Re: would is_loggedin be better than is_anonymous?

[Mikeal Rogers]

I can see a use case where you use 'anonymous' as a kind of temporary account for users who access the site in some way other than the usual means. For example if a user gets an invitation to something, like an evite or calendar, an url could be generated that auto-authenticated them into the 'anonymous' account, which would mean they were authenticated but limited to a temporary anonymous account and would only have limited use. -Mikeal On Jul 14, 2006, at 2:53 PM, SmileyChris wrote: Hrm... Will there ever be a difference between "user.is_anonymous" and "not user.is_authenticated"? If not (and I can't think of a reason), do we really need to keep is_anonymous? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
