Thread: Problem with dynamic welcome widget

Problem with dynamic welcome widget

Just went live with our Classipress site and already have excellent response.

On the home page (www.nantucket.net/classifieds) on the sidebar, the login/password fields just redirect to the login page.

I would like to either eliminate those fields and just send people to the login page with the 'Already a Member?' button
OR have the login fields work.

This is what I have in my child theme functions.php where I assume the problem exists:
------------------
function cp_dynamic_welcome_widget($optionString) {
global $user_ID, $user_identity, $user_level;
if(!isset($optionString)) $optionString = 'cp_ads_welcome_msg';
if ( $user_ID ) {
$smHomepageSidebar = '<h2>User Options</h2>';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<div>';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<ul>';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<li><a href="' . CP_DASHBOARD_URL . '">' . __('My Dashboard','cp') . '</a></li>' ;
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<li><a href="' . CP_PROFILE_URL . '">' . __('Edit Profile','cp') . '</a></li>';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<li><a href="' . CP_PROFILE_URL . 'change_password/">' . __('Change Password','cp') . '</a></li>';
if (current_user_can('manage_options'))
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<li><a href="' . get_option('home') . '/wp-admin/">' . __('WordPress Admin','cp') . '</a></li>';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<li><a href="' . wp_logout_url() . '">' . __('Log Out','cp') . '</a></li>';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '</ul>';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '</div><!-- /recordfromblog -->';
}
else { //if the user has no user ID then they are not logged in
$smHomepageSidebar = '<div style="padding-bottom:10px;">';
$smHomepageSidebar .= get_option($optionString); //cp_ads_welcome_msg
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<div style="float: right; text-align: center;">';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<a href="' . get_option('home') . '/wp-login.php" class="mbtn btn_orange">' . __("Already a Member?", 'cp') . '</a><br />';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '</div>';
if (get_option('users_can_register') || get_blog_option($blog_id, 'users_can_register', 0))
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<a href="' . get_option('home') . '/wp-login.php?action=register" class="mbtn btn_orange">' . __("Join Now!", 'cp') . '</a>';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<br />';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '</div><!-- /dotted -->';

//Create the Login Form
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<div style="margin-top: 10px;">';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<form action="' . get_bloginfo('url') . '/wp-login.php" method="post">';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<label style="font-size: 11px; margin-left: 1px;" for="log">Username: <input type="text" name="log" id="log" value="' . wp_specialchars(stripslashes($user_login), 1) . '" size="11" style="height: 10px; font-size: 10px;" /></label>';

$smHomepageSidebar .= '<label style="font-size: 11px; margin-left: 1px;" for="pwd">Password: <input type="password" name="pwd" id="pwd" size="11" style="height: 10px; font-size: 10px;" /></label>';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<input style="font-size: 11px; margin-left: 1px;" type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" /><br />';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<label style="font-size: 11px; margin-left: 1px; vertical-align:baseline; line-height: 2.1em;" for="rememberme"><input style="margin: 0; position: relative; top: 3px;" name="rememberme" id="rememberme" type="checkbox" checked="checked" value="forever" /> Remember me </label> | ';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<a style="font-size: 11px; margin-left: 1px;" href="' . get_bloginfo('url') . '/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword">Recover password</a>';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . '"/>';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '</form>';
$smHomepageSidebar .= '</div>';
}
return $smHomepageSidebar;
}
