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
  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&view=logout">Logout</a>';
    }
  ?> 
   </div>
<!--end login link-->

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!
