Is there a way that I can prevent guest from viewing the actually detailed ad page? I know how to prevent guests from searching by adding the following code.

{if $smarty.session.userlevel != 5}
<a href="linkgoeshere">Link</a>
{/if}

However, I want guest to get a prompt to register if they try to go to the viewlisting.php page.

I see there is an option to ban guests from viewing the whole site, but that restricts too much, I just want to limit access to the members ad. Is this possible?

I havent tested this, but you should be able to use the same logic you have in your post and apply it to the whole viewlisting.tpl template.

Basically at the top of the template put your {if $smarty.session.userlevel != 5} and then at the bottom of the template place {else} and then after the else tag add some text to let the visitor know they need to log in to see the ad and then after that add the closing {/if} tag.

Thanks, your suggestion worked. The only thing I need to figure out now is how to add a little message saying "Guest Access Restricted, Please register to view listing". Currently it just shows a blank white page. I want to setup a small notice on the page similar to how the banned members error message on a page is setup. I was unable to find where to add the message. Any suggestions?

I already tried to add it directly under the code but it didn't work.
{if $smarty.session.userlevel != 5}

{/if}

As I already mentioned, you need to use an {else} in there.......ie

{if $smarty.session.userlevel != 5}
contents of original template here
{else}
my message here
{/if}

you can use this as well:
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("To view this page please register or login! www.yoursite.com")
</script>

{if $smarty.session.userlevel == 5}
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("To view this page please register or login! www.yoursite.com")
</script>
{/if}
put it in the <head>
Then in the body put the template code inside

{if $smarty.session.userlevel != 5}
contents of original template here
{/if}
Havn't tested it though.

Ok I think i'm doing something wrong as the pages still show the listings.

I've placed this in all the files head and also above the section in the page.

I try setting it to where the guest can view site it says it's banned. i have it set w/everything on no for guests.

bowers01 + · 03-27-2009, 07:36 AM

Just tested it then, it works like a charm.
In layout.tpl place this in the <head> section

Code:

{if $body=='viewlisting.tpl'}{if $smarty.session.userlevel == 5}
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("To view this page please register or login! www.yoursite.com")
</script> 
{/if}{/if}

Then in viewlisting(2).tpl use this

Code:

{if $smarty.session.userlevel != 5}
contents of original template here
{/if}

It works on 4.09

Cheers,
Nick
