How to Display Login/logout and My Account?

Call me thick as two short planks, but I can't for the life of me find anywhere which tells me how to show:

Customer Log Out (once you're logged in as a customer, how do you log out again?)
My Account (I can't only get to it if I buy something . . . I'm sure there's another way?)
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Those all display automatically in Zen Cart when you install it fresh and clean and use the supplied template.

If you're not seeing it, then your custom template must have broken the original functionality.

Thank you Sensei

Yes, the cart had to be customised to fit into an existing website design.

What do you think my best option is now, given that I can no longer find the coder who did the integration?

Cheers

Post a link to the site here, and we might be able to figure out where that stuff went.

I can't tell exactly how the designer removed the header, etc. from your site, but I think your best bet now would be to install this Login Sidebox mod: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=154 and place it in the left column under the Categories sidebox.

OK thanks Steve
I can't see left margin and Categories, but I'll get someone on RAC to take a look at it I guess
Thanks so much for your help!
