Hi Dave,

I would like to move the "Logoff (User)" link in the header to the left menu. I assume that's not too hard..

Cheers
Avrom

Thanx :))

Hi Avrom

Thanks for posting!

You should be able to move that button over but you'll need to be working with the CMS Builder interface templates which isn't really something we recommend. The main thing here is that once you have it setup once, you'll actually need to do the same thing over and over again each time you upgrade because the interface templates are always re-done.

Let me know if you are ok with this and we'll have a look at it together.

Thanks!

Hi Ross,

Thanks for the reply. Yes I am aware that I will have to be careful with this on upgrades, but since I'm only modifying the CSS, header and footer files, it should be straightforward enough.

The code in header.php is like this, and I would like to move it to the menu bar links:

<?php if ($CURRENT_USER): ?>
| <a href="?action=logoff"><?php printf(__("Logoff (%s)"), htmlspecialchars($CURRENT_USER['username'])); ?></a>
<?php endif ?>

Many thanks,
Avrom

Hi Avrom,

Open cmsAdmin/lib/menus/header.php and search for 'menuBar'. The code to add it will probably look something like this (new code in red):

<?php if ($CURRENT_USER): ?>
<div id="menuBar">
<ul>
<?php echo $menuLinks ?>
<li><a href="?action=logoff"><?php printf(__("Logoff (%s)"), htmlspecialchars($CURRENT_USER['username'])); ?></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<?php endif ?>


Hope that helps!
