Yii - I want to show either “Login” or “Logout” in an HTML menu

Question

I am using a custom HTML menu, not the 'zii.widgets.CMenu'. I want to only show 1 list item

for the Login/Logout. I would like to use the code:

For Login:

 'visible'=>Yii::app()->user->isGuest) 

And for Logout:

 'visible'=>!Yii::app()->user->isGuest) 

Is this possible? Where do I put it? I have used the below code to display the user name when logged in and it works:

 <?= Yii::app()->user->name?> 

Here is the menu's code: Toggle navigation Brand

  <!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling --> <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1"> <ul class="nav navbar-nav"> <li class="active"><a href="dashboard">Dashboard <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a></li> <li class="dropdown"> <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false">Auctions <span class="caret"></span></a> <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu"> <li><a href="tbauctionitem/create">Add Action</a></li> <li class="divider"></li> <li><a href="auctionsearch">Search Action</a></li> <li class="divider"></li> <li><a href="tbauctionitem/admin">Manage Auctions</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <form class="navbar-form navbar-left" role="search"> <div class="form-group"> <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search"> </div> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button> </form> <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right"> <li><a href="login">Login</a></li> <li><a href="site/logout">Logout <?= Yii::app()->user->name?></a></li> </ul> </div><!-- /.navbar-collapse --> </div><!-- /.container-fluid --> </nav>

Something like this may work for you?

<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
    <li>
    <?php
    if(Yii::app()->user->isGuest)
    {
        ?><a href="login">Login</a><?php
    } else {
        ?><a href="site/logout">Logout <?= Yii::app()->user->name?></a><?php
    }
    ?>
    </li>
</ul>
