Currently trying to dig my way around Prestashop, 1.6.1.11. I understand it a little bit but I wouldn't say I'm experienced.
I'm after a way to check if the user is logged in, which I have found examples for this elsewhere using .tpl files. However I need to action a response if the user is not logged in The thread I found is the reverse of which.
e.g. If user is not logged show element.
I found this line {if $logged} ..... {/if} , on the prestashop forums, but the thread is rather old and I'm not sure if this holds up as it dates back to version 1.5. I may be showing my inexperience here, but you don't know until you ask.
As a bit of background as to what it is specifically that I'm trying to achieve is to display a full width / height image with a sign-in element layered over top within the center.
I want to essentially give the user only one element to interact with and use to sign in.
I hope I have explained myself well enough, any help is appreciated. I'll keep looking and if I find anything useful I'll post it here.
Edit
So after some digging, I was able to use the following to get the function I desired.
<!-- Check Login -->
<div id="check-log">
{if $is_logged}
<a href=".." id="Logout" />Logout</a>
{else}
<a href=".." id="Login" />Login</a>
{/if}
</div>
This code should be placed within the header.tpl Theme file.
