Want some help for guests


My forum is open forum ie. everyboby without logged in can view posts ....

But i want fields like Search :: Memberlist :: Usergroups :: Profile to be seen only to members logged in ie guest cant view them and if they click in anyone of them it will ask to login


Can anyone help

In overall_header.tpl, sandwich the links you do not want guests to see between the switches:

<!-- BEGIN switch_user_logged_in -->
<!-- END switch_user_logged_in -->

These switches must be by themselves on their own separate lines.

what do u mean by sandwich the links

anyway what about others the other ones

Like this, for example:

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN switch_user_logged_in -->

         <br />
         &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="{U_MEMBERLIST}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_members.gif" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_MEMBERLIST}" hspace="3" />{L_MEMBERLIST}</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="{U_GROUP_CP}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_groups.gif" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_USERGROUPS}" hspace="3" />{L_USERGROUPS}</a>&nbsp;

<!-- END switch_user_logged_in -->

That hides the Usergroups and Memberlist links. Do the same for whichever ones you want to hide.

i dont want to actually hide them completely from guests but show them when they click memberlist or etc etc then it will ask the user/guest to log in first to view it

OK, you want the links visible but they are redirected to a Message that tells them they must register?

You would do that in the applicable .php file. For example, for the Member list:

Code: Select all

#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#

memberlist.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
 
//
// End session management
//

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------
#

// Begin 'Restrict Access'
if ( !$userdata['session_logged_in'] )
{
message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $lang['Not_Authorised']);
}
   
// End 'Restrict Access'

You can substitute some other message by either defining it as a $lang entry in the /languages/lang_english/lang_main.php file, or by editing the existing text associated with the existing $lang['Not_Authorised'] = entry in that file. Oh, and correct its spelling while you're there to "Authorized.

Proceed similarly for the other links

[Algore]

// Begin 'Restrict Access'
if ( !$userdata['session_logged_in'] )
{
message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $lang['Not_Authorised']);
}

// End 'Restrict Access'

I got it but instead of Not_Authorised can it redirct to login page



and hpe these will help for rest also

pls solve the issue ...

thanks for helping me buddy

[Algore]

pls kindly resolve the issue pls

[stevemaury]

OK if I eat lunch first? There is a 6-hour bump rule in any event. Or, maybe I don't know the answer.

Good Luck with this.

You could just replace that line with a simple redirect:

Code: Select all

header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/phpbb/login.php' );
