Restriction of Guest access?

[rohanrohanrohan]

I have a large gallery and there are lots of guest browsing the thumbs, which I dont want.

I know hiding the cat names will not allow to see thumbs but i dont want this.

I  guests to see the category names but not allow guests to see the thumbs.

Is there any way to do this?

from first inspection of the code i guess i can remove the "if cats" statement in the home page and simply show the cats.

but am not sure. plz help.

thanks.

u can do it in two ways:
1. if u want only restrict the thumbnails and nothing else, u can do this:
in /includes/functions.php find:

Code: [Select]

"thumbnail" => get_thumbnail_code($image_row['image_media_file'], $image_row['image_thumb_file'], $image_row['image_id'], $image_row['cat_id'], $image_row['image_name'], $mode, $show_link),replace it with:

Code: [Select]

"thumbnail" => ($user_info['user_level'] == GUEST) ? "" : get_thumbnail_code($image_row['image_media_file'], $image_row['image_thumb_file'], $image_row['image_id'], $image_row['cat_id'], $image_row['image_name'], $mode, $show_link),

2. if u want disable also something else (atleast in templates), then u could do this:
in /includes/page_header.php find:

Code: [Select]

"media_url" => MEDIA_PATH,add before:

Code: [Select]

"notguest" => ($user_info['user_level'] == GUEST) ? 0 : 1,
After that u can use in your templates this format:

{if notguest}
...
whatever u want display if not a guest
...
{endif notguest}

in your case, u can disable the thumbnails by adding {if notguest} and {endif notguets} around the {thumbnail} tag in thumbnails_bit.html template

[V@no]

try this:
in /includes/functions.php find:

Code: [Select]

global $site_sess, $config;
replace with

Code: [Select]

global $site_sess, $config, $user_info;
then, find:

Code: [Select]

if (!get_file_path($thumb_file_name, "thumb", $cat_id, 0, 0)) {
replace with:

Code: [Select]

if (!get_file_path($thumb_file_name, "thumb", $cat_id, 0, 0) || $user_info['user_level'] == GUEST) {
this should disable all thumbnails from showing to GUESTs

yes, but u'll need new field in 4images_categories table in the DB.
then, do changes in /admin/  atleast two files, and again do changes in functions.php
but for now, the "dirty" way is do this way:
the line from my previous post:

Code: [Select]

if (!get_file_path($thumb_file_name, "thumb", $cat_id, 0, 0) || $user_info['user_level'] == GUEST) { replace with:

Code: [Select]

   $cat_array = array(xx, xx, xx);
    if (!get_file_path($thumb_file_name, "thumb", $cat_id, 0, 0) || ($user_info['user_level'] == GUEST && in_array($cat_id, $cat_array))) {
Replace xx with as many categories IDs where u want show icon for guests.

hmmm...thanks to SLL for finding, that all this already exist in /includes/page_header.php
u can use those tags in your templates:
{if user_loggedin} .... {endif user_loggedin}
or
{if user_loggedout} .... {endif user_loggedout}
no need do any changes in the code...
