Error when creating a custom page in Drupal 7 - php

Question

(Using Adaptive Theme) I want a new and custom user login page. So, put this code in my template.php:
function mythemename_theme() {
$items = array();
// create custom user-login.tpl.php
$items['user_login'] = array(
'render element' => 'form',
'path' => drupal_get_path('theme', 'mythemename') . '/templates',
'template' => 'user-login',
'preprocess functions' => array(
'mythemename_preprocess_user_login'
),
);
return $items;
}
Changed mythemename to my custom theme name. And created user-login.tpl.php files and put this code:
<?php
print drupal_render($form['name']);
print drupal_render($form['pass']);
print drupal_render($form['form_build_id']);
print drupal_render($form['form_id']);
print drupal_render($form['actions']);
?>
Lastly, cleared my site cache. But when i click mysite.com/user login page not changed.
Where the error am I doing? How can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

Try putting this in template.php, change mythemename to theme name, and flush the cache.
function mythemename_theme($existing, $type, $theme, $path){
$hooks['user_login']=array(
'render element'=>'form',
'template'=>'templates/user-login',
);
return $hooks;
}
Then in templates/user-login.tpl.php insert:
<?php
print render($form['name']);
print render($form['pass']);
print render($form['form_build_id']);
print render($form['form_id']);
print render($form['actions']);
?>
or
<?php print drupal_render_children($form) ?>
