Where's the signout link located?

ChrisGwynne

Where's the signout link located in the files and is there anyway I can move it into the menu system along with dicussions/categories/search/account ?

lech

it's under
.Session {}

ChrisGwynne

I know the CSS for it, but where in the PHP files is it located, because I want to move it around so it's attached to the menu object and not separate.

lech

ahh, ok, wait for mark then :D

I'm not going to tell you where it is in the files, because you shouldn't be touching it in the files. You can easily accomplish what you want with an extension: Create a new extension file called SessionTab.php. Add your extension info at the top of your file and then do this: if (in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array("all", "forum", "pages", "here"))) { if ($this->Context->Session->UserID > 0) { $Menu->AddTab(($Context->GetDefinition("SignOut"), "whatever", "leave.php", "SignOutClass", "", 5); } else { $Menu->AddTab(($Context->GetDefinition("SignIn"), "whatever", "signin.php", "SignOutClass", "", 5); } $Head->AddString("<style type=\"text/css\">.Session { display: none; }</style>"); }

There's a parse error in there mark, for the life of me, can't find it.

I'll take a stab at that...it looks like there's too many ('s

Try this instead:

if (in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array("all", "forum", "pages", "here"))) { if ($this->Context->Session->UserID > 0) { $Menu->AddTab($Context->GetDefinition("SignOut"), "whatever", "leave.php", "SignOutClass", "", 5); } else { $Menu->AddTab($Context->GetDefinition("SignIn"), "whatever", "signin.php", "SignOutClass", "", 5); } $Head->AddString("<style type=\"text/css\">.Session { display: none; }</style>"); }

ChrisGwynne

Hmm nope, doesn't show up in the menu...

dknowles

Well, if it got rid of the parse errors, then my job is done.

ChrisGwynne

Okay from the looks of things the problem is here

if (in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array("all", "forum", "pages", "here"))) { if ($this->Context->Session->UserID > 0) {

Now no error is presented, but the menu doesn't show up because of it...

ChrisGwynne

Ohhhhhhhh man I'm stupid, sorry mark. hahaha. ignore everything cept comment below..

k, so yeah Undefined variable: this resulting from if ($this->Context->Session->UserID > 0) {

Mark

Doh - sorry - I just wrote that on the fly :)

ChrisGwynne

Is there a fix to this variable problem?

dknowles

Well, the proper way to do it would be to make a class. But, for a quick hack you can probably just use $Context->Session->UserID instead.

dknowles

This would be a bit more proper:

class LoginThing {
  var $Name;
  var $Context;

  function LoginThing(&$Context) {
    $this->Name = "LoginThing";
    $this->Context = &$Context;
  }

  function AddToHeader() {
    if (in_array($this->Context->SelfUrl, array("all", "forum", "pages", "here"))) {
      if ($this->Context->Session->UserID > 0) {
        $Menu->AddTab($this->Context->GetDefinition("SignOut"), "whatever", "leave.php", "SignOutClass", "", 5);
      } else {
        $Menu->AddTab($this->Context->GetDefinition("SignIn"), "whatever", "signin.php", "SignOutClass", "", 5);
      }
    $Head->AddString("");
    }
  }
}
$LoginThing = $Context->ObjectFactory->NewContextObject($Context, "LoginThing");
  $LoginThing->AddToHeader();

Mark

Oh, and keep in mind that this:

if (in_array($this->Context->SelfUrl, array("all", "forum", "pages", "here"))) {

Needs to be changed to the actual page names that you want the signout/in button on (implied by "all forum pages here), like this:

if (in_array($this->Context->SelfUrl, array("index.php", "comments.php"))) {

that would add it to the discussion list and the comments page - and nothing else.

ChrisGwynne

Yep. Got it to work perfectly, thanks guys.

I tried this in the new version and can't get it to work. I get these errors: Notice: Undefined variable: Context in D:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\Vanilla.1\extensions\SessionTab\default.php on line 21 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in D:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\Vanilla.1\extensions\SessionTab\default.php on line 21 Line 21 is the "if (in_array" line. Should it be able to work? I am pretty new with the Vanilla forum, but find it excellent.

This discussion is from August of 2005 and obviously not relevant any longer.

Why don't you start a new discussion outlining your problem?
