Best way to display Login or Logout chunks based on status.

[[!+modx.user.id:is=`0`:then=`Not logged in`:else=`Logged in`]]

Thanks for the quick reply Shaun, but that still gives me ’logged in’ when I’m not!

This worked:


thanks again

Spoke too soon... now it says ’Not logged in’ whether I am or not!

OK, I think I figured it out -- use empty string instead of zero: [[!+modx.user.id:is=``:then=`Not logged in`:else=`Logged in`]]

I think this might be more reliable in the front end:



Remember that when you’re previewing from the Manager, it won’t necessarily work the way it would for a regular front-end user.

That’s why I usually develop with a couple browsers open: Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari. One in the manager side of things and one as a guest or logged as a test user.

Yes, that is better. Thanks Bob.

Either something changed when I moved the site live, or I didn’t test properly, but the ’(anonymous)’ test doesn’t work now, so I went back to testing for empty id.

We didn´t find a site where it is described how to add a logout-link? How does this link have to look like? Does anybody know this?
