Ok, so I’m trying to make a zone that shows one html code if the user is a guest. Otherwise, the other html code appears.
You can see the problem if you click that and see the top zone. It will show two things. My code:

<if $[current_user.is_guest] ='false'>

</if> code here
It shows either one even if you are a guest or a member. Could someone help me? Thanks in advance!

Use this:

{if $[current_user.is_guest]}
TEXT FOR GUEST HERE
{else}
TEXT FOR MEMBER HERE
{/if}

The main problem here is that template variables, such as the $[current_user.is_guest] you used, don't work on custom pages (which is where you're trying to get the code to work, according to your thread title). Template variables are only valid in the template they're for (some are template-specific, a few are somewhat global).

You'll most likely need to use some JS to accomplish what you want on the page. You can use pb.data('user').is_logged_in to see if it's a guest or not.


EDIT: I'll see if I can throw together a script sometime today that you can use.

My bad. Ignore my post.

Lynx - Global Variables do work on custom pages. The template variable being used is Global.

Thanks for the reply! But for some reason it’s still not working

It seems to show on the page (the code) but not actually trigger

The issue is putting it in a widget.

1. Edit the custom page and instead of the Visual Editor tab, click on the HTML tab.

2. Replace lines 2 thru 4 with this:

<div class="container">
   <div class="title-bar">
       <h2>About City of Cursed Godes</h2></div>
 <div class="content" style="padding:10px;">
{if $[current_user.is_guest]}
TEXT FOR GUEST HERE 2
{else}
TEXT FOR MEMBER HERE 1
{/if}
   </div>
</div>
3. Add your custom guest/member text and click the Save Changes button.

Scott, thanks so much! It worked and now guests will see a free to join section while members see a “what to do next” section.
