Hello dear people,

I try my best to hide the .spacer-buy-area class for those who ain't logged in, i am aware there are multiple topics dedicated to this problem.
For a while i've been trying to get this fixed by following the given answers on these topics, though i can't get it to work is i would like.

What seemed to work for me is the block below:

Code Select Expand

<?php
    if ($_SESSION['auth']['user_id'] < 1){ ?>
        <style type="text/css" media="screen">.spacer-buy-area{display:none;}</style>
    <?php}?>

It results in hiding the right content, but after logging on it doesn't show the spacer-buy-area, perhaps i am missing something.
Perhaps the right answer is on this forum but i just haven't found it yet, in this case my appologies for posting.

Kind regards,
-Ioncap

Use Joomla API:

Code Select Expand


<?php
$user = JFactory::getUser();
if ($user->guest) { ?>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">.spacer-buy-area{display:none;}</style>
<?php }

Note that using CSS isn't a good way to protect content. Instead you should wrap the whole buy area with an if statement.

It works like a charm again!
