Summary

Usage

fetch( 'user', 'is_logged_in', hash( 'user_id', user_id ) )

Parameters

Returns

TRUE if the specified user is logged in, FALSE otherwise.

Description

This function checks if a user is logged in or not. The desired user's ID number must be specified using the "user_id" parameter. The ID number of a user is the same as the ID number of the content object that represents that user. A user is considered to be active / logged in if the last access time is within the range of the activity timeout. The timeout can be set using the "ActivityTimeout" directive in a configuration override for "site.ini". The default timeout is one hour.

    User number 256 is currently logged in.
{else}
    User number 256 is not logged in.
{/if}

Outputs information that reveals whether user number 256 is logged in or not.
