What properties are available in $user? Is email address always verified?

Posted by oddible on September 15, 2009 at 5:58pm

Struggling a bit navigating some of the documentation. Having some trouble finding out the list of properties available in the $user reference. Trying to get at the email address and find out if it has been verified. If the user changes their email address in 6.x does it require them to re-validate?

Thanks.

Enable php filter. Make a page node, contents:

<?php
  print '<pre>';
  global $user;
  var_dump($user);
  print '</pre>';
?>

Select PHP as the input format

The page will show you what a user object looks like. Unless you have some module like logintoboggan installed, an authenticated user role means the email has been verified.

what's available in $user will vary depending on the context and enabled modules. The easiest way to see what's available is to do something like:

global $user;
print "<pre>";
print_r($user);
print "</pre>";

If you use the devel module you can get a much friendlier output using 'dsm($user);' instead.

I'm not sure how to know if the email verification process has been completed-- I would think if you require verification and there's a login and/or access timestamp it's been verified but I'm not positive.

And no, afaik, changing email does not trigger a revalidation.
