Hello,
i don't know if this has been described or mentioned before (search didn't find anything). But i think this is really important to know:
A lot of extensions check if the user is logged in by checking if a userId exists. If you are working with Seblod Multisites, the user ALWAYS has a userId assigned - even when he is not logged in. The reason for this is the way how multisites work - it uses the Joomla ACL for the different sites.
So, be aware to check extensions that have special features only for logged in users...

Hi Thomas,
Excellent advise! Thank you.
If you know some extensions like this would be nice to post them here to begin a list (and maybe contact author).
Regards.
Hello!
I think there are a lot of extensions that use something like "if($user->id)". It is the common way since Joomla 1.5. A lot of developers (including me) have used this.
The better way would be
$user = JFactory::getUser();
$status = $user->guest;
(I guess, that has been added in plattform v.11.1... true?)
Seblod sets the Guest status correct. If you are not logged in, $user->guest returns "1" (which means not logged in).

Hi Thomas,
