Frontpage guest Tweek

Hi guys,

Here's what I did.

I wanted to have a message in the community home page only for guests, however, in the page frontpage.guests.php I only have the login form.
I was able to achieve what I wanted putting the code in page frontpage.index.php however it is visible to guests and logged in members.

I belive the code should be in page frontpage.guests.php so when the user is logged in the message does not show up.

How could I manage to have a message only for unregistered users?

Thank you very muchf for you help

Hi

I believe that You can put it into template with checking if the user got an ID. Like this:

Code: Select all

if( $user->get('id') ) {
msg here
}


Hi Teitbite,

Thank you for the reply.

Actually I don't want it to be show to a specific use but to be bee shown to all users who have not logged yet, once they log in the piece of code I added is no longer displayed.

You gave me an idea with your if, I was wondering if I could put a if condition before the piece of code and check if the user is logged in, if yes then the code is not displayed.

Thank you

Hi

Not logged users will have user_id not set or "0".

Code: Select all

if( empty( $user->get('id') ) ) {
msg here
}


Should cover both conditions.

Hi Teitbite,

Here's the code I have:

Code: Select all

<?php if( empty( $user->get('id') ) ) { ?>
          <div class="greybox">
            <div>
              <div>
                <div class="introduction">
                  <h1><?php echo JText::_('CC GET CONNECTED TITLE'); ?></h1>
                  <ul id="featurelist">
                    <li class="icon1 first-item"><span><?php echo JText::_('CC CONNECT AND EXPAND'); ?></span></li>
                    <li class="icon2"><span><?php echo JText::_('CC VEW PROFILES AND ADD FRIEND'); ?></span></li>
                    <li class="icon3"><span><?php echo JText::_('CC SHARE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS'); ?></span></li>
                    <li class="icon4 last-item"><span><?php echo JText::_('CC CREATE OWN GROUP OR JOIN'); ?></span></li>
                  </ul>
                  <div class="joinbutton">
                    <a id="joinButton" href="<?php echo CRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_community&view=register' , false ); ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('CC JOIN US NOW'); ?>">
                      <?php echo JText::_('CC JOIN US NOW'); ?>
                    </a>
                  </div>
                </div>
              </div>
            </div>
          </div>       
        <?php } ?>

I've placed it after

Code: Select all

<!-- begin: .cMain -->
       <div class="cMain clrfix">

But when I add this code

Code: Select all

<?php if( empty( $user->get('id') ) ) { ?>
<?php } ?>

I guet this error:
Fatal error: Can't use method return value in write context in /home/xxxxxxx/components/com_community/templates/gk_style/frontpage.index.php on line 255 (Line 255 is where I have the if condition)

I've annexed the file frontage.index.php

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you

Hi

You've done it ok, but I didn't thought You want it at jomsocial style file. The code I gave You will work inside the template code. I will need ftp access to see how the user id is handle inside this.

Hi Teitbite,

I sent you an email with the info you requested.

Thank you

Hi

Can You please also send me the address to the page where I can see this error ? I cannot find it ;/

Hi,

I was able to fix the problem.

I replaced <?php if( empty( $user->get('id') ) ) { ?> by <?php if( $my->id == 0 ) { ?>

When the user is not logged in he sees the message but when he logs in he doesn't see it anymore, I think the problem is solved.

Thank you

Hi

It's good to know in which param the values are stored Thanks.
