Cheat Sheet: Users - MooDocs

[SirMoo]

This is a cheat sheet I'm compiling with basic PHP snippets for CHV. It's not fun to memorize all the code bits I need to modify simple things and since documentation is lacking, I've decided to compile my own. It's short now but I'll edit it as I go along. This one only covers user management.

 if(!get_logged_user()) {
}

Very easy way to check if the visitor is a guest or user. If the visitor is a guest (not logged in) then the action will be displayed. This can also be used in conjunction with CHV\getSetting('enable_signups') in the event that you want to only display information if signups is enabled. Though this will have limited functionality if you don't have signups on...

if(is_owner()) {
}

Easy way to make information displayable to the logged in user if it's their content. An example would be editable fields.

CHV\Login::getUser()["VARIABLE-HERE"];

This queries data from the logged user pulling directly from the database as well as a few pre-fixed replies that result in modified data. This is the single most helpful command for pulling user data. Anything that is listed in _users database can be used with this by dropping the user_ prefix.

Possible variables include: name_short_html username website image_count followers id
It's encouraged to use name_short_html over just name, but you can do what you like.

if(is_admin()) {
}

Very simple code to use to show only specific content to admin. Simply checks the data base for admin rights.

get_user()["VARIABLE-HERE"];

This seems to be pretty much be a variation on getUser(), but I'm not really sure the differences yet. It seems to have a list of predefined variables and not directly query the database. Maybe someone can shine some light on the differences between these two.

Possible variables include: url avatar facebook twitter website background image_count
