Hi,

I've designed an ezpublish site with a login box at the top using the form from the login page.

ie:

Username: TEXTBOX
Password: TEXTBOX
forgotten password <-- link

Once a user logs into their account is it possible for the form to be replaced with the logout link?

How would I go about doing this?

Thanks in advance :-)

You could check wich user is actually logged in, if it is the anonymous user show the login form, else the logout link.

Hi Norbert,

Yes that's what I am after but how do I achieve it?

Do I need to create a .tpl file and reference it in the pagelayout.tpl

if so, what code do I put into the new loginbox.tpl ?

You can put everything right inside the template where you put the form.
Just use a if statement like

{if eq(user,anonymous)}
// form code here
{else}
// logout
{/if}

Check the manual for how to get the current user, perhaps there is a pagelayout variable?

Hi,

  {if $current_user.is_logged_in}
     <a href={"/user/logout"|ezurl} >Logout</a>
  {else}
     {*your login form here*}
  {/if}
