Login/logout text switching...

[beun.net]

On my index-page I use this code to display either LOGIN when one is not logged in, or LOGOUT, when one is logged in:

<?php
        if( $currentuser ) {
            echo "<b><a href=\"logout.php\" class=\"menured\">$text[mnulogout]</font></a></b>\n";
        }
        else {
            echo "<b><a href=\"login.php\" class=\"menured\">$text[mnulogon]</font></a></b>\n";
        }
?>

This works the way it should. No problems there.

Now I have pasted this code into the file topmenu.php, so it will also show up in my topmenu at every other page.

Can anybody tell me why on topmenu.php the login/logout text does not change when one is logged in or out, while with this exact same code, it does change on the mainpage?

It keeps saying "Login", even though one is already logged in.

(I've removed it from topmenu.php for now, since it doesn't work)

Because topmenu.php is called inside the function tng_header in genlib.php and the scope of the variable $currentuser does not extend into that function.

In order to get it to work you need to add

global $currentuser;

right after the other global declaration in the tng_header function.

Yay, wohoo Adding the

global $currentuser;

did the trick.

Thanks.
