login / register / user name ... dynamic information display

All I’m seeing is a log in form on your site. I have a login form here.
modx.acgi.org/login

What I’m having trouble getting working is the header to be dynamic with it’s information. Like this...

For NON-logged in viewers I want the header to display register and login links like...


For those who are logged in I want the header to display their name and a logout link.


How can I get this to change based on a logged in or out user?

I use the personalise on a Modx site with this line of code



if you look into the snippet code itself you will see



This works fine for me together with the [!LoginorLogout? &docid=`12` &logintxt=`Members Log-in` &logouttxt=`Members Log-out`!] snippet

Dont know if that helps yu or not

Where do you find the LoginorLogout snippet? Doesn’t seeem to show up in a forum search here.

The snippet code is in the database; access it from Manager -> Manage resources -> Snippets. The snippet acts as the interface between MODx and the more complex back-end code in the files in assets/snippets/weblogin.

There is not a snippet by the name of LoginorLogout in my installation. v0.9.1(rev 646). Was it left out of this package or something?

The snippet is WebLogin.

Is that an undocumented feature?
[!LoginorLogout? &docid=`12` &logintxt=`Members Log-in` &logouttxt=`Members Log-out`!]

I didn’t see anywhere that "LoginorLogout" was a snippet within the Weblogin snippet. I’m just trying to figure out the techniques for learning MODx here. There could be a lot of things to learn if I know where to look.

it does get somewhat confusing at times doesn’t it
I think what people should do is instead of saying what they do with this snippet or that chunk, they should put the example in the post exactly the way they have it setup to obtain a certain result otherwise a state of clueness occurrs.
if you got something that works for you that is similiar to how someone else wants to do it, tell us (no show us) your coding example this would be the most logical and effective way to help others.

based on doing something like this personal text ’user’ login | logout

I just used the {{ LoginBlock }} chunk

put this [[Personalize? &message=`Greetings, ` &wrapper=`h3` &class=`welcome`]]
with it

then you can style it however you want

I think it would better to just come up with only one complete snippet that combines both login/logout link with personal greeting, something that is separate from the login form itself, this way the snippet could be placed anywhere,

keeping login/logout text independant from login form is the best way I think if it can be done

I found it pretty useful to gut out some chunks/snippets and change from tables to div tags and restyle the way you want works out nice

i simply cut/paste the code for example weblogintpl and created a new one with the changes works good
