gallery2 main.php user variable (check if user logged in)?

[smile]

Hi, I'm using gallery2 v2.3.

I want to use miniCMS module to be able to write articles in my gallery site. I have installed the miniCMS module and it works fine.

 

The problem I'm having is that front page is assigned a default article from miniCMS.

This frontpage article is shown by changing main.php file. By adding this code:

 

$rewritePath = (isset($_GET[GALLERY_FORM_VARIABLE_PREFIX . 'path']) ?
$_GET[GALLERY_FORM_VARIABLE_PREFIX . 'path'] : null);
$itemId = (int)(isset($_GET[GALLERY_FORM_VARIABLE_PREFIX . 'itemId']) ?
$_GET[GALLERY_FORM_VARIABLE_PREFIX . 'itemId'] : null);
$page = (int)(isset($_GET[GALLERY_FORM_VARIABLE_PREFIX . 'page']) ?
$_GET[GALLERY_FORM_VARIABLE_PREFIX . 'page'] : null);

if (empty($viewName) && !$gallery->isEmbedded() && empty($itemId) && empty($rewritePath) && empty($page)) {
$viewName = 'minicms.Show';
GalleryUtilities::putRequestVariable('view', $viewName);

 

While this code works fine as expected it disables the administrator from seeing root gallery, that means user created albums and permissions.

So I thought that I can use if statement to solve this.

 

if ( $user.isGuest == 1 ) {
$rewritePath = (isset($_GET[GALLERY_FORM_VARIABLE_PREFIX . 'path']) ?
$_GET[GALLERY_FORM_VARIABLE_PREFIX . 'path'] : null);
$itemId = (int)(isset($_GET[GALLERY_FORM_VARIABLE_PREFIX . 'itemId']) ?
$_GET[GALLERY_FORM_VARIABLE_PREFIX . 'itemId'] : null);
$page = (int)(isset($_GET[GALLERY_FORM_VARIABLE_PREFIX . 'page']) ?
$_GET[GALLERY_FORM_VARIABLE_PREFIX . 'page'] : null);

if (empty($viewName) && !$gallery->isEmbedded() && empty($itemId) && empty($rewritePath) && empty($page)) {
$viewName = 'minicms.Show';
GalleryUtilities::putRequestVariable('view', $viewName);
}
} else {
}

 

 

if ( $user.isGuest == 1 ) {

true part

}

} else {

}

 

If I reverse like this if ( $user.isGuest == 0 ) then the true part fires, if if ( $user.isGuest == 1 ) it does not. But the problem is if I login that makes no difference. So I think this means the problem is "$user.isGuest" the gallery2 can't understand this, the other part "== 0" or "== 1" just reverses the if-statement.

 

The only variable explanation I found is http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Themes:Reference:Variables

but it is for templates not php file.

 

debug shows

"Use of undefined constant isGuest - assumed 'isGuest' in"

 

 

 

 

 

I'm trying to exclude or include part of code into main.php depending if user is logged in or not.
