How Do I Add Text Links For Login/Logout To RickTido Theme?

Hi,

I am using RickTido Theme, on RN 2.51 and would like to add text links at the top of the page for both Login and Register, that switch after login to showing something like 'Logout username'.

I've been trying to work it out by using the code that I've used before for this when using the Fisubice theme, but I can't work out how to add the code to the RickTido theme so that it works properly. I got it to display on site but it didn't do the switch. I'd appreciate if someone could tell me how to add it to the RickTido theme.

Here's the code that I had in fisubice theme and I had the $theuser in the header.php too there.

Code:

if ($username == 'Anonymous') {


          $theuser = '<a href="modules.php?name=Your_Account">'._LOGIN.'</a>&nbsp;<b/b>&nbsp;<a href="modules.php?name=Your_Account&amp;op=new_user">'._BREG.'</a>&nbsp;<b/b>&nbsp;<a href="/modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=pass_lost">Forgotten Password?</a>';


    } else {


        $theuser = '<a href="modules.php?name=Your_Account"><br />Your Account</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="modules.php?name=Your_Account&amp;op=logout" class="logout">'._LOGOUT.' '.$username.'</a>;


   }





if (is_admin($admin) AND is_user($user)) {


   echo''."\n";


}

Thanks for any help in advance with this.

you will need to echo the $theuser variable where you want it to appear.

You would also need to determine the $username. Where in the theme do you want it to show?

Thank you for your replies Nuken. I've modified the theme a bit, but want it to display right at the top of the page above the logo area and navigation. How do I determine the $username? So far I have the following code in my theme.php but have found that although it displays where I want it to be on the page, it only shows that I am logged in even when I'm logged out, it isn't switching.

Code:

if ($username == 'Anonymous') {


          $theuser = '<a href="modules.php?name=Your_Account">'._LOGIN.'</a>&nbsp;<b/b>&nbsp;<a href="modules.php?name=Your_Account&amp;op=new_user">'._BREG.'</a>';


    } else {


        $theuser = '<a href="modules.php?name=Your_Account"><br />Your Account</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="modules.php?name=Your_Account&amp;op=logout">'._LOGOUT.' '.$username.'</a>'."\n";


   }


if (is_admin($admin) AND is_user($user)) {


   echo''."\n";


}





echo '<div class="lineb">'.$theuser.'</div>';

In you themes function themeheader, add $user to the globals list. After the body tag, add the following:

Code:




echo'<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 980px;height:16px;">';


if (is_user($user)) {


      $uinfo = cookiedecode($user);


      echo _BWEL.' '.stripslashes($uinfo[1]). '<a style="float:right;" href="modules.php?name=Your_Account&amp;op=logout">'._LOGOUT.'</a>';


   } else {


   echo '<a href="modules.php?name=nukeNAV&amp;op=login" class="colorbox cboxElement">'._LOGIN.'</a> '._OR.'<a href="modules.php?name=Your_Account&amp;op=new_user"> '._BREG.'</a><a style="float:right" href="modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=pass_lost"> '._PASSWORDLOST.'?</a>';


   }


echo'</div>';

I changed it up a bit. If you want it to all be on the left, just remove the float right style and add the needed spacing.
