Need a bit of help with an if/else statement.

I'm successfully using {include file="elements/quicklogin.tpl} in my sidebar but I want the blue login header to disappear once the member has logged in.

See what I mean at mkclassifieds.co.uk

Username: demo
Password: demo

{if $smarty.session.username<>'' || $smarty.cookies.username<>""}
no login conent
{else}
...include the file as you have been doing
{/if}

Sorry John but the header still remains and with the text 'no login conent' beneath it.

Here's my sidebar code if it helps . . .

<!-- start sidebar -->
    <div id="sidebar">
                <h2>Search</h2>
<br><div valign=centre>{include file="elements/quicksearch.tpl}</div>
<br>
                <h2>Login</h2>
<div valign=centre>{include file="elements/quicklogin.tpl}</div>
        <ul>
{if $smarty.session.username<>'' || $smarty.cookies.username<>""}
            <li>
                <h2>Members Menu</h2>
                <ul>
        <li><a href="http://www.mkclassifieds.co.uk/userindex.php">My Account</a></li>
        <li><a href="http://www.mkclassifieds.co.uk/userfavorites.php">My Favourites</a></li>

        <li><a href="modules.php?mod=seller_store">My Store</a></li>
                </ul>
            </li>
                {/if}
            <li>
                <h2>Categories</h2>
{categories_parent}
<ul>
{foreach from=$pcat item=entry}
<li>{$entry.link}</li>
{/foreach}
</ul>
                <h2>Featured Ads</h2>
<br>
{feature_listings_horizontal number=10 cols=1 table_attr='width="100%" cellpadding="14" cellspacing="0"' td_attr='valign="middle" align="center"' style="border-top: 0px dashed #999;"'}
            <ul>
    </div>
    <!-- end sidebar -->

{if !$smarty.session.username && !$smarty.cookies.username}
	<h2>Login</h2>
	<div valign="center">{include file="elements/quicklogin.tpl}</div>
{/if}

I'm not sure if cookie and username variables are unset or empty though when not logged in or after logout. Give it a shot, if it works let me know.

Perfect! Thanks very much John, I appreciate your help.
