Ajax dialog if user tries to vote without being logged in (digg-like)

[elder]

Hello.

I'm working at a digg-like addon for my site that will popup an ajax login box if the user tries to vote without being logged in (rather than redirecting to login.php). Technically, it's Thickbox with minor modifications.

Now, I kind of need some help. In link_summary.tpl, after the line:

<li class="menealo" id="mnmlink-{$link_shakebox_index}">

I pasted the following line:

{if $user_authenticated ne true} {* show only if NOT logged in *}

then my thickbox code, which is nothing more than changing the "javascript:{$link_shakebox_javascript_vote}" thingie into an URL, and I thought it would work. The good news is that if I try to vote and I'm logged out, it works. It pops the ajax dialog. The bad news is that it does the same thing even when logged in. What the heck am I missing here? I spent the last 4 hours figuring this out (no, I'm not a pro) and still no results.

The website is www.wowtick.com (world of warcraft related). Right now it's live, so the buttons are on "default" (no ajax-thickbox-thingie). If you want to see the dialog, there's a "Test" link in the site's footer.

Thanks in advance.

{if $user_authenticated neq true}

maybe?

Tried that, no luck.

How about this....

{if $user_logged_in neq ""}

Now it's exactly the opposite: logged in users get the ajax, guests get the menealo(...) link.

Edit: I tried {if $user_logged_in eq ""} (it seemed the obvoius choice) and it seems to work fine. If I don't find anything wrong, I'll confirm. Thanks a lot, AshDigg!

Well just change it!

{if $user_logged_in eq ""}


(removed the "n")

Done that just before refreshing the thread here. Seemed the obvious choice. Thanks a lot, Ash, it works.

(And forgive the ones not so savvy)

No prob.

The next version of pligg comes with Leightbox. What I like about that is that the cursor will blink when you're in a textbox. I didn't at first realize that I could type in those textboxes.

I like the site, but theres no mention of pligg. Wheres the love!?

I'm officially ashamed of myself for that. It's solved now.
