Only allowing registered users to use form

HI There

I was wondering if there is a way of ONLY allowing registered users to use the form? I'm using Joomla 1.5.6

Background:

I have an Ask a Psychic feature on my website. Where a user clicks on an image linking to the form. But I only want the form to be available for registered users only.

Can anyone help?

ChronoForm is great by the way! Works real well.

Cheers

Hi sighani,

Yes you can - you need to look up the user_id in the User object - if it's 0 then the user is either a guest or not logged in.

You can access the user object with this code in your form html

<?php
$user = JFactory::getUser();
if ( $user->id == 0 ) {
  // this is a guest . . .
} else {
  //this is a logged in registered user
}
?>

Hi Bob

Thanks for that. It's a bit over my head though as I don't know much about php. I did put the code in the form html.

I tested out the form and it still allows non registered users to use the form.

I may have missed something here?

Hi sighani,

Yes, you need to add your form code or other messages in where I left comments.

You will need a little knowledge of php & html to get this to work correctly, it really isn't practical for Max or I to code everyone's forms for them in full detail.

Hi there

Thanks for your time anyways.🙂

But I have found a way to work this.

I created this as a menu and set the access level to Registered only.

Love the app!
