Checking Yii::app()->User->Isguest From Template

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

I have a master template in:


protected/views/layouts/main.php

and I’m trying to show a “Logout” button if a user is logged in. However, from the template code (main.php)


Yii::app()->user->isGuest

is returning true even if the user is logged in.

Having said that, in my module’s view (protected/modules/mymodule/views/query/view.php), the same


Yii::app()->user->isGuest

returns false. Why isn’t the template picking it up and what do I need to do to make it so?

Thanks in advance.

Your code look correct. Try using the function instead:




var_dump(Yii::app()->user->getIsGuest());

That function will return if the current user is guest (not authenticated).

Yii::app()->user is documented here: CWebUser

Please show the specific code you are using for generating the Logout button.
