Require user to sign-in to add link

[esm]

In the add.php file down toward the bottom and just after

// --------------
//  main program
// --------------

add the following:

// mod
$users_obj = new clsUsers;
$users_obj->InitDB($dbServer,$dbHostname,$dbUsername,$dbPassword,$dbName);
$users_obj->table_name = "idx_users";

if(!$users_obj->GetUserAuthentication()==0){
    $back_url = urlencode("add.php?cat=$cat");
    header("Location: login.php?f=1&b=$back_url");
  }

What file is being modified here?

[esm]

ooops , I changed the original to show the file ( add.php )

[lordkinjo]

hmmm It works...
But they still will receive 2 different passwords. One when they are forced to sign up and one when their link is approved.
Also since it is a force register you may want to modify the login page to say. No Account? Register here...with a link to register.php.

Did you already work out the 1 account thing on your other post? That part will probably have to be done before this add.php mod is made...

How'd it work for you?

Lordkinjo

but of course it works

but seriously, I only test it for my situation and there are lots of different situations out there. so it good to see that others are able to get it to work.

it's working ok except I need make a modification to convert the email/username from the idx_user table to lowercase (or convert it to lowercase when the user registers) and I need to get the username from somewhere (environment variable, etc ) so I can pass the username and email to add_from.html to automatically populate those fields ( and make them non-readable probably ).

I think what you want is here: http://www.nicecoder.com/community/s...&threadid=1411

I did exactly as you advised and when I tried to add a link, it does require me to login but after I click LOGIN, it always arrive at NOT ALLOWED page regardless the category is "editor's permission required" or "no permission required". Anything you missed stating here?

[esm]

are you in the category that you want to add the link?

[pip]

Yes, I am in the very category that I want the link to be added. And, the I have confirmed that this category is configured to add links without requiring permission. Any idea why it doesn't work for me?

[pip]

Found the problem, ESM. Just need to rearrange the sequence of the codes.

[esm]

glad it works for you

Hi ESM,

Can you look at the other post that you responded earlier?

[esm]
