It usually looks like this:

The parentheses are hard coded but they can be removed without any problems as far as I have seen.

Find your weblib.php file.

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:

For example, to make a line break between the ‘logged in as’ text and the ‘logout’ link, do the following:

Before:

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 created a class called ‘loginlogout’  which I applied to the login/logout link strings – a background color and some padding which gives the links some ‘oomph.’

Wondering what “Moodle” is?  Go to moodle.org for a primer and a friendly user community. When I get some more time, I will post more tips and tricks I have learned in my experiences working with Moodle.

Note that the modification to the login works with Moodle 1.8 and 1.9. I can’t vouch for other versions.

For added goodness, here is a plugin that will show post, page, and category ID’s in your WordPress admin. Plus, you can designate what user levels are allowed to see them.

It’s called (drumroll…):  Reveal IDs for WP-Admin

A code snippet/tidbit for WordPress: You can have ‘current’ highlighted states for page items in a menu (“current_page_item”), but did you know there is a class in WordPress that you can use for current category items? It is called “current-cat” and here is an example of how to use it.

<?php if (is_category('CATEGORY-NAME') || in_category('#') && !is_home()) : ?> class="current-cat"<?php endif; ?>>

Translation: if this is the current category (referenced by name), and/or the current post belongs to that category (referenced by number), AND,(deep breath) it is NOT the home page, then highlight the link using the ‘current category’ class.

You can add the ‘current-cat’ class to your stylesheet and give it whatever color and background styling is appropriate for your theme.

There is a great plugin that will do this for you: Kahi’s Used Categories Plugin

I must be not getting enough sleep because I first thought it said “used cars plugin.” I am sure there is a plugin for that too. If not, I guess I should start writing it!
