I have a DNN login/logoff control which isnt working properly. I want to therefore make my own using JS/JQUERY.
When the user is logged in the HTML on the page looks like this:
<a href="javascript:__doPostBack('dnn$dnnLOGIN$cmdLogin','')" class="SkinObject" id="dnn_dnnLOGIN_cmdLogin">Logout</a>
and when they are 'logged out' it looks like this:
<a href="javascript:__doPostBack('dnn$dnnLOGIN$cmdLogin','')" class="SkinObject" id="dnn_dnnLOGIN_cmdLogin">Login</a>
I would like to check if the cookie has been set, if it has then display Logoff link and if it hasnt then display the Login link.
Clicking on Login will check if the cookie exists (it should as Login was displayed) and take them to the login page.
Clicking on Logoff should delete the cookie and the refresh the page which will then change the link back to 'Login' again because no cookie was found.
I was using this as an example guide: http://jsfiddle.net/MadLittleMods/73vzD/
This is what i have done so far:
HTML:
<a id="dnn_dnnLOGIN_cmdLogin" href="Login">
Login
</a>
||
<a id="dnn_dnnLOGIN_cmdLogin" href="Logoff">
Logoff
</a>
<br />
<a id="see" href="#">
see
</a>
JS:
//set the cookie once user has logged in
//for testing purposes clicking login should set the cookie to 1
//clicking on Logoff 'should' set the cookie to 0
$('#dnn_dnnLOGIN_cmdLogin').live('click', function() {
var action = $(this).attr('href');
var cookie_value = (action == 'Login') ? 1 : null;
$.cookie('DNN-COOKIE', cookie_value);
return false;
});
// clicking on 'see' should bring up an alert box display the cookie value of 1 or 0
$('#see').live('click', function() {
alert($.cookie('DNN-COOKIE'));
return false;
});
