Controlling access to external pages via vB credentials

In vB 2.x I was able to use this code to control access to a page based on member group.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

error_reporting(7);



require('./global.php');



if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="1" or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="3" or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="0") {

      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('newsletter_subscribe_error')."\");");

      }else{        

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('newsletter_subscribe')."\");");

}

exit;



?>

I'm missing something when I try to convert it over....can someone please show me what this should look like to accomplish the same basic goal in vB 3.x?

Thanks!

Most of the variables and functions have changed in vB3 now, you should use something like

PHP Code:


		
			
 <?php
     error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
      require("./global.php");
      
      $globaltemplates = array(
          'newsletter_subscribe_error',
          'newsletter_subscribe'
      );
      
      if(in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(0,1,3)))
      {
          eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('newsletter_subscribe_error') . '");');
      }
      else
      {
          eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('newsletter_subscribe') . '");');
      }
  ?>

OK, lemme try it out and I'll let you know how it went.

Thanks! :)

Should that be require_once ? :P

It doesn't have to but yes it can be.

OK, works like a charm. I just dropped the correct code into a pre-existing page as you can see:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'index');



// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################

// pre-cache templates used by all actions

$globaltemplates = array(

    'navbar',

    'flash1',

    'STANDARD_ERROR'

);



// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

require_once('./global.php');

require_once('./includes/functions_bigthree.php');

require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php');



// ### ALL DONE! SPIT OUT THE HTML AND LET'S GET OUTA HERE... ###



      if(in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(6,11)))

      {

          eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

          eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('flash1') . '");');

      }

      else

      {

          eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');

      }

?>

If we are evaluating members who's primary user group is 6 or 11, it works great. That's administrators and a subscription group. However, if you are a member of the subscription group (11) and its a secondary group, it does not work correctly, you fall into the else statement. Thoughts?

Can't think why that's happening. Also, theres unnessacary code in that script
(Unless you need to require bigthree.php and forumlist.php)

Yeah, I got rid of those two requires...I didn't notice them at first. The only solution I see is to have the subscription event change the primary user group from 1 to 11 instead of configuring it as a secondary user group....I can't see that this would be a problem, but I'm not sure.

What I would do is use 1 print_output and use the fetch_templates in each if section.

E.g;

PHP Code:


		
			
 <?php
 
 // ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
 error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
 
 // #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
 define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
 define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'pagename');
 
 // ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
 // pre-cache templates used by all actions
 $globaltemplates = array(
     'navbar',
     'flash1',
     'STANDARD_ERROR'
 );
 
 // ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
 require_once('./global.php');
 
 
 // ### ALL DONE! SPIT OUT THE HTML AND LET'S GET OUTA HERE... ###
 
       if(in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(6,11)))
       {
       eval('$var1 = "' . fetch_template('template-for-usergroupids-specified') . '";');
       }
       else
       {
       eval('$var1 = "' . fetch_template('template-for-everyone-else') . '";');
       }
       
       eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
       eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('main-template-here') . '");');
 ?>

Then use $var1 in the main-template-here template.

OK, so what would that look like? I'm not quite seeing it...been a long day. :ermm:
