Menu Item

Add login item to any menu

 

StranoWeb Ajax Login doesn’t add the login custom menu item to any menu by default. There are two ways to add it to any menu you want.
Once it has been added you will see something like this:

  3. StranoWeb Ajax Login menu items behave differently depending on whether the user is logged in or not:
    Login link: It opens the Login popup (or goes to the login page if popups are disabled). It appears as “Login” (Or any other text you have chosen), when the user is not logged in.
    It will show the Avatar and User First Name and Last Name (Or any other useful details you have chosen), when the user is logged in;
    Login link submenu: Any menu item added as its submenu is only visible to logged-in users;
    Register link: It opens the Register popup (or goes to the registration page if popups are disabled). It’s only visible to not logged in users and if Anyone can register option is enabled;
    Logout link: It opens the Logout popup (or goes to the logout page if popups are disabled). It’s only visible to logged-in users;

Customize the HTML tags

Optionally you can add some extra classes to the default StranoWeb Ajax Login menu item and dropdown submenu HTML tags, sometimes is necessary to fit your theme layout.
