Hi,
put this link in to your pagelayout

<a href={'user/login'|ezurl()}>login</a>

on click you will see the login page.
i think this would help you

good luck

Hi,
enabled the debug and came back to us , and tell us what says the debug.

to active the debug put this code in your site.ini.append.php (of your siteaccess)

[TemplateSettings]
TemplateCache=enabled
TemplateCompile=enabled
TemplateOptimization=enabled
Debug=enabled
ShowXHTMLCode=disabled
ShowUsedTemplates=enabled

[DebugSettings]
DebugOutput=enabled
