How can I do this?

[Mijae]

I have a gallery on my site, and I would like only registered members to be able to view it (basically I want people to sign up if they want to view the gallery).

So I have a gallery.php file outside my /forum/ directory, so if I move the gallery.php to the vB forum directory I'd like to add access restriction for registered members only.

How can I do this? (if I can)

At the top of the gallery.php file, find:

PHP Code:

<?php

Underneath, ADD:

PHP Code:

require("./global.php");
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
  show_nopermission();
} 


Make sure the global.php file is in the same directory as the gallery.php file, or you will have to change the path to the global.php file.

yeah all you have to do is include the global.php

you may have to use chdir() function first..

like this:

PHP Code:

chdir("/forums/");
require("global.php");
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
  show_nopermission();
} 


otherwise you will get include errors.

chdir was giving an error in safe mode, so the edit posted by Erwin did the work
