Dynamic login/logout link in Primary Links

I think this can probably be done with custom theme page preprocess hood:

In the theme's template.php:

<?php
function THEME_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
    global $user;
    if ($user->uid != 0) {
      // code for the account and logout button
      $vars['primary_links'][] = "<a href=\"/?q=user\">Account</a>";
      $vars['primary_links'][] = "<a href=\"/drupal/logout\">Logout</a>";
    }
    else {
      // code for the login button
      $vars['primary_links'][] =  "<a href=\"?q=user\">Login</a>";
    }
}
?>

I don't know if the PHP code is kosher as I haven't try it yet.

Let me know if this work if you try it.

Or, if you don't need the My Account and Logout links to be in the Nav menu you could move them to the primary links. For the login menu you could use http://drupal.org/project/loginmenu.

http://drupal.org/project/menu_per_role may also be useful tho' the project looks pretty inactive at the moment.

I figured out a workaround that may be satisfactory to some.
Note! this will not give you log out as primary link...

I am setting up my site and wanted to get rid of the menu block in Drupal when log'ed in. As a user this is where I logout, but as admin there is an alternative:

I have the admin menu Module installed to make navigation on a remoteserver so much easier as admin. That menu has a logout-function when log'ed in.

What I did is to grant users access to the admin menu. When log'ed in they have the narrow bar at top of the site.

Note:
1) in User Management > Permissions > admin_menu module
access administration menu
- Give access to Authenticated Users (NOT Anonymous!)
display drupal links
- No access to anyone, unless relevant to users of your site

2) advanced_help module (if installed)
No access to anyone

Check the menu log'ed in as a user and add/remove permissions to your modules accordingly

When Anonymous, the standard login-form is displayed and no admin menu is available
When User, the admin menu is displayed at the top. For me the only link is Log Out Henrik (or Peter or Katrina)
When Admin, Full access to all administration and also a logout

You can probably fine-tune admin access to different roles. haven't come that far yet....

Not a solution as described - but a solution (maybe at least temporarily while in testmode)

see http://drupal.org/node/486618

This probably worked back in 4.6, but it definitely works in Drupal 6. Add a menu item whose path is "logout" and another one for "user/login" (go ahead, try it now!), and Drupal will only show the appropriate one based on whether your authenticated. Easy, quick, no modules.. everyone should do it.

Use float and div with some css to fit it into the primary menu spot:

global $user;
if($user->uid){
  print '<div class="loginlogout"><a href="/logout">LOGOUT</a></div>';
}
else{
  print '<div class="loginlogout"><a href="/user">LOGIN</a></div>';
}

in a block and place the block in the menu region. Then this css to plug it into the right place of the menu.

.loginlogout {
  float:left;
  width:100px;
}

the float left fits it nicely onto the existing primary links. (The "width" to have both login and logout occupy the same space.)

I just moved them from the tabs on the user page to my main-menu.

In a custom site-specific module add:

<?php
/**
  * Implements hook_menu_alter
  */
function mymodule_menu_alter(&$items) {

  $items['user/login']['title'] = 'Login';
  $items['user/login']['type'] = MENU_NORMAL_ITEM;
  $items['user/login']['menu_name'] = 'main-menu';

  $items['user/register']['title'] = 'Register';
  $items['user/register']['type'] = MENU_NORMAL_ITEM;
  $items['user/register']['menu_name'] = 'main-menu';
  
  $items['user/logout']['title'] = 'Logout';
  $items['user/logout']['type'] = MENU_NORMAL_ITEM;
  $items['user/logout']['menu_name'] = 'main-menu';
  
}
?>

So, no tabs on login pages now. I manually created these links as regular menu items as children of the login link.

None of these links will appear if you are logged in because the access callback as defined in the core user module. For example: the user/login path has the access callback of 'user_is_anonymous'.

Using the simple trick posted earlier in this thread...

For Drupal 7, "/logout" is invalid.

The links to use are:
user/login
user/logout

It should be built in.

This is used for primary links path:
user/login
user/logout

Still can't work out how to do this in Drupal 7. I'm using a Zen theme and I want to add four extra links to the main menu when the user is logged in. Can anyone help?
