Is it possible to put a link on the menu only visible to admins?

Such as a link to the administration area.

RE: Link questions

Users you are not authorized to access the admin area with get an error if they click on the admin link so it really can be placed anywhere

RE: Link questions

Yes there is go to your functions.php page and in your sidebar function place this(right before the $sidebar = "):

PHP Code:


		
			
$group = getgroup();
$cancp = cancp($group);

if($cancp == "yes"){
$admin = "<a href='admin.php'><b>ACP</b></a><br>";
}
else{
$admin = "";
}

Then within the &sidebar = ", place this:

PHP Code:


		
			
".$admin."

Hope I answered your question.

RE: Link questions

@ Seapyramid. I know they can't access it, and that's not the issue, I'd just like that button to not even be there for them, as it might lead to confusion.

@Bloodrun. That gave me the white screen of death. :/

PHP Code:


		
			
$group = getgroup();
$cancp = cancp($group);

if($cancp == "yes"){
$admin = "<a href='admin.php'><b>ACP</b></a><br>";
}
else{
$admin = "";
} 

$sidebar = "<b><u>".$loggedinname."'s Links:</u></b><br><br>
<a href='adopt.php'>Adopt Some Pets</a><br>
<a href='myadopts.php'>Manage Adoptables</a><br>
<a href='account.php'>Go to My Account</a><br>
".$msgctr."
<a href='logout.php'>Log Out</a>";
".$admin." 

}

Is this right?

You didn't end the &sidebar correctly

the ".$admin." goes within the ($sidebar = " ";)

RE: Link questions

So $sidebar = "<b><u>$admin."

???

Use this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$group = getgroup();

$cancp = cancp($group);



if($cancp == "yes"){

$admin = "<a href='admin.php'><b>ACP</b></a><br>";

}

else{

$admin = "";

} 



$sidebar = "<b><u>".$loggedinname."'s Links:</u></b><br><br>

<a href='adopt.php'>Adopt Some Pets</a><br>

<a href='myadopts.php'>Manage Adoptables</a><br>

<a href='account.php'>Go to My Account</a><br>

".$msgctr."

<a href='logout.php'>Log Out</a>

".$admin."";



}

Your welcome. =D

RE: Link questions

I searched the Forums and this was the most relevant topic I could find so I am posting this here.

I am trying to create links in the links bar that are only visible to users when logged in.

First I commented out this so that it wouldn't pull links from the database.

PHP Code:


		
			
/*

$links = "";



    $query = "SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."links ORDER BY id ASC";

    $result = mysql_query($query);

    $num = mysql_numrows($result);



    //Loop out code

    $i=0;

    while ($i < $num) {



    $linktext=@mysql_result($result,$i,"linktext");

    $linkurl=@mysql_result($result,$i,"linkurl");



    $linktext = stripslashes($linktext);



    $links = $links."<li><a href='".$linkurl."'>".$linktext."</a></li>";



    $i++;

    }

*/

Then I added this after right before $links:

PHP Code:


		
			
if($isloggedin == "yes"){

    $royallinks = "

        <li><a href='pages.php?page=royals'>My Royals</a>

        <ul>

            <li><a href='adopt.php'>Adopt a Royal</a></li>

            <li><a href='myadopts.php'>Care for Royals</a></li>

            <li><a href='promo.php'>Rare Royals</a></li>

        </ul>

        </li>

    ";

}



else{

    $royallinks = "";

} 



if($isloggedin == "yes"){

        $accountlinks = "

        <li><a href='account.php'>Account</a>

        <ul>

            <li><a href='profile.php?user=".$username."'>View Profile</a></li>

            <li><a href='account.php?act=changeemail'>Change Email</a></li>

            <li><a href='account.php?act=changepass'>Change Password</a></li>

            <li><a href='forgotpass.php'>Reset Password</a></li>

            <li><a href='account.php?act=changesettings'>Settings</a></li>

        </ul>

        </li>";

}



else{

    $accountlinks = "";

