if/else statement for Guest viewer

[LittleRascal]

I am looking to see if anybody has developed if/else statement for a telling a guest that they need to login in, in order to view the seller details? Could anybody point me onto that direction?

Thanks, Dave

This if statement is in the layout template file.

{if $smarty.session.username<>'' || $smarty.cookies.username<>""}
You are logged in
{else}
You are a guest
{/if}

I think you mean you want to tell a buyer (guest) they need to login to contact the owner. Yes?

I thought so.

Here's what I do for my site:
In my showlistings templates I use the following code around line 20 just above this...
{* This section shows the listings in categories, search results, and user store *}

PHP Code:

{if $smarty.session.userlevel==5}
    <table width="80%" align="center">
        <tr>
            <td>Welcome Guest! Although you can browse all of our listings,<br>
            You must be registered and <strong>logged in</strong> to<br>
            see the seller information or contact the seller.</td>
        </tr>
    </table>
{/if} 


Then in my viewlistings templates I have this code around line 50 in it's own <tr><td> after the contacts phone info code.

PHP Code:

{if $smarty.session.userlevel==5}
<tr>
   <td>You must be logged in to see the seller or contact the seller</td>
</tr>
{/if} 


Hope that helps!

Why dont you just edit the user group so that guests (ie those not logged in) cant contact the seller? Or am I missing something?
