Hello,

I created an extra field in my User Accounts section called "Assets", it's an upload field.

How can I restrict that each user only sees his uploads when logging in?

I already succesfully implemented the membership plugin...

But what goes between this

<?php if ($CURRENT_USER): ?>
???
<?php endif ?>

Hi,

Since $CURRENT_USER doesn't retrieve any upload information, you need to have a separate query to retrieve that user's record and uploads

For example:

<?php if ($CURRENT_USER): ?>

<?php

list($accountRecord, $accountMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'accounts',
'allowSearch' => false,
'limit' => 1,
'where' => "num = '".intval($CURRENT_USER['num'])."'",
));

$assets = array();
if ($accountRecord) {
$assets = $accountRecord[0]['assets'];
}

?>

<?php foreach ($assets as $upload): ?>
//output images
<?php endforeach ?>

<?php endif ?>

Hope this helps get you started.

Everything works Jason...

Just 1 last question about this topic:

Is it possible that the "Admin" can see all assets when logged in?

Hi,

Sure, you could check for isAdmin. If the user is an admin, you could retrieve all user records and display the assets for everything returned:


<?php if ($CURRENT_USER['isAdmin']): ?>
// get all account records and display assets.
<?php endif ?>

Hope this helps
