I want to be able to show a certain link, but only if a user is logged into the control panel. I’ve tried {if logged_in} and did a var_dump of $this->EE->session->userdata - but they’re empty if I’m logged into the control panel and {if logged_out} always evaluates to true. Is this not the proper way to check if a user is logged into the control panel?

Thanks!

Hi Johnny,

the global conditional checks whether a user is logged into the system. It doesn’t differentiate between control panel and front end

One gotcha is that you may be logged into the control panel at a url with the sub-domain of wwww but you may be viewing the site on the front-end without the www.

Can you share with us the template code you have tried so far

Ah! No need. It was the www issue. thank you!

Hi johnny.slack,

Glad that John Henry was able to point you in the right direction. I’ll close this thread now but please post again if required.

Cheers

Greg
