There is no in between. If one is true, the other is false. <pre><code><?php if ( bb_is_user_logged_in() ) { echo "No ads for you!\n"; } else { echo "Here is an ad, buy now!\n"; } ?></code></pre>   You could also just check to see if they're not logged in like this: <pre><code><?php if ( !bb_is_user_logged_in() ) { echo "Here is an ad, buy now!\n"; } ?></code></pre>   The exclamation in front of the function says "if this is NOT true, then the if statement is true; continue.)

(I barely saw the "Y" in the "You are logged in" hiding behind my main content). So I guess that the code I tried before worked, only that it was hidden behind my main content so I didn't see it. Thanks. chrishajer on "Check if a user is logged in?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/check-if-a-user-is-logged-in#post-17314 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 20:01:25 +0000 chrishajer 17314@http://bbpress.org/forums/ parthatel can you post your code here? What function are you using to check if the user is logged in? Does it error out or does it just not display any content (if it does not error, then the function is probably a valid function.) And showing one content for logged in members and other content for other members is pretty basic PHP: <pre><code><?php if (bb_is_user_logged_in() ) { echo "You are logged in.\n"; } else { echo "You are not logged in.\n"; } ?></code></pre>   I'm 99% certain that is the proper function name, and the code will work. parthatel on "Check if a user is logged in?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/check-if-a-user-is-logged-in#post-17309 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:21:16 +0000 parthatel 17309@http://bbpress.org/forums/ That doesn't work when I add that to my Wordpress (it has integrated functions). Nothing appears when I added the code. Also, what is the code to display content if user is logged in, else (if not logged in) display some other content.

(At least I think not....not going to mark myself as BOZO to find out) Trent Mirce on "Check if a user is logged in?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/check-if-a-user-is-logged-in#post-5178 Mon, 05 Mar 2007 22:46:24 +0000 Mirce 5178@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Yes, macwise gave a better solution. I was thinking that FofR wants to show something when a specific user is logged. I am new to and I think that your solution is better. macwise on "Check if a user is logged in?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/check-if-a-user-is-logged-in#post-5176 Mon, 05 Mar 2007 22:27:18 +0000 macwise 5176@http://bbpress.org/forums/ In regards to Mirce's solution, I would think a more global (and simpler) solution would be this if statement: <pre><code><?php if ( bb_is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>; --PUT WHATEVER YOU WANT THEM TO SEE HERE-- <?php } ? ></code></pre> This way you don't need to find out WHO the user is (user_id), but simply whether or not they're logged in. I'm pretty new to this, though, so maybe Mirce knows something I don't? macwise on "Check if a user is logged in?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/check-if-a-user-is-logged-in#post-5175 Mon, 05 Mar 2007 22:21:09 +0000 macwise 5175@http://bbpress.org/forums/ are you running integration with wordpress?

I do not know the file that deals with user login but something like this should work: If $user_id = 4; echo "what ever you want to show to user #4" FofR on "Check if a user is logged in?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/check-if-a-user-is-logged-in#post-5169 Mon, 05 Mar 2007 20:19:36 +0000 FofR 5169@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I would like to display some content only when a user is logged into the forums, how can I do this in the template?
