Purpose of Mod
To allow access to media files only for logged-in users. If a non-logged-in user tries to access the relevant file they will see a message that informs them they are not authorised to view that file and a link to the Home page.
The method used in this mod can be applied to any file to which one wishes to restrict access.
Mod Developer
The Mod Developer is Graham Chamberlain.
Mod Manager config file provided by Graham Chamberlain.
Automated Installation
- Download the appropriate file for your TNG version from the download links in the mod summary area in the upper right.
- Extract the downloaded zip file to your 'mods folder.
- Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the appropriate source_title_display.cfg file.
Manual Customisation
If you wish to allow browsing of media but still disallow viewing the individual media items, you should remove the directive for browsemedia.php. You could also amend one or more directives to limit the media restriction to specific collections. The following example would only block 'histories' for non-logged-in users:
if(( ! $currentuser )&&($mediatypeID=="histories")) {
$showguest=1;
include("extensions/noaccess.php");
exit;
}
and to limit the restriction to 'histories' and 'photos':
if(( ! $currentuser )&&($mediatypeID=="histories" || $mediatypeID=="photos")) {
$showguest=1;
include("extensions/noaccess.php");
exit;
}
Further Application
The principles used in the directives of this mod to limit access also can be applied to other files; for example: showlog.php; anniversaries.php; showsource.php, browsenotes.php.
Visualisation (php version)
This is how the standard Restriction Warning appears in template8:
