Neo Pixel	Wednesday 18 February 2009 8:35:24 am Hi, I've designed an ezpublish site with a login box at the top using the form from the login page. ie: Username: TEXTBOX Password: TEXTBOX forgotten password <-- link Once a user logs into their account is it possible for the form to be replaced with the logout link? How would I go about doing this? Thanks in advance :-) Asking stupid questions so you don't have to!

Neo Pixel	Wednesday 18 February 2009 10:40:52 am Hi Norbert, Yes that's what I am after but how do I achieve it? Do I need to create a .tpl file and reference it in the pagelayout.tpl if so, what code do I put into the new loginbox.tpl ? Asking stupid questions so you don't have to!
Norbert Wagner	Wednesday 18 February 2009 12:33:17 pm You can put everything right inside the template where you put the form. Just use a if statement like {if eq(user,anonymous)} // form code here {else} // logout {/if} Check the manual for how to get the current user, perhaps there is a pagelayout variable? Norbert
