James Ward	Tuesday 29 April 2003 12:13:31 pm I wish to setup a site where anonymous users can see all the article titles and their intros but can not view the article body until they are logged in. I am switching from ez2.2.x to ez3 to attempt this. I understand how to allow or deny users access to various classes but I see no way to seperate access to intros from access to the article bodies. Any help would be much appreciated. working at www.wardnet.com blogging at www.jamesward.ca

If you want this for all articles, edit (or create) an override template for your article template for full views. In this you make use of the fetch function for obtaining user info and act accordingly, for example in the demo setup, change : {attribute_view_gui attribute=$content_version.data_map.body} to {let thisuser=fetch('user','current_user')} {section show=$thisuser.is_logged_in} {attribute_view_gui attribute=$content_version.data_map.body} {section-else} You need to <a href={'/user/login'\|ezurl}>login</a> to see this sexy body {/section} {/let} If you have a mix of public and semi-private articles, then copy the article class to a new one and use the override templates for this new class as shown above. hth Paul eZ Publish, eZ Find, Solr expert consulting and training http://twitter.com/paulborgermans
James Ward	Thursday 01 May 2003 8:05:50 pm Works like a charm Paul. This is a great feature for sites which will want to charge for access to some but not all of their content. Many thanks, James working at www.wardnet.com blogging at www.jamesward.ca
James Ward	Thursday 01 May 2003 9:07:45 pm I would like to add the actual login form to the {section-else} {/section} portion of the example given by Paul. It's always nice to save our users an extra click where possible. :) Anyone know where I can find the code to open the login form? It's not a class and it's not a section so I'm a little lost. Thanks for any help. working at www.wardnet.com blogging at www.jamesward.ca
James Ward	Thursday 01 May 2003 9:34:40 pm I seem to have figured it out. The following appears to work: {section-else} You need to login to see the body of this document.<br /> {include uri="design:user/login.tpl"} {/section} Obviously the key being the {include uri="design:user/login.tpl"} line. It's amazing what you can do once you understand how this templating engine works. :) Thanks for all your help. working at www.wardnet.com blogging at www.jamesward.ca
