repeated error messages

[papalozarou]

Inside my plugin, there are four directory items. If you're not logged in, I'd like to show the same error message when you try to access any one.

 

I do a conditional statement to see if a user is logged in and if they're not, show the message. However, because this is a repeated message, I'd prefer not to have it in each of the submenu's code.

 

Example:

def SubMenuCode():    
   if Dict["Login"] == True:
        # return the menu
    else:
        ErrorNotLoggedIn
def ErrorNotLoggedIn():

return ObjectContainer(

header                 = “You’re not logged in”,

message                = “You need to be logged in to view the upcoming streams”

)

If I do the above, I get this in console:

2014-06-04 23:17:40,460 (10e204000) :  DEBUG (runtime:918) - Response: [404] NoneType, 0 bytes

If I try this:

def SubMenuCode(): 
    if Dict["Login"] == True:
        # return the menu
    else:
        ERROR__MESSAGE          = ErrorNotLoggedIn
    return ERROR__MESSAGE

def ErrorNotLoggedIn():

return ObjectContainer(

header                 = “You’re not logged in”,

message                = “You need to be logged in to view the upcoming streams”

)

I get this in console:

2014-06-04 23:20:01,950 (11250a000) :  DEBUG (runtime:1021) - Unable to handle response type: 
2014-06-04 23:20:01,951 (11250a000) :  DEBUG (runtime:918) - Response: [500] function, 0 bytes

I know it's probably something simple, but what am I doing wrong?

Figured it out, within seconds of posting (don't I look stupid now)

Solution:

def SubMenuCode(): 
    if Dict["Login"] == True:
        # return the menu
    else:
        ERROR__MESSAGE          = ErrorNotLoggedIn()
    return ERROR__MESSAGE

def ErrorNotLoggedIn():

return ObjectContainer(

header                 = “You’re not logged in”,

message                = “You need to be logged in to view the upcoming streams”

)

Brackets after the function name in the variable.
