• Hi!

    I am working on a site that has an Advanced Search. This search has many search parameters/fields and will allow users to search a database of models/actors. However, I would like this advanced search to only be visible/restricted to logged in users. I don’t want it to even appear on the site unless a user is logged in. How do I accomplish that? Do I need to purchase the Premium version of F-E Users?

    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Best,

    Alex(andra)

    Hi Alex,

    Yes the F-E Users should be able to help you. The general membership features allow you to restrict entire pages of content based on whether a user is logged in or not. A big feature of the Premium license allows you to add admin controls such as email confirmation, user tracking, and user membership levels.
    If you wish to just try out the content restriction features, you should check out the free version of the plugin. The FAQ’s may help you get started:

    Hi!

    Thanks so much for your reply. I’m a designer. I have some ‘coding’ knowledge, I manage to figure a lot of stuff our on my own, but I am a graphic designer, not a web-guru/designer, so I need a bit of guidance here 😀

    The Advanced Search is hard coded into the theme, it’s not a feature that I set up as a page through the CMS. How would I go about restricting its use/visibility to members only?

    Here is the link to the theme I am working with:

    Thanks again for your help!

    Hi Alex,

    You would need to modify the template file that create the advanced search in that case. You’d need to add something like:

    $User  = new FEUP_User;
    if ($User->Is_Logged_In()) {
    //current advanced search template code
    }
    else {}

    Hope that helps!

    Thank you so much for your assistance.

    I have tried inserting the above in different places, but nothing I’ve tried has worked 🙁 Again, I’m a designer and my knowledge of code is minimal 🙁

    I would be more than willing to purchase the premium version of the plugin if you could help me achieve this.

    Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Hi Alex,

    Is there any message coming up? What displays on the page? What changed when you added in the code?
