Hi, I love the montezuma theme - just one thing I'd like to add if possible.

Above the menus in the header, I'd like to add some text that knows if a user is logged in. If they are logged in, it says Welcome "First Name" and then shows the option to log-out. If they are not logged in, then there is no message displayed.

Is this easy to do - any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers


Just to add, I have used the following code in other themes and it has worked great. Just need to know how to add this to Montezuma.

<?php global $user_identity; if ($user_identity): ?>
<h2 class="site-description">
<?php global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();
	echo 'Welcome ' . $current_user->user_firstname ; ?>

 – (<a href="<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-login.php?action=logout" title="Logout">Logout</a>)</h2>
<?php endif; ?>

Any ideas?

Hi, I have used this code in a different theme and it does what I want – hoever, it doesn't appear correctly in Montezuma.

<?php global $user_identity; if ($user_identity): ?>
<h2 class="site-description">
<?php global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();
	echo 'Welcome ' . $current_user->user_firstname ; ?>

 – (<a href="<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-login.php?action=logout" title="Logout">Logout</a>)</h2>
<?php endif; ?>

Can anyone help?

Just to add, I've used the following code on a different theme and it works fine - just not sure how to add this to Montezuna.

<?php global $user_identity; if ($user_identity): ?>
<h2 class="site-description">
<?php global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();
	echo 'Welcome ' . $current_user->user_firstname ; ?>

 – (<a href="<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-login.php?action=logout" title="Logout">Logout</a>)</h2>
<?php endif; ?>

Any ideas?

you need to add a 'Dynamic Sidebar' (see the limited php code) and then add your code into it and have a plugin like widget logic.

Hi, sorry I'm not sure what you mean by "'Dynamic Sidebar' (see the limited php code)". I need this to go above the menu items - not as a sidebar widget. Is this possible?

Hi, just seen the Limited Php section.

With this in mind, is there a way of getting what I want into the header, or is it almost impossible?

the label 'dynamic sydbar' is mis leading, it should say 'dynamic widget area'
so add one in the header

Hi, thanks for helping. I'm not sure where or what I should be adding the dynamic widget!

Sorry to sound stupid, but could you give me a bit more info please. I'm not a developer.


Thanks

Copy the sample code and put it in the hearer.php virtual template, then go to the widget area and you will see the new area and you can add a widget into it

Experiment a little, play with it, best way to learn

Hi, with a bit more rooting around I have managed to do it - looks good.

After trying unsuccessfully to create my own widget I found a plug-in called executable-php-widget which allowed me to create what I wanted.

Job done. Thanks.
