Display message to unregistered users

[haider512]

hi ..i want to add a message to my download button for unregistered users..

download button is fine..what i mean to say when unregistered or guest clicks the download button it shows message to the user to register or login ..

its ok if it redirects to another page..and it will be alot better if its possible to display message box like using javascript
alert.messagebox kind of thing..

Any one any ideas how to do that..

Actually today one of user asked me how to download file.. i cant download file when i click download.. and there i told him that you need to register..

so what i mean to say, all users are not good with computers.. it will be better to display user their error that why they can not download files..that they need to register or login to able to download..


Help and responses needed...If there is any mod out here for this purpose..will b great to hear about that.


Kind Regards
Haider

H!

here can you see the effect Demo

1.) create a new file call it "please_reg.html" and store in your templates folder.

Code: [Select]

{header}
<div align="center"><b>{lang_please} <a href="{url_register}" target="_blank" onClick="window.close()">{lang_plr_register}</a> {lang_plr_or} <a href="{url_login}" target="_blank" onClick="window.close()">{lang_login}</a></b></div>
{footer}

2.) search in includes/functions.php:

if (!check_permission("auth_sendpostcard", $image_row['cat_id'])) {

and insert above:

  if ((!check_permission("auth_download", $image_row['cat_id'])) && $user_info['user_level'] == GUEST) {
    $download_button = "<a href=\"".ROOT_PATH."index.php?template=please_reg\" onclick=\"void(window.open(this.href,this.target,'width=300px,height=150px,top=200px,left=500px,resizable=0,menubar=no,locationbar=no,scrollbars=auto'));return false;\"><img src=\"".get_gallery_image("download_off.gif")."\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></a>";
    $download_zip_button = "<a href=\"".ROOT_PATH."index.php?template=please_reg\" onclick=\"void(window.open(this.href,this.target,'width=300px,height=150px,top=200px,left=500px,resizable=0,menubar=no,locationbar=no,scrollbars=auto'));return false;\"><img src=\"".get_gallery_image("download_zip_off.gif")."\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></a>";
    $allow_download = 0;
    clear_download_token($image_row['image_id']);
  }

    $site_template->register_vars(array(
    "lang_please" => $lang['please'],
    "lang_plr_or" => $lang['plr_or'],
    "lang_plr_register" => $lang['plr_register']
    ));


3.) search in lang/yourLang/main.php:

//--- Misc --------------------------------------------
//-----------------------------------------------------

insert below:
(deutsch)

$lang['please'] = "Bitte";
$lang['plr_or'] = "oder";
$lang['plr_register'] = "Registrieren"

(english)

$lang['please'] = "Please";
$lang['plr_or'] = "or";
$lang['plr_register'] = "Register";


that's all...

hm..
test it, in functions.php:

$download_button = "<a href=\"".ROOT_PATH."index.php?template=please_reg?w=350\" rel=\"popup1\" class=\"poplight\" ><img src=\"".get_gallery_image("download_off.gif")."\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></a>";
$download_zip_button = "<a href=\"".ROOT_PATH."index.php?template=please_reg?w=350\" rel=\"popup1\" class=\"poplight\" ><img src=\"".get_gallery_image("download_zip_off.gif")."\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></a>";


and the html:

Code: [Select]

{header}
<div align="center" id="popup1" class="popup_block"><b>Please <a href="{url_register}" target="_blank" onClick="window.close()">{lang_register}</a> or <a href="{url_login}" target="_blank" onClick="window.close()">Login</a></b></div>
{footer}

no it didnt work

will it work if i use this in funtions.php

Code: [Select]

<!--[if lt IE 9]>
        //your code here.. All IE browsers below 9 version will get your previous code.
<![endif]-->

<![if !IE]>
         //Your code with the pretty modifications..work in browsers other then IE..
<![endif]>

If you have more suggesstions please tell..and will this work if i use it in functions.php??

==========================================

EDIT :

Hmmm..not working..that only works in html..so i googled and found this..

     if ( eregi("MSIE", getenv( "HTTP_USER_AGENT" ) ) || eregi("Internet Explorer", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT" ) ) ) {
  // do something

}

but with this i can echo only.. if i use the download button code or anything. i get an error on IE?

is there anything in PHP which i can use like

if internet explorer

execute code 1

else

execute code 2


is it possible in php??

=============================================

EDIT 2 :

ok..i did this now and it some how worked..but having little issue with it??


     if ( eregi("MSIE", getenv( "HTTP_USER_AGENT" ) ) || eregi("Internet Explorer", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT" ) ) ) {
  // do something

  echo "<h5>This is IE</h5>";

}

else {

 echo "<h5>This is not IE</h5>";

}



but there is some problem..in IE the message appears 3 times like this.

and browser other then ie it echos the message 4 times??

what to do it dont do looping thing??

=======================================

Edit 3 :

Wow awesome Superb..superb..

     if ( eregi("MSIE", getenv( "HTTP_USER_AGENT" ) ) || eregi("Internet Explorer", getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT" ) ) ) {
  // If User is using IE this statements will be executed

    if ((!check_permission("auth_download", $image_row['cat_id'])) && $user_info['user_level'] == GUEST) {
    $download_button = "<a href=\"".ROOT_PATH."index.php?template=please_reg\" onclick=\"void(window.open(this.href,this.target,'width=300px,height=150px,top=200px,left=500px,resizable=0,menubar=no,locationbar=no,scrollbars=auto'));return false;\"><img src=\"".get_gallery_image("download_off.gif")."\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></a>";
    $download_zip_button = "<a href=\"".ROOT_PATH."index.php?template=please_reg\" onclick=\"void(window.open(this.href,this.target,'width=300px,height=150px,top=200px,left=500px,resizable=0,menubar=no,locationbar=no,scrollbars=auto'));return false;\"><img src=\"".get_gallery_image("download_zip_off.gif")."\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></a>";
    $allow_download = 0;
    clear_download_token($image_row['image_id']);
  }
}

else {
     // else statement will be executed if it is not IE.

 if ((!check_permission("auth_download", $image_row['cat_id'])) && $user_info['user_level'] == GUEST) {
    $download_button = "<a href=\"#?w=350\" rel=\"register_please\" class=\"poplight\" ><img src=\"".get_gallery_image("download_off.gif")."\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></a>";
    $download_zip_button = "<a href=\"#?w=520\" rel=\"register_please\" class=\"poplight\" ><img src=\"".get_gallery_image("download_zip_off.gif")."\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></a>";
    $allow_download = 0;
    clear_download_token($image_row['image_id']);
  }
