Joomla user login and menu problem?

Posted at: 2014-12-18 
You can do it very easily with ultimatewb. It has all those features built-in and you can customize It the way you want.

I am working on a project in joomla3. It is an event organizer website having frontend (website,template) and back-end (joomla).

Joomla has in built login module. It also has Main Menu and User Menu. The items in Main Menu are :

Home About US Events Gallery Members Contact US

The "Members" menu items links to the login module of joomla, so initially, when the user clicks on it, the login form is displayed and the user can login- this is working fine.

What i want to achieve is that all the menu items from Main Menu should be visible to site visitors but when any user logs in, he should see all the Main Menu items and also a "logout" button in the top - along with the menu. This button should be accessible from any page.Something like below :

Home Home About US Events Gallery Members Contact US LogOut

Currently when i try, i see the login button only on the page on which i include the "login" module (Members Page). I want the user to be able to logout from any page-without clicking on the "members" page again in order to do a logout.

Also once the user is logged in, on the "Members" page, there should be an option for the user to edit his profile. I know there is a "user profile" item available in joomla which allows that but i am not quite getting that worked out.

Can anybody help me on this with the above scenario ?

Thanks
