I've never done any php coding before, but I'm using a forum extension from chronoforums and I'm trying to add some php to the forums so that if the user is logged in it will display Welcome: $user and if not it will display a link Login/Register. Here is the code I tried, but it crashed the forum page.
<?php
$user = JFactory::getUser();
$status = $user->guest;
if($status == 1) {
$url = "/forum/login";
echo "<a href=\"$url\">Login/Register</a>";
} else {
echo "<p>Welcome: {$user->username}</p>";
}
?>
Error:
Fatal error: Class 'GCore\Extensions\Chronoforums\Helpers\JFactory' not found in D:\wamp\www\administrator\components\com_chronoforums\extensions\chronoforums\helpers\elements.php on line 72
