Yes. You are absolutely correct. I should have had a cup this morning before answering.
If you want to completely remove the login link, you can remove that skin object from within your skin file. If you are working with an html version of the skin, you for "[LOGIN]" in the skin file, and just remove it. If you want to remove the user skin object, that is "[USER]"
The USER skin object displays "Register" (if permitted) to non-logged in users and the Display name to logged in users.
The LOGIN skin object displays "Login" or "Logout"
If you are working with .ascx skin files, then you'll want to look for and remove:
< dnn:USER runat="server" id="dnnUSER" / >
< dnn:LOGIN runat="server" id="dnnLOGIN" / >
Even if you don't want to display a login link to visitors, you might want to display the display name and a logout link once people have logged in. John Mitchell (Snapsis.com) is the source of this code:
< % If DotNetNuke.Security.PortalSecurity.IsInRole("Registered Users") Then% >
< div id="LoginUserContainer" >
< dnn:User cssclass="BannerLinks" runat="server" id="dnnUser" url="" / >
|
< dnn:Login runat="server" cssclass="BannerLinks" id="dnnLogin" / >
< /div >
< % End If % >
(note that I've added some spaces to that the html tags won't be interpreted as such when this message is posted - remove them to use it.)
If you add the conditional stuff around the USER and LOGIN skin objects, they will only be displayed to registered users. YOu can change the role if you want to do this only for Administrators, for instance.
Visit Snapsis' DotNetNuke support forums and you'll find a thread that has other uses for conditional code in skin files.
I left out another way to login. Either of these should work, provided that you haven't altered the default login page:
http://mysite.com/login.aspx
http://mysite.com/?ctl=login
There are also logoff.aspx and ?ctl=logoff.
This is exactly what I'm looking for. However, I'm fairly new to DNN so where do I have to add all this stuff in? Where do I put the conditionals?

Those go in your ascx skin.
Take a look at the recent tutorials on skinning:
Don't let the work "professional" scare you off as these are all quite accessible.

| What part of the ascx file does the conditional go in? |

| Also, I made my skin in Artisteer so I have to ascx files, page.ascx and page-admin.ascx. Do i have to put it in both? Or how does that work? |

I haven't used Artisteer, but I assume that you actually have two skin files. One if for normal pages and one for admin type pages.
I'd probably only put the conditional stuff on normal page skin. The admin type pages will only be seen to logged in admins or in special situations.

| Makes sense. What part of the ascx file do I put it in? I would really appreciate your help because I have to get this done and it also serves me good for future ascx editing. Thank you. |

I strongly recommend that you view the tutorials, as things may make a lot more sense.
The short answer is that you need to find where the skin objects are located in the page, and then wrap the conditional code around them.

The tutorials you sent me require a subscription. I'm assuming that the skin objects are defined here:
<%@ Control language="vb" CodeBehind="~/admin/Skins/skin.vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="LOGO" Src="~/Admin/Skins/logo.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="LOGIN" Src="~/Admin/Skins/login.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="BREADCRUMB" Src="~/Admin/Skins/breadcrumb.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ARTMENU" Src="~/DesktopModules/ArtMenuSO/ArtMenuSO.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="STYLES" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Styles.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="COPYRIGHT" Src="~/admin/Skins/copyright.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="TERMS" Src="~/admin/Skins/terms.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="PRIVACY" Src="~/admin/Skins/privacy.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="TEXT" Src="~/admin/Skins/Text.ascx" %>
So could I put the conditional under that? |

No, you need to put the conditional code in the part of the skin where the LOGIN skin object is actually used.

Ok, I see. Well the LOGIN skin object is called in this line:
dnn:ARTMENU ID="ArtMenu1" ShowHiddenTabs="False" ShowAdminTabs="True" ShowDeletedTabs="False" ShowLoginTab="True" ShowUserTab="True" runat="server"
So I can place it under there? Or am I misunderstanding? |
