Is it possible to allow anonymous users to view the story information on the site but when they click on "read more" link to the body of the story, require anonymous users to create an account?

If this question has already been asked, I apologize but I couldn't find it anywhere.

Thanks,

Lee

Without hacking the code, no I don't think so.

However, I think it's a very easy hack to make:



That should work.

Mike,
Thanks for your response, which file would this go into?


Lee

In article.php, after the include for lib-common.php, I would think (untested ...).

bye, Dirk

No it doesn't go there I get the following:


Parse error: parse error in C:geeklog-1.3.11rc1public_htmlarticle.php on line 49


Lee

It goes under //Main in the article.php. Seems to be working!


Thanks,

Lee

Spoke too soon, I'm getting that parse error as mentioned previously.


Lee

The parse error is because of a missing ')' in Mike's code. It's also missing something else. Try this:
Right after the require_once ('lib-common.php'); Works for me ...

bye, Dirk

Now I'm getting a window "Page Cannot Be Found" so I guess it's calling the page but what it's looking for is not in the appropriate place. Is there another name or location for that user login page?

Yeah, it's trying to call up a static page where you could explain to people that they have to log in first, etc.

Why not simply create such a page?

bye, Dirk

You're absolutely right on with the static page and I will ultimately use your suggestioin but in trying to understand how it works I annotated it to refer to the following..."users.php?mode=new" and it works and displays a page
which is pretty close to what I want.
I'd like to know where is the verbage for this page referenced...if I wanted to modify, text or graphics?

Thanks

Lee

Where can I change the text ...?

Thanks

I love this hack, it is so helpful. I was wondering if it's possible to expand on it.

The site I'm building is subscription based with two levels of access, "Basic" and "Advanced". Is there away to restrict Anonymous users to intro text only, Basic Users to a specific set of stories (perhaps from the "Basic" group), and give Advanced Users the right to see everything?
