Hi, this has probably already been answered but I have spent half a day searching the help files and forums with no success.  It is probably pretty simple HTML code but so far I cannot get anything to work.

How can I create a menu item which will display as "Login" when a user has not logged in and as "Logout" after a user has logged in?

I do not want to display the login form as static content, only the link on a menu.  The only way I have found is to create a new menu item for com_login with a static title.  I have been working on this off and on for four days now and am getting very frustrated.

Thanks for any help which anyone can give me.

Thanks, That looks like exactly what I want.  :)

Sorry about the double posting but if you put something in the wrong category there does not seem to be any way to delete it.

Now that I have had a chance to try this I find that it is not quite what I wanted.  I want would like is what appears to be a single item on a menu which changes from login to logout.  (The logout part works just fine).

Does anyone have any further ideas?

The solution I came up with (hat tip to other posters), was creating two almost identical menus: One for showing when you are not logged in (ie. containing a 'Login'-item) and one for showing when you are logged in (ie. containing a 'Logout'-item in the place where the 'Login'-item was) and then modifying the index.php of my template - Step by step it looks something like this:

In the backend:
  • Go to Site, Template Manager, Module Positions
  • Create 2 new module positions: TopGuest and TopReg
  • Go to Menu, Menu Manager
  • Create 2 Menu's: topmenuguest and topmenureg
  • Go to Menu, topmenuguest
  • Add the content you want shown when you are NOT logged in
  • Go to Menu, topmenureg
  • Add the content you want shown when you are logged in
  • Go to Modules, Site Modules, topmenuguest
  • Assign it to position TopGuest
  • Go to Modules, Site Modules, topmenureg
  • Assign it to position TopReg
  • Open your index.php of your template
  • Add the following in the appropriate place
Code:
<?php
if ($my->id) {
  mosLoadModules ('TopReg');
} else {
  mosLoadModules('TopGuest');
}
?>


Further I've created a 'full-page' Login-page by: Creating a content-item, using mosmodule (from http://www.ongetc.com/) to include the Login-module in the content-item (just in case you wondered -  ;D) -

Cheers -
