MODS.DB9.DK

[being]

have installed the mod and works fine for the memberlist and index page

but how can i add task.php(the new to-do-list mod) as a special page, so only certain usergroups are permitted to access this page

please advise

thank u

First of all, I'm will say that I am not aware of how the to do mod works, but I'll describe the basic principle:

first you must add the page as a forum, to do this, you may make a
[ADD SQL] (like this)

Code: Select all

'INSERT IGNORE INTO ' . FORUMS_TABLE . ' (forum_id ,cat_id, forum_name, forum_desc, forum_status )
VALUES ("'.PAGE_TO_DO.'", "0", "TO DO PAGE", "TO DO Control", 1 )',

pay attention that this is taken from one of my db_update.php files, to manually add this, you need to substitude some of the code, if you are in doubt about what to change you sohuld not do it manually !
I asume that the TO-DO list mod, have a new entry in constants.php, witch look define a page number to this
"define ('PAGE_TO_DO',........"
or similar, if another word for PAGE_TO_DO, then you have to replace this in this tutorial

then you need to add some extra code to the page_header.php, witch will allow templates to not show the link to the to-do list

e.g.

Code: Select all

[FIND]
$view_pages_ary = auth(AUTH_VIEW, AUTH_LIST_ALL, $userdata);

[AFTER ADD]
if ($view_pages_ary[''.PAGE_TO_DO]['auth_view'])
{
   $template->assign_block_vars('switch_to_do_on', array());
}

now you need to surrender the link in the template (proberbly the overall_header.tpl file)
with

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN switch_to_do_on -->
and
<!-- END switch_to_do_on -->

finally you need to open the drop in file task.php
in the header of this file, you need to place a code like this

Code: Select all

[FIND]
// End session management
//

[AFTER ADD]
// Added for Extra permission MOD
// Start auth check
//
$is_auth = array();
$is_auth = auth(AUTH_ALL, PAGE_TO_DO, $userdata);

if( !$is_auth['auth_read'] )
{
   if ( !$userdata['session_logged_in'] )
   {
      $header_location = ( @preg_match("/Microsoft|WebSTAR|Xitami/", getenv("SERVER_SOFTWARE")) ) ? "Refresh: 0; URL=" : "Location: ";
      header($header_location . append_sid("login.$phpEx?redirect=task.$phpEx", true));
      exit;
   }
   $message = sprintf ($lang['Sorry_no_auth'],$is_auth['auth_read_type']);
   message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $message);
}
//
// End auth check
//

if you inside the task.php file need to specify if a user only may do specific actions, you may use the $is_auth['auth_post'] or like to detemen if the user are allowed or not

has anybody actually managed to add a new page with permissions so that only certain users/groups can see it, if so can you please explain a little better, i want to make a new page and get it so only certain usergroups can see it i got the,

Code: Select all

"INSERT IGNORE INTO ".FORUMS_TABLE." (forum_id ,cat_id, forum_name, forum_desc, forum_status )
VALUES ('-101', '0', 'PAGE_TVAONLY', 'TVAONLY Control', 1 )",

code to add from the shoutbox install, but still not sure the rest ?

Thanks in advance...

take a look at this
http://mods.db9.dk/viewtopic.php?p=10132#10132

it is a basic tutorial about how to add into search.php, the principle is the same with other pages.


about your SQL....

VALUES ('-101', '0', 'PAGE_TVAONLY'

the value MUST be a uniqe value, most pages have a special page ID defined in constants.php, you need to use this instead - if the page have no page ID defined, I would advice to add one. so, take any availble NEGATIVE value.
e.g. NOT -101 as this is used for shoutbox

define('PAGE_SHOUTBOX_MAX',-101);
