Changing login/logout form to anchor

[keb1965]

Using J2.5.14 w/VM2.0.22a

In the shopping cart, the login form uses input fields to store the user data and effect a login/logout, however an input element does not adhere to CSS styling the same as an anchor. Because of this, I cannot style the login/logout buttons on the form to match every other button on the site.

I have considered creating an override for the login form that instead uses an anchor element. The following code seems to work. Are there any issues with doing it this way?

Code Select Expand


<?php echo JText::sprintf( 'COM_VIRTUEMART_HINAME', $user->name ); ?>
<a class="button" href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php'); ?>?option=<?php echo $comUserOption ?>&task=<?php if ( JVM_VERSION===1 ) { ?>logout<?php } else { ?>user.logout<?php } ?>&<?php echo JSession::getFormToken() ?>=1&return=<?php echo base64_encode($url) ?>"><?php echo JText::_( 'COM_VIRTUEMART_BUTTON_LOGOUT'); ?></a>

Url?

I managed to get CSS to work without modifying the underlying component, but thanks anyway.
