Use the Security Assist Show region behavior.

Select the Login and register buttons, then go to the server behaviors panel (Window -> Server Behaviors) Click the plus button and select WebAssist -> Security Assist -> Show region. from the list of rules, select the "Not Logged Into <your users table>" (where <your users table> is the name of your users table) rule.

Add your logout button and the logged in message, then select them in design view, and add a second show region behavior, this time select the "Logged Into <your users table>" rule

not showing name

the show region behaviour workd whereby when a user is logged in, in my header it shows the log out button, However where the log out button is, i would also like to display the users name. I know this is created dynamically but don't know how to do this. Please can you tell me how to do this. Thank you.

to show the logged in users name, you need to edit the authenticate user server behavior on the login page to have it store the name in a session variable.

on the login page, open the server behaviors panel and double click the authenticate user server behavior.

On the Sessions tab, Click the plus button and select the name column to have the name stored in a session.

on the page, where you want to show the name, go to the bindings panel expand the session collection and drag the User name session to the page.

Bindings

Thanks for replying, but the bindings is gonna be on the login page, so how can I get to be displayed on the header of every page from the template. How can I make this possible?

Kind regards

once set a session is available to any page, including the login page, in your site.

testing the session variable

Hi Jason,

Thanks for answering this question as I was going to ask the very same question! To test on my testing server with Jane Doe user, do I have to logout and log back in so the session variables will be set in the refreshed page?

Thanks, -David

yes, you have to logout, then back in in order to set the session.
