logout portal

hey i searched a bit and couldnt seem to find anything. i know theres a login portal, but i was wondering if you had like a logout portal, something just like a login portal, but only a button that said logout. no textboxes, just the button, and the portal would go hidden when you logout, being the exact opposite of the login portal. or maybe if you knew a way the login portal could instead of going hidden, transform into the logout portal. thanks!

Easy enough to do, will make the existing login portal mutate able, so while logged out you see it as it currently is and once logged in it will change it's contents to show a logout button.

Will tweak and test this now.

Ok, tested and it works fine Cool

Go into your admin panel, option 3 styles, then edit templates/logos and pick the template your going to work on, now from the bottom drop down list pick cms_login.tpl open it up and add the following below whats already inside the file:

also dont forget to add class="mainoption" or the font color is wrong. heres what it looks like, half way down on the left side:

I just logged in and out with it, no problems, I am using firefox.

Just tested in IE7 and looks like a bug, no sure if it's fixable tbh.

I will have more of a fiddle sometime tomorrow.

I've not been able to find a fix for the IE bug, but did a complete rework, which works across browsers:

This will however need to go into your css file:

actually, not to be mean er dis your work, but im a bit of a perfectionist and didnt like the fact that the button was slightly different than normal other buttons (like search and login) so i messed with the code a bit and got one that works beautifully and you dont need the css! its so short too!
