Login Box

[rbaby]

Hey guys,  I made a login box in my template...this box is universal to the site and is the only place where people can log on.  How do I change this to make the box show something else when the user is ALREADY signed on?  As it stands right now, the box does *not* go away even after you log on...I would like it to just say "you are already logged in USER_NAME" and a link to "logout".  Thanks guys.

<?php
if (USER_ID) {
    echo 'You are already logged in';
} else {
    // display your login box here
}
?>

You'll need to convert the login box to a proper custom header if you need dynamic behaviour. You would of course need to escape single quotes properly too

I would like to do something similar to this, utilizing VBulletin's login.

I can put the following code on the template.html and it will properly log the user in. However I would like to replace the current "Login" text in the {MAIN_MENU}field so that the login box will disappear when the user is logged in. Where do I find the {MAIN_MENU} code?

Here is the VBullein login box code that want to use:

<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
</form>
<!-- / login form -->


If anyone could give me some assistance here, it would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks!
