Allow only registered users to view

HI there,

Apologies if this has been asked already - I did a search but couldn't find anything.

I'm testing Chronoforms with Joomla 1.0. I have successfully managed to put up a working form, but I cannot see a way to make the page available only to registered users. I can't obviously use the normal Joomla way.

Can anyone please help me?

Many thanks

Hi XBubmle,

Try this thread. It's here loads of times but not so often recently for Joomla 1.0

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the reply, but that thread is about

Joomla 1.0 How do I include username and/or email in form

What I require is to make the page only viewable to registered users.

If you could help I would be awfully grateful.

Hi, use this code:

global $my;
if(!$my->id){
echo "you are not allowed to see this form";
return;
}

HI there,

Thanks for the reply.

Where exactly do I use this code?

Many thanks

at the top of your form code in the HTML code box!

Regards
Max

HI there,

This doesn't work for me I'm afraid. I put it at the top of the form code but when I visit the page I get:

global $my; if(!$my->id){ echo "you are not allowed to see this form"; return; }

showing above the form.

Here is the form code:

global $my;
if(!$my->id){
echo "you are not allowed to see this form";
return;
}

Probably me being stupid but would really appreciate the help.

I tried doing the 'thank you for submitting the form' thing as well and got the same problem where is just printed those words on the form before it had been submitted.

Hi Xbumble,

We're not doing too well for you here - apologies.

The code shippet needs to be inside <?php . . . ?> tags

<?php
global $my;
if ( !$my->id ) {
  echo "you are not allowed to see this form";
  return;
}
?>

Note to other readers - this is Joomal 1.0.x code and will not work with native Joomla 1.5.x

Hi Bob,

I really appreciate your help, and apologies for taking up your time.

This has indeed now worked, and I am very grateful.

Mike
