"Welcome", "logout" etc buttons

Hi all! I need to put some “Welcome [username]”, “Not [username]?” and “Logout” buttons either on a page or hard code them in to my theme if needs be.

I’m sure this information exists already. Could someone give me a push in the right direction please?

Thanks!!

Hi Epix, thanks for your inquiry.

For the “Welcome [username]“ and the “Not [username]?” you can use PHP/API Constants, which you can find under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› PHP/API Constants.

You would use the S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_DISPLAY_NAME for this one I believe. I didn’t use the shortcode because it displays my username. ;) Below this constant there are others that you can use for the name of the user, username etc.

For the logout link check this from the WordPress codex:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_logout_url

If you use the logout URL, or the PHP version of the constants, please take into account that you need a plugin that allows you to execute PHP like Exec-PHP. That is if you use it in a page or post of course. ;)

Hope this helps. :)

Wonderful, thanks Eduan!

Still not getting email alerts from the forum :( hence my random batches of posts!

Excellent Epix!

Glad I was able to help. :)

About the emails not getting to your inbox:

• Have you tried checking your spam?
• Have you tried adding s2member@websharks-inc.com to your address book, and/or whitelist?
• If those don’t work, what email service do you have? If it isn’t GMail I suggest you change it to a GMail account and see if it works.
• Try NOT to use any free email services like @yahoo.com or @hotmail.com, these services are known to block emails in mass. It’s better to use your own domain name and a private email server; or a mail server that is not subjected to bulk filtering at the MX level. For instance, GMail is known to perform well, while Yahoo/Hotmail are known to block email at the MX/SMTP level, preventing it from ever reaching the recipient (spam folder or otherwise). Yahoo/Hotmail will block just about any email that comes from someone NOT sending you a personal message. They’re VERY particular about things, and it’s for this reason that many companies do not even accept these @yahoo/hotmail addresses any longer. Better to stay away from these if you’re having problems.

If none of these work, please tell me.

Hope this helps. :)

Hi Eduan, I don’t have any spam filters apart from outlooks default and there is nothing in my spam folder. My emails are set up with through our host 1and1…

Cheers
