I have zoneCopper theme and on the header/ top it shows something like this

Code:

Welcome username! :: Home :: Downloads :: Your Account :: Forums :: October 23, 2003

I want to add a link for logout here.

what file should I be editing? and what link should it be?

Code:

if ($username == "Anonymous") {
 echo "  <a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account\">Create an Account</a>\n";
 } else {
 echo "  ".Hello." $username!   [ <a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=logout\">Logout</a> ]";
}

Hello! I put that block of code into my header where I wanted it, and it's just showing:

Hello ! [Logout]

regardless of whether or not i'm logged in as admin, regular user, or not logged in at all.

I tried to put this code into my modified version of the ExtraLite theme, and I'm assuming there's some kind of global or definition i'm missing. There are no errors, so I dont think it's huge...

would someone be kind enough to tell me what I'll have to add into my theme.php and where to get this to work?

My eventual goal is:
Welcome, Name! [Logout] (if they're logged in)

and

Welcome, Anonymous [Login or Register] (My login/new user registration page are the same)

I'm not so great with php, mysql, but I've done pretty well modifying theme.php so I think I just need a push in the right direction.

Thank you, nuke guys, you are incredible!

Ahh - I actually managed to fix it myself... i refered to one of my login/logout blocks and changed anything that was $content to echo

I dont think this is the slickest piece of code ever, but it works well, and it's super customizable. I didn't use any language files, just hard coded the text. My site is in english only.

if (is_user($user)) {
$memname = $cookie[1];
echo "<big> Hello, $memname! [<a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=logout\"><big>Logout</big></a>] </big>";
}
else {
echo "<big> Welcome, Anonymous!  [Click <a href=\"http://www.tubanews.com/modules.php?name=Your_Account\"><big>here</big></a> to Login or Register]</big>";
}

You can see it in action on my site, right above the right blocks.
