AnotherAndrew Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 onjegolders, I have created a login and members section based on your code that you detailed earlier. In my page structure, I have something like this: about members --bob --andrew contact The members page is basically a placeholder. When bob logs in he goes to www.example.com/members/bob/. The members page shows up in the menu as www.example.com/members/. What would I need to do to make the menu link for members point to www.example.com/members/bob/ when bob is logged in? And to www.example.com/members/andrew/ when andrew is logged in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onjegolders Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hi Andrew, If I understand what you want correctly, you'd do something like this: if ($user->isLoggedin()) { ?> <a href="<?php echo $config->urls->root; ?>members/<?php echo $user->name; ?>">Profile</a> <?php } That will depend on there being a members page which links up to the user page. Alternatively if you want the URL to be /members (without the name) then just make each member use the members template. And just check at the top of the members template that the current logged-in user's name matches the page->name if ($user->name == $page->name) { echo "Welcome back" . $page->title; } else { echo "Please login"; } If it does, then you can safely output all the user/member's information.

pwired Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 A private photo gallery with user login is something that is asked for many times. I think this thread about it should have a summary and placed in Tutorials or FAQ. If somebody, or I can find the time to start collecting all the posts holding code examples and try to make a tutorial out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherAndrew Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 onjegolders, thanks! That was exactly what I was looking for. And it ended up being pretty easy. I'm finally starting to understand php and pw. I agree with you pwired. This does seem to be a frequently requested topic in the forums. Someone mentioned starting a repository of code snippets. Perhaps this could belong in there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
