Action, if a specific user is logged in

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi!
I'm familiar with the condition if a registered user is logged in:

<?php
$u = new User();
if($u->isLoggedIn()) {
// do this
}


But what if i want to have a condition if a specific user is logged in, e.g. the user with id=23. How would i do that?

Would it also be possible to create conditions for specific user groups?

Thank you,
Michael

$u = uID();

Something like that. I'm not at my desk right now and can't remember it off hand...

Thank you,

but where does the id of the user in my example go?

just run another IF statement inside the first, like so...

<?php
$u = new User();
if($u->isLoggedIn()) {
   if($u == 1) {
      echo t("User ID is 1");
      }
   }
?>

Just clarifying a difference between a user object and a user id

$u = new User(); // user object for current user
$uID = $u->getUserID(); // then from that get the user id for current user

Excellent, thank you john, In my haste writing and testing this from memory (finally getting this stuff!!), I only tested it against "1" for super user and didn't realize I missed that line...

this works perfect now!!

<?php
$u = new User();
$uID = $u->getUserID();
if($u->isLoggedIn()) {
   if($uID == 1) {
      echo t("User ID is 1");
   }
   if($uID == 2) {
      echo t("User ID is 2");
   }
}
?>

And this will check if the user is in the "Administrators" group and then filter the personalized code by a set of user id's...

<?php
$u = new User();
$uID = $u->getUserID();
$groups = $u->getUserGroups();
$grp = Group::getByName('Administrators');
if($u->isLoggedIn()) {
   if(!$u->inGroup($grp)) {
      if($uID == 1) {
         echo t("Logged as User ID 1, administrator");
      }
      if($uID == 2) {
         echo t("Logged as User ID 2, administrator");
      }
   }
}
