    Hi there

    I have HTML+CSS website, where amember is installed.

    I asked my devlopers to "configure" the amember forms such as sign up, login, member.php etc on my website theme. However they have refused to do that, saying that it will require "modifcation/alerternation" in amember code.

    I can't simply accept this argument of "tinkering" with amember, because I had full faith in amember, and informed that we can customsie look and feel of the amember forms, suitable to my website, using headers and footers etc

    At last my devleopers are now agree to copy and paste my website template's headers and footers on various "amember forms", so that the visitor will not be routed out (of the website) to amember folders, to complete these various forms, which are basically clean - in white background.

    Now they are syaing that, even if they copy the headers from my website to "amember forms", they can't copy the "header menus" to the amember form.
    See the attached file-header. Here you can see, home|About|Services| ...Contact| tabs/menus on the website header.

    Now see the file- header+amember form. The developers are arguging that, while on amember forms, if the user clicks on any of these "header manus", then the site will not funtion properly.

    Is it so? I have to just copy header/footer to the amember forms, but no 'outclicks" from these header/footer menu's.

    If given a choice, then I have more faith on 'amember' than my developers.

    But somehow the things are not working.

    Is anybody here will guide me?

    Thanks

    I can assure you that you can customise aMember forms to fit in with you own web site design in the same way a I have.

    For example- http://www.themanualslibrary.co.uk/amember/signup.php

    Basically I changed the aMember css from, I think vedit & hedit, to my own and defined those in my own site css file.

    But there is certainly no reason for the aMember form to look like it does in your second thumbnail, an addon!!

    Hey thanks buddy for reply.

    But why my second thumbnail will require addon? I am confused.

    I am not an IT person.
    Will you please take some pain to explain me.

    Thanks

    Sorry bad choice of words from me. What I was trying to say that without customising the css associated with the aMember login screen it just looks as if it doesn't belong there as you have lost the left hand side of the centre section of the screen.

    Rather than use the aMember signup.html template I designed complete html page that includes the header and footer files together with the form and other details I wanted on page. The table css atributes were changed and defined in my site css style sheet rather than the aMember one.

    This page was then called signup.html and is what is called rather than the original template file.
