Guest mode hack: ok, except the first time

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Hello,

To provide a guest-like mode, I used the piece of code from the 
ExternalInterface example:

<?php
set_include_path("backend/".PATH_SEPARATOR.get_include_path()); 
    require_once("external/MollifyExternalInterface.class.php"); 
    $mollify = MollifyExternalInterface(); 
    $mollifyUserId = 2; 
    $mollify->authenticate($mollifyUserId); 
?>

This code was moved to mollify/index.html then renamed as index.php. I noticed 
that the very first time this page runs, it still loads the login popup window, 
it only works at the second time and beyond. You can experience this after 
cookies are cleaned up.

I would appreciate a tip to prevent the login from appearing. Using the 
mollify.init option "show-login": false is not enough, because in that case I 
get a blank screen at first time.

If you put this very first thing in the page, even before the <html> tag, I 
think it should prevent login.

If not, refresh should at least do the trick, ie something like this (not sure 
if syntax is valid, just from top of my head):

if (!$mollify->isAuthenticated()) {
      print '<html><head><meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0"/></head></html>';
      die();
}

Thank you Samuli,

I tried your solution, it worked well locally but not remotely. To make it work 
remotely, I added 'usleep(10);' before checking for effective authentication.

By the way the previous code was inserted before the HTML tag.
