Hi,
For reason of authentication, I need to remove the "(Logout)" string at the end of the "You are logged in as foo.bar (Logout)" string in the header and footer.
Can someone please point me to where I can make the change? Moodle seems to generate this in the context variable $menu, but I can't seem to find where this is defined in order to remove this (Logout).
Thanks,
Fred
ps: I need to remove the "Logout" given a custom SSO plug-in, to avoid confusing the user...

Fred,
In this case, the parenthesis around the logout string are hard-coded, and the string doesn't have an id or classname, so you can't use css to hide just the '(Logout)' part.
You can hide the entire 'You are logged in as...' string by adding this to your theme's stylesheet -
.logininfo {
display: none;
}
(Note that you'll need to provide some other way for users to get to their profiles.)
Or, you can edit the code in lib/weblib.php, on about line 3442, in user_login_string() (1.9.2+):
$loggedinas = $realuserinfo.get_string('loggedinas', 'moodle', $username).' '.
" (<a $CFG->frametarget href=\"$CFG->wwwroot/login/logout.php?sesskey=".sesskey()."\">".get_string('logout').'</a>)';
Comment out the above line and add the following:
$loggedinas = $realuserinfo.get_string('loggedinas', 'moodle', $username);

Re: Need to modify the "Your are logged in as...(Logout)" link text

Hi,
Thanks for the useful info Ann. I am trying to style the login elements described above. Specifically I would like to put the Login and Logout pieces of text onto the line below the lines 'You are not logged in.' and 'You are logged in as: Name'.
However, both pieces of text appear as links within the div.logininfo. Neither of these links have ids so I don't think this is possible with CSS (I have just tried for several hours!).
I can't target them with CSS selectors because when the logout link is displayed it is the second <a> element within the div.logininfo.
In order to target them am I right in thinking someone will have to add ids into a PHP file somewhere?
Any info or help would be appreciated.

Re: Need to modify the "Your are logged in as...(Logout)" link text - Here is a solution

1) The parentheses are hard coded but they can be removed without any problems as far as I have seen.
Do this for all the code that refers to 'login,' 'logout,' 'switchrolereturn,' and 'loggedinas'
In my weblib.php this runs from lines 3477 to 3497
Remove the ( that occurs after the " and the ) that is just before the last ';
Original:
$loggedinas = $realuserinfo.get_string('loggedinas', 'moodle', $username).
" (<a $CFG->frametarget href=\"$CFG->wwwroot/login/logout.php?sesskey=".sesskey()."\">".get_string('logout').'</a>)';
After:
$loggedinas = $realuserinfo.get_string('loggedinas', 'moodle', $username).
" <a $CFG->frametarget href=\"$CFG->wwwroot/login/logout.php?sesskey=".sesskey()."\">".get_string('logout').'</a>';
2) To put a line break between login status (ie "You are logged in as..." or "You are not logged in.") and the 'login' link, you can add two br tags and appropriate php code:
For example, to make a line break between the 'logged in as' text and the 'logout' link, do the following:
Before:
$loggedinas = $realuserinfo.get_string('loggedinas', 'moodle', $username).
" <a $CFG->frametarget href=\"$CFG->wwwroot/login/logout.php?sesskey=".sesskey()."\">".get_string('logout').'</a>';
After:
$loggedinas = get_string('loggedinnot', 'moodle').
'<br><br>' . " <a $CFG->frametarget href=\"$wwwroot/login/index.php\">".get_string('login').'</a>';
}
Again, you can do this to all the code that refers to 'login,' 'logout,' 'switchrolereturn,' and 'loggedinas' to keep everything looking uniform.
BE VERY CAREFUL when editing. Remove the wrong parenthesis or forget to add a '. and you probably don't need me to warn you of how that will mess up your site.
Hope this helps you!
I have also been able to add style tags to my theme's css and then apply them to the php strings for 'login' and 'logout.' I didn't want to put that on here too as I know this all can be confusing enough. Feel free to message me if you have more questions about this, thanks!

Re: Need to modify the "Your are logged in as...(Logout)" link text - Here is a solution

Hi May,
Many thanks for your very helpful explanation. Everything works as you have described it.
I am trying now to hide the text: 'you are logged in as' and 'you are not logged in'. feel that this text is redundant. I would like Moodle just to show:
Login (when user is not logged in)
and
Username Logout (when user is logged in)
I have tried language editing: leaving an empty string but Moodle detects this. Whilst writing this post I had an idea to use a HTML character entity for a space  
This actually does trick Moodle but is a horrible hack! I do not know anything much about PHP at all (I am an XHTML/CSS developer). Is there a way to address the PHP variable 'loggedinnot' using CSS? I would then set it to display: none; using CSS.
Is this what you meant when you wrote:

Any advice on how to do this would be appreciated.
Many thanks

love the MS Word HTML output above :S
I presume you are looking for a hook? You can add a <span> with a class name where the double line break is above with out any problems. You wont be able to select a string with CSS across all browsers.

Re: Need to modify the "Your are logged in as...(Logout)" link text - Here is a solution

Hi Thomas, No you can't select a PHP string with CSS because PHP is run at server. What I ment was that you can create a new hook for your css adapting the above code.
So in stead of using this new adaption:
$loggedinas = get_string('loggedinnot', 'moodle').
'<br><br>' . " <a $CFG->frametarget href=\"$wwwroot/login/index.php\">".get_string('login').'</a>';
}
you would use
$loggedinas = get_string('loggedinnot', 'moodle').
'<span class=\"someClass\">' . " <a $CFG->frametarget href=\"$wwwroot/login/index.php\">".get_string('login').'</a></span>';
}

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for the clarification. I guess this is what May also meant. Whereas I was complexifying things by imagining that you could directly access PHP variables from CSS.

You could try wrapping your login code with a new set of div tags with it's own unique id selector and place it below the breadcrumb navigation in the header, and then format it via CSS file.
That's if I am reading your request correctly?

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to do the same thing, would you please tell which file from the language package do I have to edit to remove the "you are now logged in as" message.
Thank you!

Re: Need to modify the "Your are logged in as...(Logout)" link text - Here is a solution
by Richard Oelmann -
If you want to remove the message from your page, then I would suggest using css to hide it rather than deleting/editing it in the language pack as that would affect every theme on your site.
Off the top of my head (so you may need to check this yourself) I think its
.logininfo {display:none;}
but I can't remember whether its .logininfo or #logininfo (whether its a class or an id selector). You'd need to add this line to the end of your main css file in the theme - or on the customcss box of the theme's settings page if it has one.

Hi Miguel,
Just to be clear, this was an issue for me in Moodle 1.9. Our site has now moved to Moodle 2 and a theme which I based on the Aardvark theme. So if you were using Moodle 2 and Aardvark the hack below is not needed. I have pasted in notes I made at the time though in case you are using 1.9 and if so they may help.
To change the text: “You are logged in as” you need to edit the language files and the weblib.php
Language files:
Admin ->Language ->Language Editing ->Moodle.php
If you try to remove the text: ‘”you are not logged in” from the language file ie. leave a blank string then Moodle will detect this and prevent you from doing so, with a blank string error message.
To remove the text you have to remove the call to write this text out from within weblib.php
Weblib.php
Location is: /web/lib/weblib.php within your Moodle directory structure.
...as described in the above posts.
Hope this helps.
