I'd love to be able to protect certain pages by member role... Is there something that I can add to my page to get vanilla to do this?

I'd love for a way to do this more automatically, but here's how I ended up doing it.
in my custom page:

$perm_manage = Gdn::Session()->CheckPermission('Plugins.CustomPageFood.Manage'); $perm_view = Gdn::Session()->CheckPermission('Plugins.CustomPageFood.View'); if (!($perm_view || $perm_manage)) { exit(); }

And in the default.php for the CustomPages plugin I added this:
$PluginInfo['CustomPages'] = array( 'Name' => 'Custom Pages', 'Description' => 'A plugin that lets you add custom pages...', 'Version' => '1', // I added the line below: 'RegisterPermissions' => array( 'Plugins.CustomPageFood.Manage', 'Plugins.CustomPageFood.View' ),

A revision feature would be swaggedy!

Revision feature for what exactly, @yusf?

Many thanks to share this tip but is it the best way? for do it now... with v2.0.18.4

peregrine

Ok, thank you so, I will try...

Hi!

Could I get more detailed (n00b proof) info, how to add code that dumond posted?

peregrine

what don't you understand?

Sheila

The exact lines where to add the code, and if I should wrap it within php -function and if, then how to do it. Sorry, I'm really bad with these. Willing to learn but..

peregrine

I haven't tested the custom pages aspect - but it does put permissions in your dashboard.

he's saying to the CustomPages plugin - default.php

$PluginInfo['CustomPages'] = array(
   'Name' => 'Custom Pages',
   'Description' => 'A plugin that lets you add custom pages. You need to add them to the "pages" folder of this plugin.',
   'Version' => '1',
   'Author' => "Mark O'Sullivan",
   'AuthorEmail' => 'mark@vanillaforums.com',
   'AuthorUrl' => 'http://vanillaforums.com'
);

to this... (this should give you manage and view options for CustomPageFood in the dashboard permissions.

$PluginInfo['CustomPages'] = array(
   'Name' => 'Custom Pages',
   'Description' => 'A plugin that lets you add custom pages. You need to add them to the "pages" folder of this plugin.',
   'Version' => '1',
  'RegisterPermissions' =>array('Plugins.CustomPageFood.Manage','Plugins.CustomPageFood.View'),
   'Author' => "Mark O'Sullivan",
   'AuthorEmail' => 'mark@vanillaforums.com',
   'AuthorUrl' => 'http://vanillaforums.com'
);

and add this to your custom page food.

    $perm_manage = Gdn::Session()->CheckPermission('Plugins.CustomPageFood.Manage');
    $perm_view = Gdn::Session()->CheckPermission('Plugins.CustomPageFood.View');
    if (!($perm_view || $perm_manage)) {
    exit();
    }

obviously if food is not your custom page change it accordingly.

Sheila

Okay, thanks. Seems like I did it right then in a first place. But no new options in the admin and code is visible on the public side.

peregrine

did you wrap it in php tags?

<?php 
 $perm_manage=Gdn::Session()->CheckPermission('Plugins.CustomPageFood.Manage');

 $perm_view = Gdn::Session()->CheckPermission('Plugins.CustomPageFood.View');

  if (!($perm_view || $perm_manage)) { exit();  }
    ?>

peregrine

the options for permissions will show up in each role towards the bottom just before the default category permissions.

Of course not!

To be honest, I kept just staring the part <?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit(); ?> and wondering, were exactly is the place to add this other function.

At least something happened since there's a WSOD now. No new permissions in the admin thou.

This is what I used:
<?php $perm_manage=Gdn::Session()->CheckPermission('Plugins.CustomPageFaqs.Manage'); $perm_view = Gdn::Session()->CheckPermission('Plugins.CustomPageFaqs.View'); ?>

peregrine

This is what I used:
<?php $perm_manage=Gdn::Session()->CheckPermission('Plugins.CustomPageFaqs.Manage'); $perm_view = Gdn::Session()->CheckPermission('Plugins.CustomPageFaqs.View'); ?>

What exactly is you goal. to only have people logged in, able to view it?

in that case you could just check for (and forget about the mods to plugin).

$Session = Gdn::Session();
        // this tests to see is user is logged in
        if ($Session->IsValid()) {
              // do the faq stuff

         } else {

            // display you don't have permission to view.

}

Yes, just to set that page visible for logged in members only. Most ideal would be, if menu link also is hidden. I think it's often just more user friendly to hide things completely than give those 'You don't have permission to...' -messages.

peregrine

How did you add it to the menu in the first place?

Sheila

It is included in Air theme default.master.php,
$this->Menu->AddLink('FAQS', T('FAQS'), '/faqs');
