- Ok... I feel certain this is a total noob question, but I did not see anything in a quick forum search. When I add a login module to my template I get the expected login fields and also the 'Remember Me' checkbox. When I add it as a component though, I don't get that. I could just create an empty page an assign the module to it of course, but I figure I am missing some configuration option somewhere. Any happen to know what obvious think I am missing?

Which template are you using? Please post URL to your site so we can check
Also, you have to understand that there is a big difference between module and component - Check my services at: Mihha-Vision

Template is Halcyon 2.5. There is a module on the home page as well as a component menu item for comparison. valid user is guest/guest if you should need it.

I know that components use a different code base than modules do, but I have never seen them as more complicated per se. In fact, I have not even seen much documentation about creating 2.5 modules from source. Either way, if the login component is standard joomla and the module is a rok version, than that probably explains why the module is better:-) Still though, you would think the remember me check box would be pretty standard these days.

- Well, unfortunately, you are not missing anything. Login component just doesn't have "Remember me" option

Ok, well, I will just adjust and use a module on the page then. At least I know I was not missing something obvious.
On a side note, do you happen to know if there is a guide anywhere to building your own modules for 2.5? Joomladocs certainly has a nice detailed guide for components, but I don't see anything for modules? Is it just a matter of setting the extension line in the <script>.xml file to read module instead of component? That seems way to easy.
<extension type="component" version="2.5.0" method="upgrade">

- Ok. So, this seems to be an area where joomla is not well documented. At least from the joomla docs sites. I found a 1.5 guide and it basically works except for the optional parameters. At any rate, this is pretty far off topic for this post, and I appreciate your help on the initial response.
