Block scriptbox Help

[Alka-Seltzer]

Using the scriptbox, I would like to have some links that show to everyone and some links that only show to those who are logged in. How would I do this?

Unless you're just adamant about placing the links in the exact same block, you could make two blocks where only logged in members can view the second block of links.

Assuming that is not the case, and that you want to code the block in php, you will need something among the lines of:

Code Select Expand

echo 'public link 1';
echo 'public link 2';

if($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
echo 'member link 1 here';
echo 'member link 2 here';
}

This will only output the link if the member is logged.

Just to add a little info. Since you suggested that you wanted to use a scriptbox. You can't do what Ianedres suggested in a scriptbox. Only a phpbox block type will do this kind of check.

Thanks, will give it a try.
