Users variables

I'm another cool improvement for my website and i'm stuck a little. I want to remove XOOPS Login block from my website at all and move it to theme file. I made this type of login to work, but i need to generate theme automatically according to user, which is logged on. I need these 2 types - anonymous (not logged in) and normal user (logged in). Which variables should be used?

When i'm using this:

<{if $xoops_isadmin}>
code_for_theme_to_be_generated_automatically
<{/if}>

it works fine - when i log in as admin, i see generated template. Log out - don't see it. it's ok.

But when i'm using these variables

<{if !$xoopsUser}>
xxx
<{/if}> (whihc should work as anonymous)

and

<{if $xoopsUser}>
xxx
<{/if}> (normal user)

it doesn't work. Am i using bad variables?

A little more explanation:

Actually it works, but if variable $xoopsUser is used, it's still used when i'm logged in as normal user. I mean, this code should be generated ONLY for anonymous, not for users. How to make it? Thank you.

Use $xoops_isuser instead of $xoopsUser.

Re: Users variables

Slightly different question, but - on topic... How to reach other user's info in theme? I want to show user's avatar, for example...

I have a different but related problem.

I'm writing a custom PHP block and i need to check whether the user is registered or anonymous. It seems I can not use Smarty variables while in this custom block, so i tried:

if ($xoops_isuser == 1) {
blablabla...
}

The variable $xoops_isuser does not seem to exist, as I've tried:

echo ($xoops_isuser);

And got nothing on screen. I really need a way to check whether the user is registered or guest. I've tried reading $_COOKIES for the session cookie but the son of a ... Internet Explorer does not delete the cookies after closing, as it was expected. I hate IE, but too many people use it, so i need another solution.

Any ideas please?

Don't confuse PHP variables and Smarty template variables. In a custom PHP block, use:

global $xoopsUser;
if (is_object($xoopsUser)) {


or

global $xoopsUser;
if ($xoopsUser) {

It works.

Again this forum saved my life.

BTW, i've read some about "global" keyword in PHP.net. It's a bit confusing to me, as the scope of the variables is different from ActionScript, which is the language I know most.

Thank you.
