[Fixed] Help with Login/Logout in Menu item

southeasternphotography

Hi. I have added code to a menu item to have a Login/Logout button. The way it works, it is only suppose to give you the correct item depending whether you are logged in or not. I'm in PREVIEW, so, I cannot see what it looks like logged out (like a regular user or client). When logged in, the "Logout" is dropping below the normal Menu line. I have the following code in my footer area and it seems right (says "Logout" 'cause I am logged in).

<span id="yui_3_8_0_1_1377659365592_5546"> </span><a class="leflogin" href="https://secure.smugmug.com/login?goTo=http://www.southeasternphotography.com/&quot; style="text-align: right; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.231;"><span>Login</span></a><a href="http://secure.smugmug.com/logout?goTo=http://www.southeasternphotography.com&quot; target="_self" id="yui_3_8_0_1_1377659365592_5542"><span id="yui_3_8_0_1_1377659365592_5541">Logout</span></a>

I created a new Menu item and placed that code in the NAME field. Nothing was put in the URL field. It actually works - I can log out hitting that item. I am using the custom code to produce a full screen slideshow on the home page (SmugMug Theme). I had the Login/Logout in the footer. Since there is nothing in the Content field on this page, it causes the footer to rise to about half page. So, I need to delete the code from the footer. That's why I am putting it in the Menu.

OH, I tried using "align left" and it made no difference. Just noticed the line-height command. Maybe this is the issue? How would I figure out the line-height of the Menu items fields if this IS the issue? Also, I do not know if I was logged out, would "Login" appear in-line with the other items or would it be below the line, too. Thanks in advance for help with this considering all the much higher priority issues!

A new menu item type "Login/Logout" was added today which hopefully solves this issue for you. Please try it out and let me know!

Super! That works for me just fine. I put it in and it only shows the one word at a time (which saves space in the menu line). Assuming if I was logged out, it will only say Login. I'm in Preview Mode so can't test that. I am sure it works fine. Thank you SmugMug for solving another issue!!! Perhaps you can add to the beginning of the title - FIXED!

Thanks Denise! Are you a Hero? IF so, shouldn't you have "Hero" in your name tag thingie? If not, well, you are a Hero to me!

I know this would take a huge effort, but for publicity sakes, someone should go through the threads and figure out which requests HAVE been fixed and mark them as such. This would really be a great publicity thing for SmugMug and DGRIN showing the responsiveness of the Hero's and SmugMug. I really hate going though a huge thread that interests me only to find out that the problem was solved either by a software fix, a Hero's suggestion, a user's suggestion, or a proven statement that the issue was a user error. Also, people may have the same problem and see that there IS a solution! Easier said than done, I know. Sporadically, maybe by user request, as in my case, the item gets marked as fixed. I was more than happy to ask that "FIXED" be placed in front of a thread that I created! Helps show I am not just a complainer and that SmugMug DOES listen to its customers.

I rummaged through a competitor's "help area" comparable to DGRIN for them. None of them were marked as FIXED although many of them were. Gave the impression that they still had many unresolved problems. Maybe you can send this up the ladder. I used to work in Customer Service for multiple Fortune companies. Perception of Customer Service was determined to be a really high profile issue for good reasons. Anyway, thank you for sticking with me and getting a positive working solution to my problem.

EDIT: Allen and Denise responded while I was crafting this response. Cool Allen. I will check out that thread!

No, I'm not a hero - I'm a customer just like you are.

I believe the heros have an indication of that in their profile.

I would think anyone looking through the fixed list are the ones that are using a work-around or
waiting for a fix. Otherwise who cares, it's something that Smug fixed and shouldn't be a problem
for them.

Thanks Allen for providing this service! That was really a short list! I know there are many more, thus my post above. Glad I was able to add at least one! I know that I have several others that have been fixed - like:

http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=239162&highlight=thumbs
http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=239169&highlight=thumbs

That was just searching on "thumbs". I will search through all my posts and add here. So, keep this thread as monitored.

Those listed can all be set as FIXED! Doing this I found a bug where searching by Date and using the YEAR search, the number of images in the YEAR does not always match the number found! I will add a thread in the Bug list. It is just two years (2008 and 2009). Off hand, is there already a bug note on this? Before I search tons of threads!

southeasternphotography

Denise - then how did you get the FIXED added? Something or someone I should be telling? You are still my Hero!

If there is a place to do this (helpdesk?) then maybe we should have a closed (no additional replies) sticky thread in DGRIN requesting users to let this place know if their thread is FIXED or CLOSED! Maybe at least some folks will do this.

Dang...that was a good point!

Ok, here are more from me that I think have been answered positively and can be stated as FIXED:

I did not like the answer to this one, but basically, they said this was not going to change. So, maybe it should not be set as FIXED, but maybe ANSWERED.

Another one I did not like the answer but it is obviously beyond SmugMug's control - so maybe this should say ANSWERED:
http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=239758

Fixed

Pretty much fixed as there now is a sticky place for Bug reporting that has been acknowledged by SmugMug:
http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=238079

This appears to be solved even with all the off-topic questions:

No longer relevant due to New SmugMug:

Hope this helps out! That's all I have that I consider solved!
