Customizing the user login page is very simple, and uses the following concepts:
Use preprocess to set variables
register you template file in hook_theme
create templates and render your variables
Step 1:
/**
* Implements hook_theme().
*/
function hook_theme() {
$items = array();
$items['user_login'] = array(
'render element' => 'form',
'path' => PATH . '/templates',
'template' => 'user-login',
'preprocess functions' => array(
'hook_preprocess_user_login'
),
);
return $items;
}
Step 2:
function hook_preprocess_user_login(&$variables) {
$variables['render_text'] = 'You can add extra text and message';
}
Step 3:
Create you template file in your template folder
user-login.tpl.php
<div class="login-wrapper">
<h2><?php print t('SIGN IN'); ?></h2>
<?php
// split the username and password from the submit button so we can put in links above
print drupal_render($form['name']);
print drupal_render($form['pass']);
?>
<div class="login-links">
<?php print l(t('FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD?'), 'user/password', array('attributes' => array('class' => 'login-link'))); ?>
</div>
<?php
print drupal_render($form['form_build_id']);
print drupal_render($form['form_id']);
print drupal_render($form['actions']);
?>
</div><!--//login-wrapper-->
Step 4:
Clear drupal cache
