Re: Need good structure for page with login (2 views per presenter!?)

A working solution would be:
have a single presenter and a single view. And the presenter tells the
display using a boolean which UI to display. But I expect it to
produce very ugly code. Everywhere:
# if(loggedIn == true)

# show UI for both;

If you don't mind having the admin widgets/elements exist in all pages, but be hidden then this, pretty much. 

In your view:

showAdminUi(boolean isAdmin) {

   adminButtonA.setVisible(isAdmin);

   adminTextBoxB.setVisible(isAdmin);

   adminButtonY.setVisible(isAdmin);

}

Call it from your presenter. And hide the widgets by default (just call showAdminUi(false) in your views constructor) 

You could further improve this method using CSS and/or searching for the widgets/elements to be toggled. You can also group things inside Panel's and just hide/show them. 

There are certainly other approaches, but no need to overcomplicate it for a handful of widgets on each page.
