Shouldnt login button text change once the user logs in?

Hello guys,


I am using simplicity and i wonder, shouldn't the login button test change to something like "logout" after the user logs in?

Hello,

In this template this feature is not available by default, but you can implement it as we have implemented it i.e. in the University template - please open file lib/menu/GKBase.class.php and in method genMenuItem please add after line:

Code: Select all

$txt .= $tmpname;

please add the following fragment:

Code: Select all

if(stripos($active, 'gkLogin') !== FALSE) {
            $user = JFactory::getUser();
            if($user->id > 0) {
               $txt = JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_MYACCOUNT');
            }
         }

It will replace the text in the menu item which has CSS class "gkLogin".

Of course you have to add in the template language file the following phrase:

Code: Select all

TPL_GK_LANG_MYACCOUNT="My account"

Thanks for looking into this

The code seems to be ok - do you have a gkLogin CSS class in this menu item?

Yes....

Could you please provide me with a URL to your website and FTP access via PM (click the “Private Message” text underneath my avatar) so that I may analyze it?

Thank you for the help.

Your problem is caused by fact that your log in item is not located in the mainmenu - my custom change was dedicated for main menu. In your case (log in item in custom menu) I have no solution.

Thank you for your efforts.

Bare with me just in case you are still willing to waste a few minutes thinking on this.. .. Would it be possible to have a module or menu link only only visible to logged in users?

If you want to display some code visible for the registered users you have to wrap your code into the following code:

Code: Select all

$user = JFactory::getUser();
if($user->id > 0) {
// code to display for the registered users
}

If you want to display some code visible for the registered users you have to wrap your code into the following code:

Code: Select all

$user = JFactory::getUser();
if($user->id > 0) {
// code to display for the registered users
}

then i guess that using

Code: Select all

$user = JFactory::getUser();
if($user->id = 0) {
// code to display for the registered users
}

Would only show to not loged in users?

This could mean i could create 2 custom buttons to be my login and logout button and wrap them with the code above? (instead of using a joomla menu).

Yes, but please use the following line for the not-logged users:

Code: Select all

if($user->id == 0) {

condition:

Code: Select all

if($user->id = 0) {

is always true - even if $user->id is different than 0.

I will try this on the weekend and update the topic.


Maty i suggest for this to be a sticky topic or your guys making a Blog post about this?
I am guessing allot of peeps out there would be interested.

I'll ask one of our developers to write this kind of article soon

Just noticed i never updated the topic.
So, .. here goes.

I confirm it works like a charm.
