Welcome Guest! Please login or register

[wardillb]

Currently on my website I have a login button and a register button. These are static and don't change whether you are logged in or not. This is quite annoying as there is nothing to say you are logged in so you may be filling a guest cart instead of your saved cart!

 

Anyway, I am looking to change the buttons and replace it with the following format:

 

NOT SIGNED IN:

Welcome Guest! Would you like to <link>login</link> or <link>register</link>?

 

SIGNED IN:

Welcome User001! Would you like to <link>logout</link>?

 

 

I'm sure you get what I mean, it doesn't have to be exact but i'm having trouble searching for a contribution for this and am not great with php. Can someone help please?

There is a LOGINBOX contribution in the contributions section. Have a look at that as the code you need is all there.

 

Loginbox

when logged in session has customer id.

 

So apply condition on this session variable valus.

Found a solution, took bits from the previously mentioned contribution. Anyway, if anyone wants to use it, replace your current code in includes/header.php with this. Obviously don't replace the whole page :P

 

<?php
if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id'))
{ ?>
<?php echo tep_customer_greeting(); ?>
<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'SSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a>
<?php echo ' or ' ?>
<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a>
<?
} else {
?>
<?php echo 'Welcome Guest! ' ?>
<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></a>
<?php echo ' or ' ?>
<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CREATE_ACCOUNT; ?></a>
<?php
}
?>
