Hi is there anyway I can show people who are not logged in certain content?
Maybe like this:
<?php if($condition):?><ahref="http://google.com">This will only display if $condition is true</a><?php endif;?>
I don't understand the authentication process of Oxwall, although I have been trying to learn but it is waaaay over my head.
Any advice appreciated :-)

Do you need the function to check if an user is logged in or not? If so the function is
OW::getUser()->isAuthenticated()
OW::getUser()->isAuthenticated()

Hi Purusothaman,
Cheers for your quick answer.
Yeah kind of. I'm not too sure how you program a new function though that's my problem. I was hoping that maybe a html/php combo could check just to see if a session was active or not to show content.
For example: You're a visitor to the site you see this - Visitor content.
You're logged in to the site you see this - Member content.
I know the site does this already with things such as the sidebar etc, I just don't understand how.

Dean, use OW::getUser()->isAuthenticated() as your if statement, it returns a boolean value.

can OW::getUser()->isAuthenticated() be used in an html template file? how ?
I was hoping to do what Dean wants to do.

you cant use that in an html you have to assign a var to smarty first then you can use the var in the html file.

so like this
in the php file you would do this
even though it returns a boolen (t or f) falue i still like to assign it anyway.. just how i do it.
if (OW::getUser()->isAuthenticated() )
{
$memberonline = true;
}else{
$memberonliine = false;
}//close if else
$this->assign("memberonline",$memberonline);
and then in your html you can use
{$memberonline}
or include in if statement or whatever
