    In wrapper.tpl my login box does not appear, but if i am logged in the user box appears (but my avatars are broken). I just upgraded to the newest Revo.

    So it seems this works
    [[+discuss.user.id:notempty=`


    But this does not
      [[+discuss.user.id:is=``:then=`


    And can someone provide a code to provide a login box if there is no user logged in, I dont think i need to use discuss to check this.

      I think there is a way to do it with output modifiers. Personalize will also do it, but this custom snippet is a little faster:

      [[!LoginOrNothing]]


      /* LoginOrNothing snippet */
if ($modx->user->hasSessionContext('web')) {
   return 'Whatever you want for a logged in user';
} else {
   return 'Whatever you want for a NOT-logged in user';
}

        Hmm that seems to throw an error, the line is where the urlmaker code is.
        a href="[[DiscussUrlMaker? &action=`user` &params=`{"type":"username", "user":"[[+discuss.user.username]]"}`]]"


        I found that it works to bring back the login stuff! But what I did was leave the first part of the code blank (because of the above issue) and now have the opposite problem. So, I left the user panel stuff in the original code, and only return blank or the login with the snippet.

        Thanks so much!

          I'm glad you got it sorted. That code of mine has no error, but you might have introduced one when you filled in what you want to return(e.g., a single quote inside the single quotes).

            Yeah that's what happened, the code for the user box made an error. So, I cut it out. Luckily the login box didn't. There must be some way to isolate the code inside, but I don't need it.

            Now, I get the login box, or it returns empty. So, login, or nothing.

            Isn't that why you gave it that name? wink
