Solution for login page templating

[Jimmi08]

This is a working solution for long-term issue for the login page - standalone page or not.

This problem was reported here:
#1466
and fixed with possibility to override this in theme.php

This is not supported in newest themes because changes in THEME_LAYOUT and e_PAGE.

There is the newer feature request for this from 2023 without no reaction
#5076

So I have no idea if this is planned or not.

This is a working solution for me:

New key in login template:

$LOGIN_TEMPLATE['page']['noiframe'] = true;

Simple test in login.php

//if(!defined('e_IFRAME')) define('e_IFRAME',true);

$LOGIN_TEMPLATE = e107::getCoreTemplate('login');

if (isset($LOGIN_TEMPLATE['page']['noiframe']) && $LOGIN_TEMPLATE['page']['noiframe'] === true)
{
	if (!defined('e_IFRAME')) define('e_IFRAME', false);
}
else
{
	if (!defined('e_IFRAME')) define('e_IFRAME', true);
}

Without this key, it works like before, with this key, your theme decides what is look of login page.

For all those years I have never got an answer why this change was implemented to new version.

@Jimmi08 well not sure if mine is an answer.... login was always (afaik) menu based (eg area based).
Already in 2005. Not sure if it resulted in a page like (iframe or alike) templating, It all look like it points into that direction, to be able to use it as a standalone page. My 2 cents...
