Hi philkin,

In this case what I'd do is to disable BOTH of the modules that you want to control, e.g. by setting them to a nonexistant module position or to menu items: none.

Then use exactly the code above, customising only the 101 and 102 to be the module ids of the 2 modules. The effect is that the 1st one will be shown when some_guy23 is logged in, and the 2nd one will be shown if he is NOT logged in.

Best regards,
Stephen

Hi Phil,

Oh, I see what you mean. If you are using the Pro version of MetaMod, you can do the following to disable a given module:

$changes->mod(102)->disable();

So the entire code block you specified above could be rewritten like this:

// change some_guy23 to the login name of the person you are tracking
$search_user_name = 'some_guy23';
$username = $db->getEscaped($search_user_name);
$query = "SELECT username "
. " FROM jos_session WHERE username = '$username' "
. " AND guest = 0 "
. " AND client_id = 0 ;" ;
$db->setQuery( $query );
$found = $db->loadAssoc();
if (is_array($found)) {
  $changes->mod(102)->disable(); /* gets rid of this module if it exists */
  return 101; /* and display this module */
}


Note that MetaMod Pro is the paid version. The mechanism I am suggesting here does not work on the free version, as the free version can only affect modules that the MetaMod itself includes (whereas the Pro version can affect any module on the page using the $changes->mod(XXX)->... mechanism).

I hope that helps,
Happy New Year,
Stephen
