Require Login for one EZ Page?

[Monster Pawn]

A new zenner with my first question! Not sure what section thsi should be posted under, so I'm starting here.

Incidentally, this forum has been FANTASTIC so far and I've found an answer to nearly every question I've had, but I can't find this one.

I'm a designer who just took my first store site live, and so far eveything is working great. But I'm wondering if there is a way to require a customer to login/create an account to access just ONE of the EZ pages I have set up (In Store Coupons! page). We have coupons that can be printed and use in our brick and mortar store, and I'd like to require customers to set up an account before accessing the coupons. I don't want people to have to login to see the other EZ pages.

I'm guessing it's an " if ($_SESSION..." statement placed somewhere, but my overall knowledge of php is very limited - anyone have suggestions?

And any other site critique is appreciated also...

Thanks
R Fish

/includes/modules/pages/page/header_php.php
around line 23 you'll see:

if ($ezpage_id == 0) zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT));

Right below that, insert the following code, substituting '55' with the number of the page to 'protect':

if ($ezpage_id == 55) {
  if (!$_SESSION['customer_id']) {
    $_SESSION['navigation']->set_snapshot();
    zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));
  }
}

You could instead follow the advice of post 7 on this thread: allow php inside ezpages

and then put this in any ezpage to allow more than one "members only" page without needing to edit the header_php.php file for each one.

<?php
if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) {
echo('You are signed in and have access to the members only area.');
}else{echo('You are not signed in, and do not have access to the members only area.');}
?>

(In case it isn't obvious, put your members only content where I have the first echo, and replace the second echo if you want a different message to ask them to sign in.)

In the code:

<?php
if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) {
echo('You are signed in and have access to the members only area.');
}else{echo('You are not signed in, and do not have access to the members only area.');}
?>

Is it possible to specify a specific customer_id ? Like only show this page to customer id # 1?

Thanks,

I did it! For those who would like to know how to hide a page for logged in members AND only give access to a select member or members.

Insert this in an ezpage: (to learn how to insert php in an EZpage, look at the link above)

<?php
if ($_SESSION['customer_id'] == "1" ) {
echo('Access.');
}else{echo('You are not signed in, and do not have access to the members only area.');}
?>

Change number "1" to the customer number you want to have access to the page. You can find your customer number by going to "customers" in the admin section of your Zen Cart. The number is right next to the listing.

Obviously, change the echo'' to the statement you want your logged in member to see.

I have the site set up so a customer must login to see the products, but this also locks them from the ezpages is there a way to allow new customers that have not set up an account to view the ez pages?

how can you add more that one id

[rbarbour]

not sure this is the right code but it works.

<?php
if ($_SESSION['customer_id'] == "1" ) {
if ($_SESSION['customer_id'] == "4" ) {
echo('Access.');
echo('You are signed in and have access to the members only area.');
}else{echo('You are not signed in, and do not have access to the members only area.');}
?>

have to keep duplicating 'if' statement

[lacktorium]

thx i wasn't sure it that would work, ill use it unless something else works better. im not as fluent in php yet i think it mite be possible to do an array. but i could be wrong.

[rbarbour]

disregard first post, try this:

<?php
if (in_array($_SESSION['customer_id'],explode(",",'1,4')) ) {
echo('Access.');
echo('You are signed in and have access to the members only area.');
}else{echo('You are not signed in, and do not have access to the members only area.');}
?>
