SSL For Subscribers Only

[maximux1]

I've just added a little enhancement to my 3.6, however this should work should as well with the 3.5 branch. It's really very simple and requires a template edit and a plugin.

Create a new plugin using the global_start hook.

PHP Code:

ob_start();

if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == 'on')   {
       echo "on";
    $ssl = ob_get_contents();
} 
else {
}
ob_end_clean(); 


At the very top of headinclude template add this...

<if condition="$ssl == on">
	 <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 55)"><!--change this to your subscriber group-->	 
	 <else />
		<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://www.yourdomain.com/subscribe.php">
	</if>
</if>

That's all.

This allows the user to briefly see that you do have SSL available but in 5 seconds redirects them to your subscriber page with more reasons to subscribe.

If the user is already a subscriber no redirection takes place.

Hope someone finds it useful.
