is there a simple way to tell if a user if logged in or not in order to call a external script (perferibly runs before headers are output).. i thought something like: if ($thismember->usergroup == 1) { require "/my/script/here.php";} at the top of index.php may do the trick but doesnt seem to work right..? would i be better putting it in the wrapper insted?

What you have is fine except that you have globalize a variable (like $thismember) to use it in template php (as mentioned in manual). Note that 1 is the guest usergroup so you'll be including the script for guests only.

ok.. i went with a different approach in the end.. i have integrated jp cache into wsn links by writing a small peace to read the cookie and then if they are a guest they get a copy of the site x hours old and if they are a logged in user it appends there session id to there cache file (so we don't get the logged in users seeing each others pages) Then i can set that from 0 to sec to hours.. seems to work a treat on larger sites at reducing load time. It also seems to slot in fine with all the mod_rewrite etc ok too, so it saves having to do html generation etc so rather then updating on a page edit/delete.. (not sure how to do that one yet) it just updates when the next cycle comes around Edited by barrykilby on 12/03/05 - 01:41 AM
