Niels, you posted this reply :http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=410631#410631 and I have your pre-loaded installed. Is it possible to add non-php pages to the extra permisions? I have a calendar an links page that are mods to the board, and they are not listed in the dropdown box.

[Niels]

yes, no problem
(I asume when you talk about a "drop-down" - you are refaring to the forum permission drop down list - rigth ?)

to add the calender mod :
first go into your constants.php, and define a page number (if not already done)

Code: Select all

define('PAGE_CALENDER', -77);

(you may assign any "free" NEGATIVE number)

afte this is done, you must add a new entry in the DB
like this one (snap from my db_update.php file)

Code: Select all

'INSERT IGNORE INTO ' . FORUMS_TABLE . ' (forum_id ,cat_id, forum_name, forum_desc, forum_status )
VALUES ("'.PAGE_CALENDER.'", "0", "CALENDER PAGE", "Calender Page Control", 1 )',

after this is done, you may configure permissions inside admin panel
to make these to work, you should add this to the page_header.php

Code: Select all

[FIND]
if ($view_pages_ary[''.PAGE_PROFILE]['auth_view'])
{
   $template->assign_block_vars('switch_profile_on', array());
}

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

in file
calender.php (or like)

Code: Select all

[FIND]
// End session management
//

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

if( !$is_auth['auth_view'] || !$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.$phpEx?redirect=calender.$phpEx", true));
      exit;
   }
   $message = ( !$is_auth['auth_view'] ) ? $lang['Topic_post_not_exist'] : sprintf($lang['Sorry_auth_read'], $is_auth['auth_read_type']);
   message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $message);
}

you may inside any template, where the link to the calender is, place a switch before/after the HTML code, so users only see this link if they have been granted "auth_view"

e.g. in the overall_body.tpl, something like this:

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN switch_calender_on -->
<a href="{U_CALENDER}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_calender.gif" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_CALENDER}" hspace="3" />{L_CALENDER}</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;
<!-- END switch_calender_on -->

btw. have you figured out how it all works..I haven't made any "precise" manual, and have figured out that most poeple would guess how it works

[II_Iron]

Thanks for the reply, and yes I have figured out how it works. As for this mod, is there a way for it to work on a non-php page?
