| |
| | |
| If you enter a URL here, it will be used as the login page for this site. The page should contain a form which has the action property set to 'http://localhost/login/index.php' and return fields username and password. Be careful not to enter an incorrect URL as you may lock yourself out of this site. Leave this setting blank to use the default login page.

| | |
| ===Instructions===
