Hi,

By default our skin is set up to show Login and Register in the top right corner. I want to remove that but after they login I want to show:

         Welcome back: (user) | My Profile | Logout

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

Take a look at this thread at Snapsis.com.  Basically, you'll insert some conditional code in your skin to suppress those items for "unauthenticated" users.

Thanks Joe,

The only thing I was regarding login is:

To print out if a User is logged in or not logged in you can use something like :

<%= iif(Request.IsAuthenticated,"LoggedIn","NotLoggedIn") %>

I am not sure how this will work for me? The code that I am working with looks like this:


span id="Login"
dnn:USER runat="server" id="dnnUSER" CssClass="USER_object" /
dnn:LOGIN runat="server" id="dnnLOGIN" CssClass="LOGIN_object" /
/span


I have gone into the Login.ascx.resx file and removed the value for the login.text and the User.ascx.resx and removed the value for the register.text. This removed the Logon and Register from the homepage.

Now, when a user logs in the see their username and logout. I would like for them to see:

Welcome back: username | Sign Off
or
Welcome back: username | Update Profile | Sign Off

Where is the username being called from to be displayed? Can I edit something in there?

Thanks.
<dnn:user runat="server" id="dnnUSER" cssclass="USER_object"> <dnn:login runat="server" id="dnnLOGIN" cssclass="LOGIN_object">

I've got something like this in a skin (spaces added):

        < %  If DotNetNuke.Security.PortalSecurity.IsInRole("Registered Users") Then % >
        < td align="right" height="100%" style="width: 100%" >
            < div id="LoginUserContainer" >
                < dnn:user cssclass="BannerLinks" runat="server" id="dnnUser" url="" / >
                < dnn:login runat="server" cssclass="BannerLinks" id="dnnLogin" / >
            < /div >
        < /td >
        < % End If% >

This shows nothing until somebody logs in.  I've got the login control on the page.  When they login, the links appear, and the login control disappears because it is set to be viewed only by unauthenticated users.

You should be able to put back the original text for the resx files.  Then you won't have to remember them when you next do an upgrade.

Thanks. But, when I add the code to my skin it overrides my skin and goes back to the default dnn skin?

Also, I don't see how you add the text in front of the username?

If you are seeing the default skin, you should also see an error message about something being wrong in the skin.

If you want to add text right in the skin, just put it where you want it. Remember that a skin file is basically an html file, so you can do almost any html you want to do right in the skin.
