Hoe to check visitors are a member and are logged in

Can anyone help me out. I would like to have NukePHP as a members section. I have a sizeable website [60 odd pages ATM] parts of which I would only like the visitor to see if they are a member and are logged in.

I would rather not go to the length of adding each page to the Content section, but would rather let the visitor have an access link through a custom block only visible when logged in, but that doesn't stop someone typing in the full URL to the directory.

What I need is I think is a small php script inserted in the page head to check the visitor is logged in E.G

Check who is trying to view the page,
Check
are they Logged_in, if true show content,
else
show a msg and link to log_in.

I have pored over the nuke site looking for clues on how to do this, but being new I can't figure out how to do it. Any help greatfully received, thanx for your time.

mainfile.php holds the key.

function is_user($user) will return true if the $user is registered.

function online() will demonstrate how to read the sessions table to see if the user is online or not.
