    Claims that adding a conditional to a Pocket can be done intheme:

    Adding a conditional so Pocket shown only to a user who is SignedIn
{if $User.SignedIn}
{pocket name="foo"}
{/if}

Adding a conditional so Pocket shown only to users not SignedIn
{if !$User.SignedIn}
{pocket name="foo"}
{/if}

    nice Anonymoose. Would have missed that entirely, it was posted on blog after this discussion post.

    @Anonymoose‌ thanks for sharing that here. I recommend tpl file based-theme's as you can have lots of fun with Pockets. By the way, make sure if you call pockets in theme you do not enable. This video I put out has tips for pockets and themes (for hosted) but it should also apply to Open Source:
