How to place Login/logout link on all pages

[pulsorock]

Hello,
I want to place a image link for login/logout on all pages on my board for easy access for my users.
What files do I need to modify and what do I need to place for the correct link?

[Steve Machol]

You could place these in your footer template:

http://www.yourforums.com/forums/member.php?s=&action=logout

http://www.yourforums.com/forums/member.php?s=&action=login

Could you please enter your customer info into your user profile? See my sig for details. Thanks!

And how can I place the link that depends if the user is logged in or logged out what link to appear.
For example, if the user is logged, then it will appear the logout link and if logged out,the login link?

Ok.. I have my account info on my home, as soon as I arrive there I'll add it.

[Steve Machol]

Hmmm....that's a bit more complicated. I don't know if this will work, but you can try using the $logincode variable in the footer template.

I'm pretty sure that using $logincode will give him the table cells that are used in the new reply / thread templates (username_loggedout and username_loggedin)...

But I think I got it.
In your global.php, add this code

if ($bbuserinfo['userid']==0) {
  eval("\$loginlink= \"".gettemplate("loginlink")."\";");
} else {
  eval("\$loginlink= \"".gettemplate("logoutlink")."\";");
} 

right before

if (!$header) {
  eval("\$header = \"".gettemplate('header')."\";");
} else {
  eval("\$header .= \"".gettemplate('header')."\";");
} 

Now make two new templates, logoutlink and loginlink, and place the right link in each of them.
If you want, you can use forumhome_logincode and forumhome_logoutcode (both exist) instead of loginlink and logoutlink (respectively).

Now you can use $loginlink in any of your templates to display a log in / out link.

Tell me if this works.
Good luck!

Good job FireFly!

[Chen]

Thanks.

So if you were going to user forumhome_logincode forumhome_logoutcode; would it be

if ($bbuserinfo['userid']==0) {
  eval("\$forumhome_logincode = \"".gettemplate("forumhome_logincode ")."\";");
} else {
  eval("\$forumhome_logoutcode = \"".gettemplate("forumhome_logoutcode ")."\";");
} 

is this correct?

[Chen]

That is correct.
But note that using forumhome_logincode will produce a form, not a link. (forumhome_logoutcode will give you a link tho)
I forgot to mention where to add this code, so I edited my original post.

How would I get that to display on non-vB pages?

[certify]

Something like in my site http://www.certifyexpress.com ?

Check out this hack.

Hi FireFly

The display of the links appeared fine, just as they should.
The logout link worked fine, but the login link didn't.
When a logged out user click on login, it appeard this message:

Thank you for logging in, .

Then the user stays logged out.

What could be wrong?

[Chen]

That's because just giving a link there is not enough.
I think you will have to use the template with the form (forumhome_logincode).
