Removing the username & password field, leaving only SSO?

Hi,

seeing as I have my forum embedded in a WordPress blog which already has a user database, I'd like to leave only the SSO sign-in option available and remove the regular username and password part of the login form. How should I go about this?

Thanks!

    I'd just use css in your custom theme. Firebug is your friend.

    If they have to be logged in using your wp, why not do a redirect to wp login , if they are not logged into forums. Then hide vanilla login etc

    Thanks for your reply, that's pretty much what I'd like to know how to do, how to 'hide vanilla login etc'. Please care to elaborate.

    Modify methods to be somewhat like MainForm, in the /applications/dashboard/design style.css file:
    .Methods {
    width: 170px;
    height: 120px;
    padding-left: 20px;
    padding-right: 20px;
    }

    In signin.php (/applications/dashboard/views/entry), remove the entry and multiple/single entry methods class from their div:
    echo '

    <

    div>';
    //replaces echo '

    <

    div class="Entry'.$CssClass.'">';

    Don't render the main sign-in form, comment it out, same file:
    // Render the main signin form.
    /*
    echo '

    '; include $this->FetchViewLocation('passwordform'); echo $this->Data('MainForm'); echo '

    ';
    */

    Code tags don't seem to be working, here's my post in plain text: pastie.org/private/lctfitmsldlrc0kqeqt2a .
