login/out problems

[Penfold]

I have the log in button in the navigation bar. which takes me to the login page.

Firstly, After entering the details I am returned to the home page instead of going to the catalogue page.

Secondly, when a customer is logged in the login button continues to show,
an there is no logout button.


Can anyone tell me why this should happen?

Hi Andrew,

Have you hardcoded your navigation links? It does not do this on a default site.
If you have hardcoded your own navigation links, did you use the NETQUOTEVAR variables for the link ie for login

<a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBLOGINLINK><img src="picture.jpg"></a>

If not, please try it like the above.

Kind Regards

Nadeem,

Many thanks for your reply.

My login link is hard coded, but doesn't use the NETQUOTEVAR: -

<B><A HREF="http://trials.actinic.com/cgi-bin/ss100023.pl?SECTIONID=index.html&SHOP="" TARGET="_self" onMouseOver="SwapImage('hnavb_login','login2.gif')" onMouseOut="RestoreImage()"><span class="actnav">Professional Area</span></A>&nbsp;|</B>

I will try your suggestion.

Will using your example navigate the user to the Catalog page instead of the home page, what should it do once the user has succesfully logged in?

Regards,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

No, if you want the above, then have a look at either this kb article or this one
