Adding A Class To A Drupal Theme For Logged In Users
I was working on a Drupal theme recently which required a number of different elements to be present on a number of different pages, but only for logged in users.
Using a little PHP I was able to add a class of 'in' to the body which would only appear in the html when a user was logged in.
To do this, just find the opening <body> tag in your page.tpl.php file, and add in the code below.
<body<?php global $user; ?><?php if ($user->uid): ?> class="in"<?php endif; ?>>Then, you'll be able to write a general rule for logged out users, such as:
body {
background: #fff;
}And a more specific rule for logged in users, such as:
body.in {
background: #000;

How simple can things be?
Great post!

Pretty cool. Anyone have any examples where this would be useful? I know that the Zen theme comes with this as well.
This seems like a slick and simple solution, but isn't there a potential security risk to making the $user variable global? I've seen this example in several other places, but no one has addressed the security angle.
do you know what i would need to do to allow loged in users the ability to see a "form" that has been written in html? It's a form that allows the user to log into there email address and right now i have to re direct the user to another site.
Hi Michael, where is the form exactly?
gr8 post. Its like cutting a birthday cake
This is exactly what i'd like to do. I tried it and it works... sort of.
I'm using the pixture-reloaded theme, the body tag looks like this:
<body id="pixture-reloaded" class="<?php print $body_classes; ?> <?php print $logo ? 'with-logo' : 'no-logo' ; ?>">I then add the if-statement like this:
<body <?php global $user; ?><?php if ($user->uid): ?> class="in"<?php endif; ?> id="pixture-reloaded" class="<?php print $body_classes; ?> <?php print $logo ? 'with-logo' : 'no-logo' ; ?>">Now things won't show up the way they should... For example, the content-area shows up behind the left sidebar, and i haven't even added any css for "in" yet.
What am i doing wrong?
