Membership access to some or all pages

Hi,

If you're using the membership plugin, and your storing their "Membership level" in the accounts table, you should be able to access this variable using $CURRENT_USER['*FIELD NAME*'] where *FIELD NAME* is the name of the field in the accounts table that your storing their membership level in.

Hope this helps.

Sort of along the same lines, in the sign up area, you have the instructions:

''replace '_sample' with the table you want the user to access
replace '6' with the access level they should have: 0=none, 6=author, 9=editor
replace '1' with the max listings they are allowed"

I'm not show how this translates into someone accessing a members only area of a site.

For example, our client is an association. Members with logins will be able to access a front end with information, forms, and other things that general members and non-members can't get to.

- Does this mean that I have to add all the tables for that area of the site to those users?
- Do I list them with commas or does each table require a separate line?
- Does access level 'none' mean that they can't access that area at all or just that they can't sign into the CMS backend?
- What does the max listings line mean?

Thanks.

Hi Jessica,

Adding lines to the accesslist table is only required for users who are accessing the CMS Backend (ie, actually logging into CMS Builder and accessing records there). If you are using the signup form that came with the website membership plugin, then by default those users don't have any back end permissions.

If users only need to log in and access the front end, you don't need to set up any user permissions.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

That's exactly what I was hoping for. LOL... thanks! [cool]

thanks alot guys! This really enlightens me on what to do on website. I have tried a lot of plugins already...
