Hello all,

I created a form in chronoforms, now i want it to be displayed only after the user login. Could anyone help me to code this?🙂 Any help will be appreciated!

Joe

Hi joe,

Add this code to beginning of the Form HTML in CFv3 or into a Custom Code action in CFv4

<?php

$user =& JFactory::getUser();
if ( !$user->gid ) {
  $mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication();
  $mainframe->redirect('index.php', 'You are not allowed to access this page', 'error');
}
?>

Replace 'index.php' with some other url to redirect to the user there.
Replace 'error' with 'info' or 'alert' to change the message format.
Leave the message string out - just use $mainframe->redirect('index.php'); to redirect silently

Hi Greyhead,

Thanks for your reply, I created the custom code section as you suggested. However, the form doesn't display at the frontend and shows "HTTP 500 internal server error". Could you help me out again?

Many Thanks
Joe

Ho Joe,

My apologies. Please replace

$mainframe =& JFactory::getFramework();

with

$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication();

I must remember which one is correct :-(

Bob

PS I updated my earlier post

Thanks a lot GREYHEAD! You are a hero! It works really nice, I am happy to see your reply in the forum, because it is like a solution bank!😀

Hello Greyhead,

Regarding to the above code you posted, i forgot to mention that i replaced the code below

if ( !$user->gid ) {
...
...
...
}

with

if ( !$user->username) {
...
...
...
}

It then works fine, otherwise i keep on getting redirected back to index.php even if i logged in. I am using Joomla 1.6, is this error occured because of the version inconsistency? Just a guess. Anyways, thank you a lot for all your time and help!:D
Joe

Hi Joe,

Almost certainly that's a Joomla! 1.6 change. The User code has changed a lot and so far I have no idea how the new version works :-(
