accessing identity in templates directly

[Karan]

Is there a way for templates to access the current context identity in
the template directly, without it having to be passed in from
controllers explicitly?

If you use the standard k_Template, the current context is available
in $GLOBALS['k_current_context']. I strongly recommend that you never
access this directly from within a template. Instead, create a helper
function. Like:

function identity() {
return $GLOBALS['k_current_context']->identity();
}

I tried exactly what you said, but i get a protected access error when i try to do $GLOBALS['k_current_context']->identity()->user(). I think it's protected to k_Contexts

[Karan]

Okay for the record, i realized the user *property* is protected, but the accessor identity()->user() and ->anonymous() is not.

Thanks for the tip.

Glad you figured it out.

Most (all?) properties are declared protected in the konstrukt code base.
