Member only EZ-Pages

[alex_hill]

Is there a way to make some EZ-Pages for logged in members only whilst some are available for guests?

This is not a built in feature to EZ-Pages at this time ...

Possibly something the Zen-Cart team could work on for a future version. I am sure it couldnt be too hard.

Is there a way to make ALL ez-pages for members only (not half and half). If not I will just have to put the information in as a free download I guess.

Cheers,
Alex

You could customize the /includes/pages/page to not allow access unless logged in ...

I am not sure how obnoxious it might be ...

Change the code in the header_php.php file from this:

// This should be first line of the script:
$zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_HEADER_START_EZPAGE'); 

to read this:

// This should be first line of the script:
$zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_HEADER_START_EZPAGE');

// if the customer is not logged on, redirect them to the login page
if (!$_SESSION['customer_id']) {
  $_SESSION['navigation']->set_snapshot();
  zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));
} 

Now when a link is clicked on to go to one of the pages the customer has to login ...

NOTE: the spiders cannot login to read anything now ...

Thanks for that, I might give it a go.

For someone who might see this page looking for a similar fix, I just made my Documents side box available only to members. All I did was this:

Put
[FONT=Courier New]if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) {[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]CODE FROM SIDEBOX FILE[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]}[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New][/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]Works nicely in my situation[/FONT]

// This should be first line of the script:
$zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_HEADER_START_EZPAGE');

// if the customer is not logged on, redirect them to the login page
if (!$_SESSION['customer_id']) {
  $_SESSION['navigation']->set_snapshot();
  zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));
} 

Would it be possible to expand that 'if' statement to include specific ez-page id's? For instance, I want id's 7-12, 15 and 16 to be password protected. All other pages wouldn't need to be.

Seek (along with some trial and error) and ye shall find!

Here's what seems to work for my "would it be possible" question above.

In 'includes/modules/pages/page/header_php.php' look for the following code around line 22:

$ezpage_id = (int)$_GET['id'];
if ($ezpage_id == 0) zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT));

Right after that code paste this:

// if you want certain ez-pages accessed by members only, redirect them to the login page
if (($ezpage_id == 5 || $ezpage_id == 6 || $ezpage_id == 10 || $ezpage_id == 14) && !$_SESSION['customer_id']) {
  $_SESSION['navigation']->set_snapshot();
  zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));
}

In this case, the ez-pages with id's 5,6,10, & 14 will be redirected to the login page. All other ez-pages will go straight to the page. If you need other pages, you'll have to remember to come back and add them manually. This could also be modified to redirect to just about any ZC page that you have. Just change the zen_href_link() to suit your needs.

I'm open to suggestions/corrections to this code since I'm no PHP programmer. Maybe this could be added in the next version so that it's controllable through 'admin/configuration/ez-pages settings' similar to where you have control of disabling headers, footers, and columns?
