logintoboggan

Once again it seems there's a whole slue of ways to go about something in drupal. I came across this tutorial http://www.pasadamedia.com/news/drupal-7-user-login-and-registration and thought I would get your opinions on this topic, if possible. I've used LoginToboggan before, which this tutorial doesn't go into. In fact, that tutorial uses quite a few modules, including Facebook OAuth, which I'm interested in, plus some spam deterrents. Is the method and set of modules used in this tutorial "good practice" and "current thinking"?

Sometimes things that looks simple to do gets me into troubles.

In this case, the combination of Acquia Marina theme, logintoboggan block and secondary links.

Acquia Marina has the secondary links "hard coded" into the page.tpl.php, inside a place which is not a region. This make it "impossible" (without changing page.tpl.php) to add blocks to it.

Meanwhile, all I want is to give a nice "Hello $user->name | Log out" as part of the secondary links. Logintoboggan is a great module that gives this block, but I can't easily put it there.

I've modified logintoboggan to allow separate login and registration links for usability improvement. Please review the patch.
