Hi,

You can check to see if there is a url entered before outputting a link like this:

<?php if ($record['ses_url']): ?>
  <a href="<?php echo htmlencode($record['ses_url']) ?>" class="captions">Info</a>
<?php endif ?>

For logins, are you using the website membership plugin?  If so, you can use a similar method to the above to check to see if a person is logged in.  We do this by checking for the $CURRENT_USER variable like this:

<?php if ($CURRENT_USER): ?>
  <a href="cdb-stallion-reports.php?title=<?php echo $record['title']; ?>" > <?php echo $reportCount;?> Reports</a>
<?php endif ?>

In addition to this, you should put code on your cdb-stallion-reports.php page that will redirect a user back to a login page if they are not currently logged in.    You can do this like this:

if (!$CURRENT_USER) { websiteLogin_redirectToLogin(); }

With the website membership plugin, there is a code generator that will help you to create signup, login, profile, and forgot password pages.

hope this helps

Hi Jason, 

In reply to the Website Membership Plugin, is required cms builder v2.52. I checked and it looks like the program version on this site is 2.5.  How do we go about upgrading that?
