[TYPO3-dev] How can I detect a logged in fronted user?

[Michiel Roos]

Bernd,

Thank you for this elaborate explanation.

I want to detect if a frontend user is logged in using mod_rewrite, not 
TYPO3.

I am having problems with this because the fe_typo_user cookie is 
allways set, even if the frontend user never logs in.

Kind regards,


Michiel
