How to make a link connect/disconnect for user[solved]

Coulibaly,

If I understand correctly, you're wanting to show the "Connect" button if no user is logged in, and show the "Disconnect" button if a user is logged in. Yes?

Assuming the above, I believe something like the below would work.

{def $user=fetch( 'user', 'current_user' )}

{section show=eq($user.contentobject.name, 'Your Anonymous User Name')}
   // User is not logged in, Connect button code here (input, a href, whatever)
{section-else}
   // User is logged in, Disconnect button code here (input, a href, whatever)
{/section}

Put that where the button should show up.

I would recommend doing something like this:

{def $user=fetch( 'user', 'current_user' )}  
{if $user.is_logged_in}  
  // User is logged in, Disconnect button code here (input, a href, whatever)
  <a href={"/user/logout"}>Log out ({$user.contentobject.name})</a>
{else}
   // User is not logged in, Connect button code here (input, a href, whatever)
  <a href={"/user/login"}>Log in</a>
{/if}

Anonymous user is marked as not logged in.
