+I was referred to this page from posting to the forum. I am also interested in being able to use user class and status to modify the page. I will try to put together a plugin. From what I can see there needs to be a few items in it.
+
+* It should expose a link to a dedicated login page that, once logged in, returns the user to the calling page, or at least the home page.
+
+* it needs to expose a link to a little json explaining the type of user and login status.
+
+* it should expose a link that logs the person out and returns to the calling page, or at least the home page.
+
+Then there would need to be a little javascript to use these links appropriately. I have little javascript experience but I know that can be done. I am less sure if it is possible to add this functionality to a plugin so I'll start with that. If no one objects I will continue to post here if I make progress. If anyone has any suggestions on how to modify my approach to code it in an easier way I'd appreciate the input. [[justint]]
