Protecting NON-VB Pages.

Okay, I search for such a hack, found a couple, some work, and others don't even make any sense.

Basically this is what I want:

1) Protect pages, so a user must be registered to view it.

2) Say I put a link on my front page that leads to a file... how do I block non members from clicking the link, so the download doesn't start and they get directed to the login/register page?

3) When they log in it directs them to the page they were trying to view.

I have an idea how to do it, but I want to make sure I am choosing the right method.

I know I would need to put something like this in the head section of the page I want to protect:

<?php
chdir("forums/");
require("global.php");

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0)
{
blah, blah..
?>

am I close? ;)

my main focus it protecting links so people can't download my files if they aren't registerd.

thanks.

Yes...

Code:

<?php

chdir("./forums");

require("./global.php");



if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {

show_nopermission();

}

?>

Hmm.. getting include errors.

This is how I have my pages:

Code:

<?php

include("../config.php");

include("../header.php");

?>



// content 



<?php

include("../footer.php");

?>

I tried like this but get still get include errors.

Code:

<?php

chdir("./forums");

require("./global.php");



if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {

show_nopermission();

}

include("../config.php");

include("../header.php");

?>



// content



<?php

include("../footer.php");

?>

I also tried putting it after header but then it can't find the footer.

okay apparently i need more code than just that....

I only got it to work by setting FULL path starting from /home :(

and after I tried to view the page it inserted the VB login page INSIDE the non VB page LOL it was messy, broken images etc....

I found this hack but it's way sloppy:

how do I protect links like attachments? so people can't download the files that are on no vb page?

you can't protect those files really, except if you save em into the db as attachments :)

Sure you can.
You can put them outside directory-tree that comprises your web-space and have some php-file output them. I imagine this is exactly what PPN's 'attachments as files'-hack does.

Actually that's not true. All you need to do is move them to a non-web acessible locations. Then create a file which outputs them using fpassthrough() after checking login, that is all.
