Damn this is a nice thread. I have the same problem as Inny has, that is no matter what "access" I give in the article category, member from all groups can still read the artice that I have made.

For example this I have made this article within a article catergory called DKP;

http://www.skyline-mmo.eu/index.php?page=3

If you check the DKP category I have chosen that only moderators and LS member should be able to read the artice yet even someone who is not logged in "aka guest" can read it.

I was thinking maybe there is a way around this until a bugfix is out. For the website that I use I have put a button called "DKP" that is hidden and will only show for certain membergroup. The code to do this in the index.template.php of my current theme is;

Code Select Expand

if (in_array(7, $GLOBALS['user_info']['groups']))
echo '<li><a' , $current_action=='epguide' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?page=3"><span>DKP</span></a></li>';

What this code does is that only the membergroup 7 is allowed to view this button.

So I was wondering if its possible to have something similar in a php artice, that way you restrict who can see the artice.

My second problem would be what I want inside the artice and my problem here is that its html;

Code Select Expand

<iframe id="myframe" src="eqdkp" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" width="100%" frameborder="0" height="1200">none</iframe>

So my final question here would be how to make a php artice to work with those 2 codes ?

PS: I use SMF 1.1.9 and TinyPortal v1.0 beta 4

When I view the page you posted as a Guest, maldave, I have this returned:

No news entries found.

Until a bugfix is made, we used to use something like:

Code (PHP) Select Expand



global $context;
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
{
echo '

This page is available to Members Only. ';
}

else
{
echo '

Members content Here';
}

The response that you got shouldnt be there so yes, it's a bug. Im going to post this on the Bug section as well so that Bloc can have a look at it

EDIT: I saw someone else already post a bug report about this ^^

[maldave]

But did you have an answer to my question if its possible to add html code to a php article ?

[Zetan]

Did you try it?

Code (PHP) Select Expand



{
echo '
<iframe id="myframe" src="eqdkp" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" width="100%" frameborder="0" height="1200">none</iframe>';
}

{
echo '
<iframe id="myframe" src="eqdkp" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" width="100%" frameborder="0" height="1200">none</iframe>';
}



Ok I tried and it it worked wonders You are the king Zetan. Here is the php code with the iframe code;

Code Select Expand

{
global $context;
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
echo '
This page is available to Members Only. ';
}
{
global $context;
if (in_array(7, $GLOBALS['user_info']['groups']))
echo '
<iframe id="myframe" src="eqdkp" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" width="100%" frameborder="0" height="1200">none</iframe>';
}

As you can see this will only show for group 7, and if you are a guest that tries to look at the article you will only get "This page is available to Members Only".
My followup question here is if you want group 7 and group 9 to be able to access the artice. I did the following change to code and it worked, basically added another global $context;

Code Select Expand

{
global $context;
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
echo '
This page is available to Members Only. ';
}
{
global $context;
if (in_array(7, $GLOBALS['user_info']['groups']))
echo '
<iframe id="myframe" src="eqdkp" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" width="100%" frameborder="0" height="1200">none</iframe>';
}
{
global $context;
if (in_array(9, $GLOBALS['user_info']['groups']))
echo '
<iframe id="myframe" src="eqdkp" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" scrolling="no" width="100%" frameborder="0" height="1200">none</iframe>';
}

Even though this works I'm feeling the the code is to long and that you can somehow make it a lot shorter then I have done it. ^^

I've been called many things... &@Ã,£^ etc..


have you tried

Code Select Expand



if (in_array(7,9,10,11, $GLOBALS['user_info']['groups']))

Yes I tried that but then it wont show anything. If I have only 7 or only 9 then it works. If I try to input more then one group i.e. 7,9 then it wont show.
