Non-Registered Viewers able to see Category, but not thumbnails

[Anarchology]

Hi everyone,

I have a couple categories that can be viewed by members only, but want it so that when non-registered viewers try to view it they get some kind of message saying they can't view the images without registering.

I know that under Category modification area in Admin Panel, I can make the categories able to be viewed, but the problem is that they can stll click on them and view thumbnails... but can't click on the thumbnails in order to view them.

How can I make a message pop-up or maybe a redirect when a "Guest" tries to click on a Category only for members to say something like, "You must be a registered member to view these images'????

Thanks in advance!

You can try this:

in categories.php find:
$cache_id = create_cache_id(

Insert above:
if (!check_permission("auth_viewimage", $cat_id))
{
  redirect("index.php?template=cat_error");
}


Then create a new template file cat_error.html and save it as templates/<your template>/cat_error.html

That worked like a charm. I put a little twist on it that might be an idea for anyone else wanting to do this. I simply added a redirect code to the new html file that points directly to the registration page.

I just put in the following below, but will be making the page a little more nice than just that code.

Code: [Select]

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html">
Hey V@no, your advice was great. I'm also wondering if that could be added to the "new image" thumbnails that show up. From the looks of things, they are just made so someone cannot click on them.

Hello guys, how do I change this function?
 
I would like the unregistered user could have access to view the thumbs up and when he click on the thumb to redirect the page to register, php
