For some reason I cant figure this out, maybe it’s because I’ve been staring at this for too long.

I wanted to edit JA Login to do two things.

1. Add a “My Profile” button next to the logout button, which takes them to a unique page and their met with a custom layout
2. Redirect after log-in to their custom page.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this process. I’m trying to stay away from the obvious hidden menu item way of doing it. Help Needed ASAP!

Adding a button to JA Login should be relatively simple. Simply edit the file mod_jalogintmpldefault.php and add your custom code in the area below. You will need to work out your code depending on exactly where you want to link to and how.

[PHP]<?php if ($params->get(‘greeting’)) : ?>
<div class=”login-greeting”>
<?php if($params->get(‘name’) == 0) :
echo JText::sprintf(‘HINAME’, $user->get(‘username’));
else :
echo JText::sprintf(‘HINAME’, $user->get(‘name’));
endif; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class=”logout-button”>
<input type=”submit” name=”Submit” class=”button” value=”<?php echo JText::_(‘JLOGOUT’); ?>” />
</div>
<input type=”hidden” name=”option” value=”com_users” />
<input type=”hidden” name=”task” value=”user.logout” />
<input type=”hidden” name=”return” value=”<?php echo $return; ?>” />
<?php echo JHTML::_(‘form.token’);?>
</form>
</li>
<?php else : ?>
[/PHP]

As for the redirect that will be simple if whatever component you are using for their custom page has a menu* item. For instance, if we create a menu item of the type “User Profile” then in the back end of the JA Login modules settings you can select it to go to this menu item on login. So from then on, if any user logs in they will then automatically go to their user profile. Yes, that is the obvious hidden menu method but as far as I can see it is the only sensible way of achieving what you want.

*I am sure you know this but I am detailing it for those that may not.

Okay, I’ve got the log out and My profile button set up.

I was editing the right file. The main issue I had was I was editing inside modulesmod_jalogintmpl

And I needed to be in templatesMYTEMPLATEhtmlmod_jalogin so it wasn’t showing

I added the code under <input type=”submit” name=”Submit”…

How would I go about making the newly made My Profile button a link and not a logout button (which now it is) ?

i really need to get back into php lol.

Ah, didn’t realise you we’re using a template with an override. What page exactly do you want the button to link to?

I wanted to link it to a profile page for the user. I need to be able to edit it easily per user, so I’m debating on if I should use the default Joomla profile page or create my own. I’m thinking using the default Joomla page would be easier, So that’s what I need it to link to.

I have it inside the same div class to keep it looking the same.

Does anyone know how I would go about linking the new “My Profile” button in JA_Login?

@asnmedia: You can try with my suggestion

1) Open templates/ja_mendozite/html/mod_jalogin/default.php file
from

<div class="logout-button">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" class="button" value="<?php echo JText::_('JLOGOUT'); ?>" />
</div>

change to

<div class="logout-button">
<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_users&view=profile');?>">My Profile</a>  <input type="submit" name="Submit" class="button" value="<?php echo JText::_('JLOGOUT'); ?>" />
</div>
2) You can configure from back-end JA Login Module, see the screenshot

I tried your suggestion, with one issue. It’s hard to explain so I’ll just attach a photo.

EDIT:

I fixed the button. I created a new div class. All I need is to send the button to profile page. it still acts like a log out button.

Could it be because of the top part <?php if($type == ‘logout’) : ?>

Heres what it looks like so far.
