Login link as a graphic?

[jmedinger]

Is it possible to change the text that Actinic inserts for NETQUOTEVAR:LOGINLINK (and similarly Actinic:LOGOUT_SIMPLE/) into graphics of my choosing?

I don't want to hard code the graphics in because when I use Actinic to generate the code, the relevent text appears in the same cell depending on whether the customer is logged in or not (a perfect solution except that I want to use graphics)

Cheers

The code for the login button is in prompt '1221' in 'Design | Text | Website | HTML'. (use the 'Go to' button to go straight to it.

<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" NAME="ACTION" VALUE="%s" onClick="SubmitLogin();">

I dare say you could change this to

<INPUT TYPE="IMAGE" NAME="ACTION" SRC="cart1.gif" onClick="SubmitLogin();"><!-- %s -->

For the logout link, go to prompt 217 and replace:

%sLogout%s

with

%s<img src=...>%s

Hi Chris,

This works great on the actual login page (replaces the 'submit' button) and also on the logout button.

I would also like to change the text that is input for ID 209 ('Login') into a graphic. Can I simply replace the text, 'Login' with something like

<img src="login1.gif" border="0">

Or does it need to be more complex than that?

I don't know.

What are you actually wanting to do?

[jmedinger]

At the moment, when I use NETQUOTEVAR:LOGINLINK in the Act_Primary template, this is substituted for the text, 'Login' when published.
I want this to be substituted for a linked graphic instead of the linked text

In the same cell of the design I also have the code Actinic:LOGOUT_SIMPLE/ which your earlier post described how to replace with a graphic (which works fine)

The effect I am trying to achieve is that of the same cell being occupied EITHER by a 'Login' graphic or a 'Logout' graphic depending on whether the site visitor has loged in or not. (Gives the impression of being much more 'dynamic')

Hope this clarifies it!

Cool.

I see.

Change prompt ID 2183 to be the html for an image. You will need to copy the image into the 'PreviewHTML' folder in order for it to appear in a preview.

Chris,

That's worked a treat

Can't believe I didn't spot the second instance of the word Login further down that Design | Text list :-)
