Constraining tank_auth views to a div on a web age - codeigniter

Question

Hi Tank_auth & web Gurus!
I have tank_auth working with my CodeIgniter application. Currently, the login/register views of tank_auth take over the entire screen. On my website, I would like the login/register views to occupy a div that I define. For example, I want the login/pw fields to just appear in the top right corner and not take over the whole screen...Can you point me in the right direction? - I read somewhere that I'd have to somehow constrain the view in a div but for the life of me I did not understand how!
Much obliged,
Mmiz

Answer 1

Create div for the login. Create a view for the login. Populate the div with a javascript call to the view.
<?php
//controller
//users.php
class Users {
//...
public function div_login()
{
$this->load->view('div_login_view.php');
}
//...
//------------------------------------------
//view
//div_login_view.php
echo form_open('users/login');
echo form_input('username');
echo form_password('password');
echo form_submit('Login');
echo form_close();
//------------------------------------------
//index page (or whatever page you want the form on)
<div id="login_div"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var login_form = $.get('/users/div_login');
if (login_form.status === 200){
$('#login_div').html(login_form.responseText)
}else{
alert('There was an error getting the login form.');
}
})
</script>
