each user allowed to add only one page under a parent template

[ziu]

hi, just created a parent page and under this i want a user who is logged in to create only one page, not more than that. how can i do this.

thanks

You will need to use a hook, maybe in ready.php. Here's some code to get u started (unstested and written in a hurry).

// I can't remember if 'child' will get unpublished and/or hidden pages
// you might need to perform other checks (user logged in? => $user->isLoggedin())
$usersChildPage = $parentPage->child("created_users_id={$user->id}");
if($usersChildPage && $usersChildPage->id) {
	// this user already has a child page; do something else
}

Another approach is to not allow users to create pages at all, but rather automatically create a single unpublished page for each user in a hook at the time the user is created. Then each user can populate and publish their page if they wish.

Yeah, this approach is better.

There's various examples in the forum regarding Robin's suggested approach. Just can't find them now.

thanks @Robin S @kongondo , you both are correct. i will create a page when user is created. Thanks will post the update.

@adrian i am still not able to figure it out, can u tell me how can create a page like 'profile' so that when user who logs in can have this page's shortcut on their screen and can just fill this page.
