I am just starting with Silverstripe and I am having a (very simple?) problem. What I want to do is simply create a login / logout button somewhere on the site, the default menubar would be a good place. This should be very easy I guess, but I don't know how to do it...

On the back-end I could simply create a new menu-item which refers to /Security/login, but then it will still say "Login" after logging it, I would like it to disappear or change to logout. What is the best and simplest way to realize this?

I have searched the SilverStripe documentation, but I couldn't find it. Can somebody please explain how this works or provide me a link to a page where it is described? Thanks in advance! :-D

In your template:

<% if CurrentMember %> 
// Show logout button 
<% else %> 
// Show login button 
<% end_if %>

See http://spdr.me/qrVz for more info.

Hope that helps!

The links would be:

<a href="/Security/login">Log in</a>

and

<a href="/Security/logout">Log out</a>

I found that it is possible to programaticaly put login/logout buttons in header (in Silverstripe CMS) with this code.

<% if CurrentMember %>
<a href="/Security/login">Log in</a>
<% else %>
<a href="/Security/logout">Log out</a>
<% end_if %>

If I put "/Security/login" and "/Security/logout" in page name then it works, But if I put it in page template Page.ss then I cant see it (after sitename/dev/build and sitename/?flish=all)

Can someone help with Silverstripe 3.1 and "simple" template. Or give me any other clue.
