creating non-php member based site using SMF user database

[aaronsnet]

Is there anyway to integrate the SMF SSI script into .shtml pages and create a member based site instead of using straight .php. I no nothing about PHP.

I would like to provide my users with a "members only" menu once they are logged in. When they click on a link within the "members only" menu, it would take them to another page, and would make sure they are actually logged in before allowing them to view the page.

I am really doubting that this will not be possible without php, but it never hurts to ask.

thanks!

I'm afraid it isn't possible to do this without using any PHP at all.  You may be able to make an intermediary PHP file, however...

thank you for your response..

Maybe channel people through a php script that makes sure that they are authenticated? Any ideas?

Here's an example:

Code Select Expand

<?php

require_once('SSI.php');

if ($user_info['is_guest'])
 die;

?>
Put the menu here.<br />
Only people who are logged in will see it ;).

Then name that file "member_menu.php" and do a regular SSI include .

How could I add an "access denied" and still let it show the menu? I have tried several times, and when I add the echo statement, it will not pass to the "you are logged in".

Code Select Expand


<?php

require_once('/home/aarono/public_html/nada/mb3/SSI.php');

if ($user_info['is_guest'])
echo '<CENTER><H1>Access Denied</H1>';
die;
?>
<B>You are logged in!</B>


thanks!

Try this:

Code Select Expand

<?php

require_once('/home/aarono/public_html/nada/mb3/SSI.php');

if ($user_info['is_guest'])
{
echo '<CENTER><H1>Access Denied</H1>';
die;
}
?>
<B>You are logged in!</B>

If you have more than one statement after if, you need to use { and }.
