Question

Hy,

I have managed to make a top menu bar in Zend Framework and the code is placed in layouts/scripts/layout.phtml, and i have the followind items: Item1, Item2, Item3, Login, Register. What i want is that when somebody logs in, to change the last 2 elements, replace Login and Register with Logout. Can someone help me with something please? I readed something about placeholders, but i don`t understand them clearly.

Thank you.

Since it sounds like you are using a view-script (rather Zend_Navigation) for your menu, it should relatively straightforward to include a check as follows right in layouts/scripts/layout.phtml:

// Render your static menu elements
// render, render

// Now handle the dynamic part
if (!Zend_Auth::getInstance()->hasIdentity()){
    // Render the `Register` and `Login` links.
} else {
    // Render your `Logout` link.
}
