Article permission level

| Article permission level | February 13, 2008 @ 12:45pm | Hi,
I have a number of article teasers on one page that anybody can / should see, but want to limit the possibility to view the actual article to only registered users; and if they are not, they receive an error message "You do not have permission ...". Is there an easy way to set permission level to see article to > 0?
Thanks,
David

If you want all articles to behave the same, it's pretty straightforward:
inc-na-idx.php, line 36 should be "if ($Arguments2 == 'view') {". You could replace that with:
Code
if ($Arguments2 == 'view' && $UserLevel < 1) {
RedirectToLogin();
}
else if ($Arguments2 == 'view') { |
|
If you want to allow viewing of some articles but not others, it's going to get more complicated.

Thanks again,
David

Code
print "your message here"; |
|
in place of the "RedirectToLogin();" part.

You could do it one of two ways - either with a new field in the database (na-Articles table), that identified the minimum permission level (the current user's level is stored in the $UserLevel variable - such as 1 for basic members, 100 for admins, etc) - or hard code the various article ID's into the inc-na-idx.php file.

| articles with permission | July 31, 2008 @ 12:58pm | David~
The database option is doable to me as I am fairly comfortable with mySQLadmin. That said, I am sure that I can create a new field - but what to do after that? (yes, i am hogging your attention to teach me how to do things.)
any help is beyond appreciated. i am currently testing everything i can in the demo before getting the license and going live.
best,

There's really three parts to it;
1 - Min permission level stored somewhere (ie added field in db table)
2 - Ability to edit permission setting (either manually through the db, or alongside the rest of the article in the edit form)
3 - Determine whether person viewing article meets the min level required (in inc-na-idx.php)
Pretty busy with a myriad of things at the moment, but I'm happy to put something together for you if/when I get some free time. Entirely possible something like that will make it into a future version of FlexCMS too.
