Code updated 18.10.2010 to latest J1.5-21

The first way is to add a menu item to the login screen.
In the Menu Manager select "New" and type "External Link".
The url to use is http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_user&view=login

You can also add it directly in your template at a suitable position and style it appropriately -

<!--login link-->
   <div id="loginlink">
	<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_user&view=login">Login </a> 
   </div>
<!--end login link-->

If we want to add a bit of user interactivity then we first need to get the users name with a JFactory call and store it in a variable which we place in the php section of the template -

$username =& JFactory::getUser();

Then we can use this to greet the user if they are logged in and also provide a logout link.

<!--login link-->
   <div id="loginlink">
	<?php
          
$username =& JFactory::getUser();
	if ($username->guest) {
	echo '<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_user&view=login" >Login</a>';
		} else {
		$name = $username->get('username'); 
		echo 'Hi ' . $name . ' -  <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_user&task=logout" >Logout</a>';
		}
	?> 
   </div>
<!--end login link-->

Try this:

http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/login_protocol

This allows logging in by GET protocol, which means you can actually log in by klicking the link.

This is Perfect...Thanks for the post

it's what i am seeking for... thanks......

Nice work - just what I needed. But somehow the spec must have changed - com_user&view=logout gives me an error while com_user&view=login seems more right (brings you to the user component where you will find a Logout button).

Also, I needed a little extra - namely a link to the user's data in order for the user to change password and so on. In DNN you click the name and I find this to be a intuitive solution. Here's the complete code snippet for this:

<div id="loginlink">
<?php
if ($username->guest) {
echo '<a href="/index.php?option=com_user&view=login">Login</a>';
} else {
$name = $username->get('name');
echo 'Hi <a href="/index.php?option=com_user&view=user&layout=form">' . $name . '</a> - <a href="/index.php?option=com_user&view=login">Logout</a>';
}
?>
</div>

The Text box and the login button are not showing up.

please help.

Thanks!

hi, guys! I really need this to work. I love it, think it's great, but when I log in, it does not show my name, it keeps showing Login. and when I click logout it shows the 505 joomla error page. Also, I don't know if I put this $username =& JFactory::getUser(); in the right place - in the first baseurl . '/templates/' . $this->template;
artxComponentWrapper($document);
$username =& JFactory::getUser();
?>) .

Is that right?

thank you all so much!

Hey
Its working fine work nice
Thanks,

Nice work!

Helped me fix a problem! Thank you!

Thanks!
Line fixed....

should be "com_user&view=logout" on the 5th line from the bottom - just to save headaches should somebody copy paste this
