Build a Top Sliding Login Panel

This trick comes from Blog-Oh-Blog. You can create a login panel with simple jQuery and Html. We will edit header.php and style.css. Let’s begin…

Firstly, make a backup of header.php and style.css. After that you can add this codes.

In header.php;

Before </head> tag;

Add this javascript code to your header.php before </head> tag.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".btn-slide").click(function(){
$("#slide-panel").slideToggle("slow");
});
});
</script>

After <body> tag;

Add this HTML code after <body> tag where you want.

<div id="slide-panel"><!--SLIDE PANEL STARTS-->
<?php if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ){ ?>
<h2>Login</h2>
<div class="loginform">
<div class="formdetails">
<form action="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-login.php" method="post">
<label for="log">Username : </label><input type="text" name="log" id="log" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars(stripslashes($user_login), 1) ?>" size="20" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<label for="pwd">Password : </label><input type="password" name="pwd" id="pwd" size="20" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" class="button" />
<label for="rememberme"><input name="rememberme" id="rememberme" type="checkbox" checked="checked" value="forever" /> Remember me</label><input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>" />
</form>
</div>
<div class="loginregister">
<a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-register.php">Register</a> |
<a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword">Recover password</a>
</div>
</div><!--loginform ends-->
<?php } else { ?>
<div class="loginform">
<h2>Control Panel</h2><ul>
<li><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-admin/">Dashboard</a></li> |
<li><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-admin/post-new.php">Write new Post</a></li> |
<li><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-admin/page-new.php">Write new Page</a></li> |
<li><a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url( get_bloginfo('url') ); ?>" title="Logout">Logout</a></li></ul>
</div><!--loginform ends-->
<?php }?>
</div><!--SLIDE PANEL ENDS-->
<div class="slide"><a href="#" class="btn-slide"><?php if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ){ ?>Login<?php } else { ?>Logout<?php }?></a></div><!--LOGIN BUTTON TEXT-->

Save and send your header.php to your server.

And Style…

Open your style.css and add this lines to end of file.

* {margin:0; padding:0; outline:0;}
#slide-panel{ background-color:#000;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:2px;display:none;height:100px;margin:auto;}
.slide {width:950px; margin:auto;}
.btn-slide:link, .btn-slide:visited{color:#fff; float:right; display:block;font-size:14px; text-transform:uppercase; font-weight:bold;height:26px; padding:3px 0 3px 0;line-height:22px;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100px; background-color:#000; font-family:Arial;}
.loginform {width:950px; margin:auto; color:#999; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}
.formdetails {color:#FFF; font-size:12px;padding:5px;}
.formdetails input{border:none; padding:2px 5px 2px 5px; background-color:#EFEFEF;}
.loginregister {color:#999; padding:5px;}
.loginregister a:link, .loginregister a:visited {color:#FFF; font-size:11px; text-decoration:underline;}
.loginform h2 {padding:10px 10px 10px 0; font-size:18px; font-weight:normal; text-transform:uppercase;}
.loginform ul li {display:inline;}
.loginform ul li a:link, .loginform ul li a:visited {color:#FFF; font-size:12px; text-decoration:underline;}

That’s All. Look at DEMO! and the original post!

Have a nice day!

    I’m greatly honored that you took time out to create this hack but there seems to be a mistake. My comment was refering to this post hiding more than two single posts from the search engines. http://www.wpfunc.com/wordpress/how-to-hide-your-single-post-from-search-engines.html

    Somehow my comment ended up on the wrong post :-(
