Display Login Status

Rails
1

I’m using salted login generator and would like my pages to display a
login status bar.

If the user is logged in I want it to show something like:

You are currently logged in as UserX (Logout)

And if they’re not logged in:

Login/Signup

Any ideas?

after user authenticated store ‘User’ in the session -
on the template it could go like:

<%= link_to_unless( @session[:user].nil?, ‘logout’, {
:controller => ‘foo’, :action => ‘logout’ } %>
<%= link_to_unless( @session[:user], ‘login’, {
:controller => ‘foo’, :action => ‘login’ } %>

or if u prefer more lines:

<% if @session[:user] %>
currently logged in as <%= @session[:user].login %>
<%= link_to ‘logout’, :action => ‘logout’ %>
<% else %>
not logged in <%= link_to ‘login’, :action => ‘login’ %>
<% end %>

but i guess u would have found out yourself…

Try:

<% if @session[‘user’] %>
currently logged in as <%= @session[‘user’].login %>
<%= link_to ‘logout’, :action => ‘logout’ %>
<% else %>
not logged in <%= link_to ‘login’, :action => ‘login’ %>
<% end %>

Worked for me with salted
