hiding the 'memberlist'

[jamier]

hi there;

can someone suggest the best method to achieve the following:

I would like it so that the 'memberlist' can only be viewed by 'Administrators' (would like to hide the list from regular users).

thanks
J

Put this after the session_pagestart function in the memberlist.php file:

Code: Select all

if( $userdata['user_level'] != ADMIN )
{
   message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, "You have to be an Administrator to read this page!");
}

[jamier]

thanks MennoniteHobbit --- works a treat!

cheers

What do I have to change to only view the memberlist to registered users? I can figure things out for other member types but not for anyone who is registered.

[skuipers]

in memberlist.php:

Code: Select all

//
//Restricts access to page for logged in users only.
//
if ($userdata['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS)
{
   redirect(append_sid('login.'.$phpEx));
}

Add these lines just before // End session management

in memberlist.php:

Code: Select all

//
//Restricts access to page for logged in users only.
//
if ($userdata['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS)
{
   redirect(append_sid('login.'.$phpEx));
}

Add these lines just before // End session management

Can't manage to get it working for some reason it gives me multiple error messages. Will post them later I have to the board first.

Yes, I'm sorry, it's a MOD and I had forgotten

I use the 213812 MOD and it works OK.

I am getting this message when I try to open the members page:

and when I am logged in I get this message (followed by the memberlist)

Even when I change everything back to normal (I made a backup of the old file) I get the error messages.

I am confused

Did you apply the mod?

[boozer2k]

Euh no I did not, because I missed your remark....

problem is that I cannot download the mod due to a problem on the PHPBB site, its unavailable.

[David Palmer]

boozer2k,

From your errors (which mean that a .php file was trying to output data before the other scripts had a chance to process), my guess is that you inserted the mod code (suggested above) in the very top of your memberlist.php file ... it's important to place that code exactly where skuipers suggests, ie. right before the // End session management line.

Good luck,

David

[boozer2k]

Well I assume you mean this: (copied from line 20 and on)

define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = './';
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);

//
// Start session management
//
$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_VIEWMEMBERS);
init_userprefs($userdata);
//
// End session management <----------------------------------
//

I put the code just BEFORE that and I still get the errors.

[David Palmer]

boozer2k,

Okay, well that's good. One other thing that might have happened is your editor might have inserted a space between the beginning of the file and the <?php at the top? Check to make sure that <?php are the very first characters in the file (no carriage returns, no spaces, etc).

Hope that works!
