How to check if logged in in UI script

[Rosy14]

HI,

I want to check if the user is loggedin in portal. If not it will redirect to other url. In Ui script under Js inculde I added. For that I tried with gs.loggedIn and glideAjax, All are returing none.

var ga = new GlideAjax('sn_csm_uni_theme.CheckUserLoggedIn');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'u_user');
    ga.getXMLWait();
    var x = ga.getAnswer();
	
    if (window.location.href.toString().indexOf("sc_cat_item&sys_id") > 0) {

        var check = 0;
        for (var i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) {
            if (window.location.toString().indexOf(ids[i]) > 0) {
                check = 1;
                var url = window.location.href;
                url = url.replace('sc_cat_item', x);
                window.location.assign(url);
                break;
            }
        }
        // if (!gs.isLoggedIn) {
        //     if (check == 1) {
        //         var url = window.location.href;
        //         url = url.replace('sc_cat_item&sys_id', "sc_cat_item_public&sys_id");
        //         window.location.assign(url);
        //     }
        // }
    }

var CheckUserLoggedIn = Class.create();
CheckUserLoggedIn.prototype = Object.extendsObject(global.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
    u_user: function() {
        return gs.isLoggedIn;
    },
	type: 'CheckUserLoggedIn'
});

@Rosy14 

the line should not be in quotes

var CheckUserLoggedIn = Class.create();
CheckUserLoggedIn.prototype = Object.extendsObject(global.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
    u_user: function() {
        return gs.isLoggedIn();
    },
	type: 'CheckUserLoggedIn'
});

@Rosy14 

it means script include is not getting called

it seems your UI script is in scoped app and script include is in global?

share screenshots of both

try this and share the alerts

(function() {

    if (window.location.href.toString().indexOf("sc_cat_item&sys_id") > 0) {
		alert('Inside found');

        //    var ids1 = gs.getProperty("sn_csm_uni_theme.public.catalog.items.supplier").toString();
        //    var ids = ids1.split(",");
        var ga = new GlideAjax('sn_csm_uni_theme.CheckUserLoggedIn');
        ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'u_user');
        var x;
        ga.getXMLAnswer(function(response) { // Use callback function
		alert('response came' + response);
            x = response;
            var ids1 = "260c306c1b120110735464a2b24bcbf9,c7d7070d1b9e0110c068fb25464bcb1c,f337587f1b56c110c068fb25464bcb6f,a5ed80991b164110c068fb25464bcbf8,2fd17fa41b6559500f52a797b04bcb8b,becc89cf1b5191500f52a797b04bcb42,7cc998f31b96c110c068fb25464bcbee";
            var ids = ids1.split(",");

            var check = 0;
            for (var i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) {
                if (window.location.toString().indexOf(ids[i]) > 0) {
                    check = 1;
                    var url = window.location.href;
                    url = url.replace('sc_cat_item', x);
                    window.location.assign(url);
                    break;
                }
            }
        });
    }
})();

Hi @Rosy14 ,

undefined because 

var x; at this point the x value is undefined

by the time getXMLAswer's Callback is called and newValue(response) to x 

the line after the getXMLAnswer will get executed so x value stays as undefined. once the system gets response from server callback is called and actual value is assigned 

try this or one that was added by @Ankur Bawiskar and check

(function() {
    //    var ids1 = gs.getProperty("sn_csm_uni_theme.public.catalog.items.supplier").toString();
    //    var ids = ids1.split(",");
    var ids1 = "260c306c1b120110735464a2b24bcbf9,c7d7070d1b9e0110c068fb25464bcb1c,f337587f1b56c110c068fb25464bcb6f,a5ed80991b164110c068fb25464bcbf8,2fd17fa41b6559500f52a797b04bcb8b,becc89cf1b5191500f52a797b04bcb42,7cc998f31b96c110c068fb25464bcbee";
    var ids = ids1.split(",");

    var ga = new GlideAjax('sn_csm_uni_theme.CheckUserLoggedIn');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'u_user');
    var x;
    ga.getXMLAnswer(function(response) { // Use callback function
        x = response;
        if (window.location.href.toString().indexOf("sc_cat_item&sys_id") > 0) {

            var check = 0;
            for (var i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) {
                if (window.location.toString().indexOf(ids[i]) > 0) {
                    check = 1;
                    var url = window.location.href;
                    url = url.replace('sc_cat_item', x);
                    window.location.assign(url);
                    break;
                }
            }

        }
    });

})();

Hi @Rosy14,

Within the Script Include, the syntax should include parenthesis as shown below. I also assume the script is client callable. 

gs.isLoggedIn()

Additionally, I would not use getXMLWait (unless absolutely necessary - It not best or preferred practice).

Instead use getXMLAnswer() and use a call back. For more info around this:
