This bug is actually present going back at least to Mahara 1.10,
although it became more evident after we added the
$cfg->showloginsideblock setting in Bug 1434131 for 15.04.

Prior to that, the "Login" link was displayed at the top of the screen
if you're logged-out, you're not on the transient login screen, and
there are no sideblocks on the page. Presumably the coder who originally
wrote that, didn't realize there were situations where you could be
logged out and see sideblocks without also seeing the "Login" sideblock.

In 15.04, it became easier to create this condition, by setting the
$cfg->showloginsideblock to "false", which removes the Login sideblock
everywhere.

Title:
  No login link when "Links and resources" block is present

Bug description:
  When you set the config value to

  $cfg->showloginsideblock = false;

  and you only see the "Login" link at the top rather than the standard
  login box, you don't see the link if you have publicly available
  "Links and resources".

  To replicate:
  1. Add $cfg->showloginsideblock = false; to your config file.
  2. You'll see that you only have a login link at the top right on the homepage and not the login block.
  3. Add a link to the "Links and resources" menu for "Public links and resources" at /admin/site/menu.php
  4. Log out. 

  Expected result: Still see the login link.
  Actual result: No login link. You'll need to go to /?login in order to log into your Mahara site.
