login link

[yogi23]

I want that in the Header Navigation, there is a link for login but when anybody does login then login link show off.

Are you saying you want the link to always show login, even if the person is already logged in?

Hi

A bit old thread but I am trying to do the same i.e.

 

I would like a login link in the top bar next to MY ACCOUNT |

instead of the hello guest blablabla register blablabla

 

Officially I would like it to disapear once logged in as the Log off link appears. in the same place.

 

Help will be welcome as I had a done some search but with no result yet.

 

Thanks

Well I found my way around it.

I hope this will help others as I have really struggled trying to find out how to do this, but with no luck until I throw myself into writing php.

 

In catalog/includes/header.php

 

The code was>> around line 128

<?php if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) { ?><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?> </a> | 

 

 

And I changed it to

 

 

<?php if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) { ?><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?> </a>  | 

 

<?php } else { ?><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?> </a>  | 

 

 

 

That seems to works fine for me.

Please let me know if there is an obvious mistake or security issue as I am completely new to it all, and this is my first play around with php coding using a bit of copy paste and a bit of play and error. lol

 

Dam that was hard reading lot of the contributions and threads

Ooops be carefull, somehow it doesn't show it all.

Sorry I tried the code boxes to but the result was the same.

 

In the code the symbol | is in fact with invisible space. i.e

&.nbsp;|&.nbsp; without the dot between the & and n just as one does with a separator.
