I found the string of text defined in 'logintitle' in admin/land/en_US/admin.inc.php. The line looks like this:

$lang['admin']['logintitle'] = 'CMS Made Simple Admin Login'; // needs translation

I used a text editor to change the text 'CMS Made Simple Admin Login' to what I wanted and then FTPed the edit file to my web server.

Hope this helps. For all I know, there is probably an easier and more appropriate way to do this. I'm a relative newbie to CMSMS but have found it to be very learnable. It just takes some time. Take a look at www.morganhouse.us. It took me the better part of a day to install and design and then Morgan used the admin panel to add his content. As you can tell, I just copied and modified the default CMSMS template. But Morgan is happy with it.

I too am looking for the best way to customize the admin page for clients.

Also on line 60 you can change the wording at the top of the admin area...

That's in the footer and the default install has it in the Global Content Blocks...

Look at line 51 in /your-installation-dir/admin/themes/default/login.php to edit the footer text of the admin panel login page.

My assumption is that if you wanted to create an entirely new admin theme you could copy the default theme folder and all its contents to a folder with a new name and start modifying the css/style.css, the new-theme/login.php, and anything else you wanted too. My intent was simply give the client a warm fuzzy feeling from logging into his website admin system.

With that said, I would like to express my gratitude to all the folks who have developed CMSMadeSimple to the level it is and make it available to the web community. I hope I'll be able return the favor as I learn more.
