SMF user identify pattern

[asmith]

hey guys

 

I wanted to set my site like if the user login in the forum, he become logged in to the site pages too.

 

I was checking index.template.php of the theme folder of SMF, and from what i saw i tried to test it :

<?php

global $context, $settings, $options, $txt;

if($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
echo 'it is working!!!';
}
else {echo 'sorry';}
?>

it gave me "sorry" for both times i'm logged on forum or i'm not.

 

what's the problem with that ?
