ACNT and LOGN screens

[eliboone]

On our newly redesigned site there is a link on the nav bar called 'My Account'. www.jjdog.com (http://www.jjdog.com)
This link goes to the LOGN page so the customer can log into their account or create a new one. I just realized that when a customer is logged into their account and wants to log out that the 'My Account' link doesn't take them to the ACNT screen. Is there some kind of OpenUI token I could use that would take the customer to the ACNT screen if they are already logged in?

Also, is the code to create a Log Out link this?

Use the OpenToken shortcut drop downs to do a conditional if the customer is logged in, with the screen = ACNT.

And no, the syntax is ACTION=LOGO the screen can be SFNT, or LOGN depending where you want to send them.

Hi Vic,

So would I insert the OpenToken shortcuts in the 'Welcome Returning Customer Logged-In:' section or on all of the ACNT sections in the Headers/Footers area? I selected the following from the drop down but am not sure if it is right. 'Current Customer' Start "If Customer Logged-In" Block' and then clicked 'Insert Short-Cut'. I am pretty confused as to where to put the tokens.

Thanks,

The conditional would surround the object that your link is from.

If you're linking the account button image, then the conditional would surround that, and based on the condition, either send the customer to login, or straight to the ACNT screen if already logged in.

Hi Vic,

Sorry to be a pest but would you happen to know any links to any Opentokens tutuorials, because I am clueless about what code I need to surround the link with?

Thank you kindly,

This link has the code already done for you:

Thanks Vic.

This is the code that I used

<td align="center">|</td><td align="center"><a href="%VAR(g.secure_sessionurl)%Screen=%IF(login)%OINF%I FEND(login)%%IF(notlogin)%LOGN&Order=1%IFEND(notlogin)%">My Account</a></td>

I made sure that the above code did not have any extra spaces, but the link is now treated like a non-link for some reason.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Eli

Did you insert %OUI% as the very first 5 charaters in the text box?

[eliboone]

I put the %OUI% code in front of the <a href like this

%OUI%<a href

Also tried <a href="%OUI%

but it still isn't working

Where are you pasting this text? Into which text box in admin?

[eliboone]

The code I displayed is part of the code that I pasted into Display Wizard Pro in the 'Enter HTML for Perpetual Header' section

Thanks,

[Vic - WolfPaw Computers]

Add %OUI% as the very first 5 characters in the Perpetual Header text box in DWP.

[eliboone]

I added the %OUI% code and the link started working. I don't want the link to go to the checkout login so I tried removing %VAR(g.secure_sessionurl) from the code hoping that the My Account link would just go to the regular Log In page but then the link wouldn't work. Do I need to add a bit of different code when I remove the %VAR(g.secure_sessionurl) code to make it go to the regular Log In?

Thanks,

Yes, change OINF to ACNT.

[eliboone]

Yes, I changed OINF to ACNT and now my code looks like this.

<a href="%Screen=%IF(login)%ACNT%IFEND(login)%%IF(notlogin) %LOGN&Order=1%IFEND(notlogin)%">

However the link is not clickable.

Thanks,

[Vic - WolfPaw Computers]

Paste my original code back in, and ONLY change OINF to ACNT.

You're missing a few %'s and the URL variable.

Is there any difference between the Order: Customer Login Header (LOGN) and Customer Login Header (LOGN). The link works but goes to the Order: Customer Login Header (LOGN) which has my checkout steps image displaying in the header. I would like the link to go to the Customer Login Header (LOGN) that is not displaying my checkout steps image.

Thanks,

[Vic - WolfPaw Computers]

The difference is the Order=1 flag. Remove it or set it to Order=0.

[eliboone]

It is working exactly how I wanted it to. What a way to end the week. Thank you so much for your help Vic!

Cheers,

[Vic - WolfPaw Computers]

No problem.

Enjoy the weekend.

Okay Vic - you can smack me - what is the non-tokenized URL for the logout screen?
