[SOLVED] PHPBB Fetch All

[cheechm]

Hi,

I have PHP Fetch ALl and I was wondering s it possible to have proected pages which can be visted if you log in to the forums? Or vice versa. I know PHPNuke kinda does this, but I don't want to use it. I literally want to use the PHPBB database

Would this code work?

  [code]  php:<?php
    if ($userdata['username'])
    {
    // Logged in content here
    }
    else
    {
    // Not logged in content here
    }
    ?>[/code]



Thanks

The idea will work, but just checking if username is set may not be the best way to do it. You might get positive matches on banned users.

You actually don't even need PHPBB Fetchall. I do it on my site just with this:
[code=php:0]
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$site_root_path = ""; //<-- Modify
$phpbb_root_path2 = 'forum/'; //<-- Modify
$phpbb_root_path = $site_root_path . $phpbb_root_path2;
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.php');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'config.php');
$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_INDEX);
[/code]

It should return that same array.

You can var_dump($userdata) to see what each switch in the array is set to. I would try it with a banned user, a guest, and a normal user account.

I'm using if($userdata['user_active'] == 1) for my user only content, and it seems to work fine.

Do I have to put the first set of code in every page I want protected?
Also, if the user isn't logged in how do I redirect them to a login page? And then so if they are logged in it goes to the protected page automatically.

Thanks

Yes. It might be easier to put it in a single file, then include it every time you need it.

You can actually make your own login page that uses the phpbb login script. There's a post var that you can set to redirect to any page on your site.

Is this [code=php:0]if($userdata['user_active'] == 1)[/code] counted as a new part of the PHP code?

The file with the code written in it would be called protection. Is this how I would include it?
[code=php:0]<?php include("protection.php"); ?> [/code]

I have just been playing around with it.

??? ??? ???

I can't get it to work.

I login into the forums and then visit the page with the include in it. I have protection.php written and saved it. But when I visit it, it doesn't seem to protect the page.

The forum is located here:

htdocs/forum

The protected pages are located here:

htdocs/account

What is the problem?
Thanks

BTW
I have done the redirect easily though. That helped a bunch!

This is an old thread, so I'm not sure if you ever figured it out, but you need to define the php path vars correctly for your installation.

Remeber that as soon as you go in to /account, the forum path will change to ../forum/, because you have to step down a directory.

Try saving this as a file and putting it in /account.
[code]
<?php
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$site_root_path = ""; //<-- Modify
$phpbb_root_path2 = '../forum/'; //<-- Modify
$phpbb_root_path = $site_root_path . $phpbb_root_path2;
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.php');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'config.php');
$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_INDEX);

var_dump($userdata);
[/code]
