Hide content on a page until Log-In

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I have a client who wants to have a forum on her site. What she wants to do is have the forum on a page but not have it visible until the user logs in. I'm able to hide a page so its not visible until log-in but can I hide certain content on a page until the user is logged in.

That's easy enough:

<?php
  $u = new User();
  if($u->isRegistered()); {
      // stuff to show when logged in 
  }
?>


I got that from here:http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/introduction/cheat-sheet...

Thanks melat0nin, I can't seem to figure out what tag to place in to show the forum.

Also, would I have to add a HTML block & enter it this way?

just make it so that guest cannot view, it, but maybe stick an external link or a landing page that if they are logged in redirects them to the forum

I am trying to hide a div using this method.

Like so:

<?php
  $u = new User();
  if($u->isRegistered()); {
        <div id="extra-btns-wrap"><a href="url here">ADD LOTTO RESULTS</a></div>
  }
?>


but it not working I get an error message. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

id just use advanced permissions to do this. add 
<?php define('PERMISSIONS_MODEL', 'advanced'); ?>
to site.php and youll have a lot more options on permissions and control.

cyber dave look at the guest views package, its free in the Marketplace, and it would be if($u->isloggedin())

if you look in the guest views package remove the ! before $u->isLoggedin() or you can use advanced permissions

Hi,

You should enable advanced permission for your requirement. To enable advanced permission add the following code in config/site.php file

<?php define('PERMISSIONS_MODEL', 'advanced'); ?>


go to edit mode, click on the block, select set permissions and select Read for registered users, thats it you are done.
