[MOD] Hidden / Password protected categories v1.1 (2009-06-30)

[V@no]

If you want hide subcategories, edit each subcategory and set it to be hidden.


To everyone who installed v1.0 / v1.0.1

In includes/auth.php find:

Code: [Select]

      if (!$cat_cache[$val2]['cat_hide'] || ($cat_cache[$val2]['cat_hide'] && isset($user_info['cat_hide'][$val2])))
Replace it with:

Code: [Select]

      if ($cat_cache[$val2]['auth_viewcat'] < $cat_cache[$cat_id]['auth_viewcat']
            && (!$cat_cache[$val2]['cat_hide']
                  || ($cat_cache[$val2]['cat_hide'] && isset($user_info['cat_hide'][$val2]))))
(or re-do Step 6 - only one step)

This should fix the problem with private categories visible to everyone inside parent category.

If you want hide subcategories, edit each subcategory and set it to be hidden.

It's still not working.
When i set the subcategories to be hidden i even can't see them after i passed the "Gästehaus"- entry  :

I don't understand what you are trying to do...you don't want show subcategories, but want to see them?

I don't understand what you are trying to do...you don't want show subcategories, but want to see them?

 nearly 
The Categorie "Gästehaus" is protected but I don't want to see the subcategories underneath,
after entering the "Gästehaus" everybody can see all Subcategories which are all extra password protected too.
That's it.

Maincategorie (=pass-protected, the Subcategories are hidden)
- Subcategorie 1 (=pass-protected, seen by everyone, not hidden, but password-protected)
- Subcategorie 2 (=pass-protected, seen by everyone, not hidden, but password-protected)
and so on............

[V@no]

Other words you want show subcategories only after visitors unlocked the parent category...In current version it's not possible, but I'll look into it.


[EDIT]
Try this and see if it works:
in includes/auth.php find:

Code: [Select]

          if (!$cat_cache[$val2]['cat_password'] && $cat_cache[$key]['cat_password']) //all subcategories also should obbey cat password from parent
insert above:

Code: [Select]

          if (!cat_pass_check($key))
          {
            $cat_cache[$val2]['auth_viewcat'] = ADMIN;
            continue;
          }

Good. I've added it as a tweak
Also added one more tweak which allows have parent category be password protected and subcategories don't inherit the password.

Hallo,

ich habe auf meiner Seite diesen MOD installiert.
Aber irgendwie kann ich nur als Admin die passwortgeschützte Kategorie sehen, jedoch nicht als registrieter User.
Mache ich etwas bei den Settings falsch?
Ich habe die Befugnisse für "Kategorie sehen" schon auf "Alle", "Privat" oder "Registrierte User" gesellt aber nichts ändert sich.
Hat jemand eine Idee woran das liegt?

Danke

[V@no]

Double check Step 9 - 9.x

[tennis-ecards]

Danke für die schnelle Antwort.
Jetzt kann man als registrierter User die Kategorie sehen und öffnen.
Ich möchte aber eigentlich dass JEDER die Kategorie sieht, aber sie nur öffnen kann, wenn er das Passwort kennt.
Eine Passwortabfrage kommt aber bei mir derzeit gar nicht.
Noch eine Idee, woran es liegen kann?

[V@no]

Sorry, but when it comes to human errors, anything could be the cause.
So, what should do is check every single step and make sure you did all the changes correctly.

ich habe folgendes Problem

DB Error: Bad SQL Query: UPDATE 4images_categories SET cat_name = 'Firmware', cat_description = 'Hier findet Ihr sämtliche Firmware Files für euer SE handy', cat_parent_id = 0, cat_order = 5, cat_hits = 31, auth_viewcat = 0, auth_viewimage = 0, auth_download = 2, auth_upload = 3, auth_directupload = 9, auth_vote = 0, auth_sendpostcard = 3, auth_readcomment = 0, auth_postcomment = 2, cat_password = '', cat_hide = 1, cat_image = WHERE cat_id = 1
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'WHERE cat_id = 1' at line 3

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at O:\htdocs\includes\db_mysql.php:190) in O:\htdocs\includes\functions.php on line 114

komischerweise habe ich das jetzt bei allem wenn ich was ändern will.

Check step 3, you might removed modifications from other mods if you simply replaced the whole line, instead of the part you were supposed to replace.

Hi V@no,

I like the mod. Already installed and works fine so far.

I have a question (suggestion) for you:

Guess you have more than 50 categories on your gallery. What is the easier way to know which categories are hidden/password protected and which not? To look for 1 by one it will cost a lot time (Time is money ).

I suggest the following:

When you click on category edit on the ACP, you get a list of the categories. After the name of cat you can put something like:

My fotos  (ID: 2)    [Open]  [delete]  [Add subcategory]   (Hidden & password protected)
My videos (ID: 3)    [Open]  [delete]  [Add subcategory]   (Hidden)
My friends (ID: 4)    [Open]  [delete]  [Add subcategory]   (password protected)

What do you think about that?
