Item User registered or not [SOLVED]

[SmaRTeY]

Hi,

I am looking for a helper function that tells me if the user of a item is actually a registered user or not.
I know the helper function "osc_user_regdate()" but I don't know if that would be the way to go.

So more specific, a user (either logged in or not) is looking at an item and that is the moment I want to have a check if the user that posted the item which is being viewed is actually a registered user so I can determine whether or not some action is allowed.


Thanks,
Eric

Okay, think I am having some brain freeze or something, I guess I should just use the helper function "osc_item_user_id()"....

Hi Eric,

This might will help:

Code: [Select]

<?php

    $user = User::newInstance()->findByPrimaryKey( osc_item_user_id() );
    
    if ($user['b_company'] == 0 or 1){ 
        echo 'Registered';                   
    } else { 
        echo 'Not Registered';
    }

?>
And to display user types:

Code: [Select]

<?php

    $user = User::newInstance()->findByPrimaryKey( osc_item_user_id() );
    
    if ($user['b_company'] == 0) { 
        echo 'Invidual';                   
    } else if ($user['b_company'] == 1) { 
        echo 'Company';
    } else { 
        echo 'Not Registered';
    }
?>

Hi Peter,

thanks for helping but actually the check on osc_item_user_id() is enough to determine whether the user behind the item is a registered user or not. In my case there's only the need to have a simple check on a user being a registered user or not, whether my user is a 'user' or a 'company' does not make a difference.

I do like the fact you thought about differentiating though

Thanks,
Eric
