In php:
if( $gBitUser->isRegistered() )
In smarty:
{if $gBitUser->isRegistered()}

Here is a code sample for your .tpl:


<?php
{if $gBitLoc.browser.client eq 'mz' or $gBitLoc.browser.client eq 'ie'}
    This browser is IE or Mozilla based!
{/if}
?>

the end.

Your best bet to creating a LibertyContent class, is to copy the SamplePackage, BitSample.php file and modify accordingly.

The best approach is to:

Modify the verify() function first, making sure each and every field is validated correctly.
Modify the store() function, ensuring data is stored in the table correctly.
Modify the load() function
Modify the getList() function
Modify the expunge() function

We have implement locale timezone formatting using BitDate() class.

For easy access, always use:


<?php
$gBitSystem->mServerTimestamp->strtotime(...);

and

$gBitSystem->mServerTimestamp->strftime(...);

as straight replacements.
?>

Inside Smarty templates, use the:


<?php
{$timestamp|bit_short_datetime}
?>

Other formats are:

bit_date_format
bit_long_datetime
bit_short_date
bit_short_time
bit_long_date
bit_long_time
bit_short_datetime

<?php
{if $gContent->mInfo.format_guid == 'bithtml'}
    This is HTML content!
{/if}
?>


<?php
{if $gBitSystemPrefs.tinymce_ask eq 'y'}
    This setting is 'yes'!
{else}
    This setting is 'no'!
{/if}
?>

Well...
First you need a package/admin/admin_package_inc.php file, which will look something like this:
{code}<?php
$formTinyMCEFeatures = array(
"tinymce_ask" => array(
'label' => 'WYSIWYG confirmation',
'note' => 'Ask before using the WYSIWYG editor tinymce when clicking on a textarea. If you disable this feature, we strongly suggest you enable HTML content format as the only content format and also disable quicktags.',
'page' => '',
),
);
$smarty->assign( 'formTinyMCEFea…


<?php
if ($gBitUser->hasPermission('bit_p_admin_cms')) {
    This user has permission!
}
?>

NOTE: if you want to exit and display an error message if they don't have permission, then:


<?php
$gBitSystem->verifyPermission( 'bit_p_view' );
?>

This displays a standard "You do not have permission!" error message.
