Code:

/themes/admin/YourAdminTheme

.
HTML of the front page is located in

Code:

/themes/survey/YourDefaultTheme/views/layout_survey_list.twig

for other parts, like header, footer and so on check also the folder

Code:

/subviews/

Customize front page using

Code:

/themes/survey/YourDefaultTheme/css/custom.css

Images on the front page are located in

Code:

/themes/survey/YourDefaultTheme/files/

The path of HTML code for the login page is

Code:

/application/views/admin/authentication/login.php

.
You can put some additional css at the top of the file, eg. for the background of the login only using a tag

Code:

<style></style>

Again, all this wil be lost on update. Backup.

NOTE* take a look at the Theme editor in the backend, under the Configuration menu. There you can use the Extend button to create your own theme starting from existing one, without modify original files. Up to you.

Modifying core admin themes or core files is NOT recommended.

Refer to the manual - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Custom_Admin_Themes
