   My site (MediaHug.com) has a small message bar at the top that reminds readers to register. I'd like to know how I can control it so that only guests can view the bar.

   :) Help much appreciated.

   I have something like this in one of the blogs:

   <?php
global $user_login, $user_identity;
get_currentuserinfo();
if ($user_login) :
?>
<div class="whatever">
<strong>Hello <?php echo $user_identity; ?>!<br />
</div>
<?php else : ?>
<div class="mydiv">
<b>Welcome! Hey, Login ... +your text </b>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

   Moshu - thanks. :P

   I've put it in to the code, and it does work well.

   <?php
   global $user_login, $user_identity;
   get_currentuserinfo();
   if ($user_login) :
   ?>
   <?php else : ?>
   <?php easy_announcement(); ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   Any way to trim it down a bit? I don't need to find the user's login name, I just need to block them from seeing <?php easy_announcement(); ?> when they're logged in.

   In other words, is it possible to cut the code down a fraction?

   The only thing you can take out (though I am not a coder!!! - you were warned:) - might be the user_identity.

   Well you could just ... try to cut out things and see what happens :D

   <?php global $user_login;
get_currentuserinfo();
if (!$user_login) easy_announcement(); ?>

   This topic is very useful when running PHP (using PHP-exec or another one) in a post, just to inform the visitors wether they are currently logged in or not, when you use the HIDETHIS plugin or a post restriction plugin.
   Example:
   
<font color="red" size="1" face="arial"><phpcode>
<?php global $user_login, $user_identity;
get_currentuserinfo();
if ($user_login) :
?>
You are OK!
<?php else : ?>
You are off!
<?php endif; ?>
</phpcode></font>
