Check if user session is active was created by andbal2

Hi, i used Joomla and JFBConnect to develop Facebook Application. I need to define access to application in this 3 cases:
1. new users click facebook login (a page without menu or other links) to confirm data and using jfbconnect redirect to a page with menu (home) OK
2. users registered and not connected (like point 1) OK
3. for users registered and already connected i have an issue because there isn't a redirect and in same time they don't have menu or other link. for this reason would be great have a checking if user is connected and just in this case redirect to home

tx, best regards

Just to make sure, #1 and #2 are covered. You just need help with #3?

Regarding #3, how are the user's "registered and connected"? When they get to that landing page, how are they already logged in that didn't perform a redirect? I guess I'm not understanding the issue very well. JFBConnect will always redirect the user when the login, whether it's with the button or with the auto-login feature. So, if they're redirected, how do they get to that page?

Thanks,
Alex

That's not something we'd implement in JFBConnect. Since you're basically just looking to redirect users that are logged into your site (whether through Facebook/JFBConnect or Joomla) to a new page, it's really not a JFBConnect-specific issue.

I'm not sure if there are plugins out there that do this already. If not, the only code you'd need is:

if (!JFactory::getUser->guest)
   JFactory::getApplication->redirect('index.php?option=.....');

You could use a custom PHP module for that, like Flexi Custom Code

Hope that helps,
Alex
