I lost the log off option...
 

Hey there :)

I'm in the process of redesigning my x-cart boutique.
One of the major changes was to put the auth.tpl outside of the menu, in the header : http://www.exiledesigns.com/boutique/

As I did want the minimum in the menu side, I hid the authbox.tpl... But the problem is that the logout was possible only inside that menu box (?).

Is there a way to put the information "user logged in" and the log off button into the same bar where I put the auth.tpl stuff ?

Thank you very much in advance.

Yea, just use {if} statements to display one or the other. Have a look at hte way home.tpl displayed auth.tpl and authbox.tpl originally. Use that code.
