Hi Gergely,
Please I am not sure of how to implement your snippet. I did try
but it did not come out right (The Logged in as {{ current_user}} came out
as text on the login page). The page with the "Sign in" and "Sign out"
links looks like this:
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
{% if (current_user.is_authenticated) %}
<li><a href="{{ url_for('auth.logout') }}">Sign Out</a></li>
{% else %}
<li><a href="{{ url_for('auth.login') }}">Sign In</a></li>
{% endif %}
</ul>
Hi Scott, when I used {% if current_user.id %} it still only showed the
"Sign in" link whether I was logged in or not. When I used {% if
current_user %}, it was now only the "Sign out" link that showed whether I
was logged in or not.
Cheers!!
