Anyway to password protect articles?

[Innocenzia]

Thank you! Is it possible to take it to the next step, and instead of showing different text actually adding different articles, in the existing article? So the guest will see one article, and members another, and the administrator doesn't have to go into the top-article to change the code, so that the guest-article and the member-article could be written by different people.
And taking another step further into it all, is it possible to add another article to all with admin-access, and another to a certain user. For example, i want to add an article only viewable to the member named Jenny? Is there some kind of list with all this variables written somewhere?  I'm sorry for bothering with questions but I'm trying to learn more about this and is trying to get it as easy as possible for my other administrators to change articles, and they would mess the php-article up totally I'm afraid.

No, thats not really possible. You'd have to refresh and redirect the whole page to make another article appear per user group.

Ah, I see. Thank you for answering my question.

What about the users whitout permission, what will they see?
There's no error message in the code..
Could I do like this:

global $user_info;

if (count(array_intersect(array(allowed groups), $user_info['groups'])))
{
   echo 'Allowed groups will se this.';
}
global $user_info;

if (count(array_intersect(array(not allowed groups), $user_info['groups'])))
{
   echo 'Not allowed groups will se this.';
}


Or is there a simpler way?

Users without permissions are guests. They will not see anything unless you specify something for theme  to see. You have some if statements for the groups. Add an else statement for guests.

Code Select Expand

else{
    echo 'all stuff here for guests if the user is not in a group.';
}

Now the articel just shows
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/simmarcu/public_html/Sources/Load.php(1870) : eval()'d code(209) : eval()'d code on line 11

Or help us help you by giving some information to work with. Preferably the code you are using so we can see the error you've made.

It would be a lot easier to read if you would use [ code ] tags, but it looks like you're missing a closing } in your first "if" statement. It should be

Code Select Expand

{
    echo '

}
