Hi Martin

Isn't that a matter of using the "loginstatus" ASP.NET control?

Could you perhaps post the code and tell a bit more about your templates and how they're structured?

/Jan

It's standard Asp.net login controls in the Master template with a bit of extra text and some extra classes to allow our own styling. Here's the relevant code:

<div class="loginDisplay">
    <asp:LoginView ID="HeadLoginView" runat="server" EnableViewState="false">
        <AnonymousTemplate>
   <div id="top_menu">
    <ul id="universal_head" class="dropdown">
                    <!-- Guest Navigation items -->                
          </ul>
            </div>
        </AnonymousTemplate>

        <LoggedInTemplate>
            <div id="top_menu">
    <div id="welcome">
     Welcome <span class="bold"><asp:LoginName ID="HeadLoginName" runat="server" /></span>, to siansplan.com
    </div>
    <div id="logged_in">
     <ul id="universal_head">
                        <!-- Looged in User navigation items -->
              </ul>
              </div>
            </div>
        </LoggedInTemplate>
    </asp:LoginView>
</div>

<div class="loginpanel">>
    <asp:Login ID="LoginUser" runat="server" EnableViewState="false" RenderOuterTable="false">
        <LayoutTemplate>
            <span class="failureNotification">
                <asp:Literal ID="FailureText" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
            </span>
            <asp:ValidationSummary ID="LoginUserValidationSummary" runat="server" CssClass="failureNotification"
                    ValidationGroup="LoginUserValidationGroup"/>
            <div class="accountInfo">
                <fieldset class="login">
                    <legend>Account Information</legend>
                    <p>
                        <asp:Label ID="UserNameLabel" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="UserName" >Username:</asp:Label>
                        <asp:TextBox ID="UserName" runat="server" CssClass="textEntry"></asp:TextBox>
                        <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="UserNameRequired" runat="server" ControlToValidate="UserName"
                                CssClass="failureNotification" ErrorMessage="User Name is required." ToolTip="User Name is required."
                                ValidationGroup="LoginUserValidationGroup">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                    </p>
                    <p>
                        <asp:Label ID="PasswordLabel" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="Password">Password:</asp:Label>
                        <asp:TextBox ID="Password" runat="server" CssClass="passwordEntry" TextMode="Password"></asp:TextBox>
                        <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="PasswordRequired" runat="server" ControlToValidate="Password"
                                CssClass="failureNotification" ErrorMessage="Password is required." ToolTip="Password is required."
                                ValidationGroup="LoginUserValidationGroup">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                    </p>
                    <p class="login_rem">
                        <asp:CheckBox ID="RememberMe" runat="server"/>
                        <asp:Label ID="RememberMeLabel" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="RememberMe" CssClass="inline">Keep me logged in</asp:Label>
                    </p>
                </fieldset>

                <p class="login_submitButton">
                    <asp:Button ID="LoginButton" style="margin-left:20px;" runat="server" class="button_standard" CommandName="Login" Text="Sign In" ValidationGroup="LoginUserValidationGroup"/>
                </p>
          <div class="register_img">   
              <img src="/media/161/signup.png" alt="Register for an account"/>
          </div>

          <div class="login_register">
                    <p>
           <a href="register.aspx" style="color:Red;">Register</a> for an account.
              </p>
          </div>
            </div>
        </LayoutTemplate>
    </asp:Login>
</div>

Jan, I just tried LoginStatus to see if it would be any different from the LoginView that I've used. It isn't any different, going to URL with page name e.g. http://example.com/default.aspx shows User Logout, going to without the page name shows User Login.

I should have perhaps mentioned that default.aspx is set up as the default page for the site in both Umbraco and IIS  and is working okay - http://example.com/  and http://example.com/default.aspx both show the same body content.

is working on a reply...
