James Ward	Thursday 08 December 2005 11:49:25 am I have 2 pieces of code on the same page which use the $current_user variable. In top.tpl (at the top of the page) I check to see if a user is logged in with the following code: {if eq($current_user.contentobject_id,$anonymous_user_id)} This check always behaves correctly and if I output the two id's I can see they are correct. Further down on the same page, included in another file I do a similar check in product.tpl. However this check always fails and if I output the ids they have no value. I tried adding # in front of the variable names in case of a scope issue. There is no mention of when these variables will NOT be available on the doc page: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/templates/the_pagelayout/variables_in_pagelayout Any thoughts on why these variables cease to exist? working at www.wardnet.com blogging at www.jamesward.ca
Łukasz Serwatka	Monday 12 December 2005 12:02:34 am Hi James, This variables are available only in pagelayout.tpl. What you can do in product.tpl is fetch current user and compare it with variable AnonymousUserID from site.ini for example: {def $current_user=fetch( user, current_user )} {if eq( $current_user.contentobject.id, ezini( 'UserSettings', 'AnonymousUserID', 'site.ini' ) )} . . .

Hi James,

This variables are available only in pagelayout.tpl. What you can do in product.tpl is fetch current user and compare it with variable AnonymousUserID from site.ini for example:

{def $current_user=fetch( user, current_user )}

{if eq( $current_user.contentobject.id, 
                 ezini( 'UserSettings', 'AnonymousUserID', 'site.ini' ) )}
