Can someone be kind enough to help me out with this task? I am trying to put *one* login / logout link in the header file... It doesn't look right having them both together... [ login : logout ] and leaving either one of them in their doesn't work if I remove the user functions block... I would like to put in one link that will double as a login *and* logout link... If you're logged out it should say login and if you're logged in it should say logout... Can someone help me make this happen? Thanks for any feedback on this

How's your German? ;-) There's a thread[*1] over at geeklog.info explaining how to do that.

The solution is pretty simple, actually, and relies on the fact that you can use PHP in header.thtml:

<?php
  if ($_USER['uid'] > 1) {
    print '<a href="' . $_CONF['site_url'] . '/users.php?mode=logout">Logout</a>';
  } else {
    print '<a href="' . $_CONF['site_url'] . '/users.php?mode=login">Login</a>'; 
  }
?>

bye, Dirk

Parse error: parse error in /var/www/staticpages/index.php(78) : eval()'d code on line 1

If somebody finds out how to fix it I'd really appreciate it.
