Hi Guys - Great component here!!!!

my client wants the link to the form to be viewable by everyone - but then if you are not logged in he wants the "you must log in..." message. I see no place to set it up this way - can you tell me if it's possible.

When I set the menu item - of course I have the option to make the menu link visible only to "Registered" - but no - that would be toooo easy - he wants the menu item always visible - but if not logged in, you can't use the form.

Thanks for your help! :side:

Hi sidewalk,

I guess that one way would be to make the form html conditional. In pseudo-code, have the form html like this:

<?php
if ( not-logged in ) {
  echo "Please register";
} else {
  echo form code;
}
?>

Hi Bob!

thanks for that - it worked as far as no form appears (yay) but the message "please login..." doesn't appear - it's just blank

any thoughts?:silly:

Hi sidewalk,

What code have you put in there? Mine was just a sketchy pseudo-code as I've been very busy this afternoon. I'd need to lookup how to check if a user is logged in.

Ahhh, well i just copied and pasted what you had there. When you have a moment will you give me the right code - I'm semi code illiterate😉

Hi sidewalk,

Ok here's a fuller version:

<?php
global $my;
if ( !$my->id ) {
  echo "Please register to access this form.";
} else {
  // paste your form code here
}

Hi Bob = thanks for helping me out. I tried it - if I just paste what you have here - when not logged in I can see the "Please register to access this form." so far so good.

But then I pasted my form code in and tested it - when not logged in I get a blank page instead of "Please register to access this form."

Here's my code - am I doing something wrong? Is it the table maybe?

 <?php
global $my;
if ( !$my->id ) {
  echo "Please register to access this form.";
} else {
 <table width="53%" border="0">
  <tr>
    <td><p><strong><font size="+1">Nominate a Colleague</font></strong></p>
      <p>Nominate a colleague to Hamilton's Who's Who online registry using the 
        form below. </p>
     </td>
  </tr>
</table> 
<table BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="500" class="bodytext" >
  <tr VALIGN="top" ALIGN="left"> 
    <td height="30"><font color="#FF0000">* = required</font> </td>
  </tr>
  <tr VALIGN="top" ALIGN="left" height="30"> 
    <td> <P align=right><font size="2" color=red>*</font><font size="2">First

    <td><font size="2"> 
      <input NAME="txtFirstName" SIZE="30" MAXLENGTH ="50"  style="WIDTH: 203px; HEIGHT: 22px"

      </font></td>
  </tr>
  <tr VALIGN="top" ALIGN="left"  height="30">

Hi sidewalk,

Sorry, it's one of those days . . . my bad.

 <?php
global $my;
if ( !$my->id ) {
  echo "Please register to access this form.";
} else {
?>
  // paste your form code here
<?php
}

I left out the <?php and ?> tags from around your form code.
