login / logout link

[DuJam]

Greetings!

In my 1.0 installation I added a text link in my template which shows 'sign in' to redirect the user to a login page. After the user logged in, the text link changed in 'sign out' and the name of the user was shown after the link. It worked perfect with this code:

Code: Select all

            <?php if( $my->id ) 
              { 
              echo '<a class="login" href="index.php?option=com_login&Itemid=848&action=logout">sign out</a>'; 
              } else {
              echo '<a class="login" href="index.php?option=com_login&Itemid=847&action=login">sign in</a>';
			                }
            ?>
            <?php if ( $my->id ) { echo $my->name; } ?>

But in my new 1.5 installation it does not work anymore.

Does anybody know why and how to solve it?

Many tnx!

Change your code to:

Code: Select all

<?php 
$userid=$_SESSION["__default"]["user"]->id;
$username=$_SESSION["__default"]["user"]->name;
            if( $userid!=0 ) 
              { 
              echo '<a class="login" href="index.php?option=com_login&Itemid=848&action=logout">sign out</a>'; 
              } else {
              echo '<a class="login" href="index.php?option=com_login&Itemid=847&action=login">sign in</a>';
                         }
            ?>
            <?php if ( $userid!=0 ) { echo $username; } ?>