}



if($isloggedin == "yes"){

    $pmlinks ="

        <li><a href='messages.php'>Inbox</a></li>

        <li><a href='messages.php?act=send'>Compose Message</a></li>";

}



else{

    $pmlinks ="";

}

Then I added all my menu links (I am using a drop-down menu which is working fine):

PHP Code:


		
			
$links = "<ul id='nav' class='dropdown dropdown-horizontal'>

    <li><a href='index.php'>Home</a></li>



    <li><a href='pages.php?page=about'>About</a>

    <ul>

        <li><a href='pages.php?page=stages'>Stages</a></li>

        <li><a href='pages.php?page=predators'>Predators</a></li>

        <li><a href='pages.php?page=npcs'>NPCs</a></li>

        <li><a href='pages.php?page=environment'>Environment</a></li>

        <li><a href='pages.php?page=occupations'>Occupations</a></li>

    </ul>

    </li>



    ".$royallinks."

    ".$accountlinks."

    <li><a href='pages.php?page=communication'>Communication</a>

    <ul>

        <li><a href='site_news.php'>Announcements</a></li>

    ".$pmlinks."

        <li><a href='stats.php'>Form Alliances</a></li>

        <li><a href='profile.php?user='>Members</a></li>

    </ul>

    </li>



    <li><a href='pages.php?page=premium'>Premium Members</a>

    <ul>

        <li><a href='pages.php?page=donate'>Premium Royals</a></li>

        <li><a href='pages.php?page=custom'>Custom Royals</a></li>

        <li><a href='pages.php?page=sponsor'>Become a Sponsor</a></li>

    </ul>

    </li>



    <li><a href='pages.php?page=help'>Help</a>

    <ul>

        <li><a href='pages.php?page=faq'>FAQ</a></li>

        <li><a href='pages.php?page=rules'>Rules & Guidelines</a></li>

        <li><a href='tos.php'>Terms of Service</a></li>

        <li><a href='pages.php?page=privacy'>Privacy Policy</a></li>

        <li><a href='pages.php?page=safety'>Safety Tips</a></li>

        <li><a href='pages.php?page=parents'>Info for Parents</a></li>

        <li><a href='contactus.php'>Contact Us</a></li>

    </ul>

    </li>

</ul>";

What is NOT working is that even when LOGGED IN the user-only links are still NOT visible. What am I doing wrong? Please advise. Thank you!

RE: Link questions

The second and third pieces of code you have, what files are you placing these in? If you're placing it in the getlinks function in functions.php you might have to call the logincheck() function before using the code, such as this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$loginstatus = logincheck();
$isloggedin = $loginstatus[loginstatus];
$loggedinname = $loginstatus[username];

if($isloggedin == "yes"){
    $royallinks = "
        <li><a href='pages.php?page=royals'>My Royals</a>
        <ul>
            <li><a href='adopt.php'>Adopt a Royal</a></li>
            <li><a href='myadopts.php'>Care for Royals</a></li>
            <li><a href='promo.php'>Rare Royals</a></li>
        </ul>
        </li>
    ";
}

else{
    $royallinks = "";
} 

if($isloggedin == "yes"){
        $accountlinks = "
        <li><a href='account.php'>Account</a>
        <ul>
            <li><a href='profile.php?user=".$username."'>View Profile</a></li>
            <li><a href='account.php?act=changeemail'>Change Email</a></li>
            <li><a href='account.php?act=changepass'>Change Password</a></li>
            <li><a href='forgotpass.php'>Reset Password</a></li>
            <li><a href='account.php?act=changesettings'>Settings</a></li>
        </ul>
        </li>";
}

else{
    $accountlinks = "";
}

if($isloggedin == "yes"){
    $pmlinks ="
        <li><a href='messages.php'>Inbox</a></li>
        <li><a href='messages.php?act=send'>Compose Message</a></li>";
}

else{
    $pmlinks ="";
}

See if that works. :)

RE: Link questions

That worked, thanks Brandon!
