Intro text for anyone, Full text for registered only

mamboduck · 28.12.2004, 23:46

here I am again, with a new question for you:

I would like to show 'intro text' to everybody... but 'full text' just to registered users.

so, when someone clicks on the 'Read more' link:
a) if he is logged in, the full text appears...
b) if don't, Mambo will say something like 'if you are registered please login to read the full text, if don't register now!

I know there's a mambot called 'MosRegistered' but it doesn't work

I will appreciate any suggestion...

Bye and... heppy new year!

I am very professional

You don't need any bot for this, just edit the articles access level to registered.

Now you can paypal me $5 lol

sorry eyezberg, no donation this time because you didn't read my post carefully

I don't want to hide the entire item, just the second part. see example following:

(public

title title title

intro text intro text intro text intro text intro text
intro text intro text intro text intro text intro text
intro text intro text intro text intro text intro text

[Read More]

Are you registered? If so, please login... If don't register here...

(only for registered

full text full text full text full text full text full text

I'm sure you saw it hundreds of times.

Tks for your time and you help!

Ps I'm migrating from 4.5.09 to 4.5.1 so both are available.

There is already a hack for this, but I don't know where. Have you scoured the repository at Mamboportal.com?

mamboduck · 01.01.2005, 18:58

Yes

I searched the repository many times...

I founded 'mosRegistered', a mambot that hides text between {mosregistered}{/mosregistered} tags.

It works if text is 'oneline' but if you insert a <P> or <BR> it doesn't work!

For example:

{mosregistered}Text not shown to unregistered users{/mosregistered} <=this works

{mosregistered}
Text
not
shown
to
unregistered
users
{/mosregistered} <= this doesn't work

***
can anyone tell me (paperoz007@yahoo.it) how expensive could be this customization?!

tks, and remember it's still Xmas

sorry mamboduck, but I did read your post,
if you have an article on the frontpage, which is the only place AFAIK the "read more" link shows up, and access is set to registered, anybody will be able to read what's in the intro on the frontpage, but only registered users can access the main body on the full article page. works for me on 4509 at least..

Just in case, here's your bot, paypal the $5 to troozers..

mamboduck · 01.01.2005, 21:42

I set the access to 'registered' and the ENTIRE article disappeared EVERYWHERE: from the frontpage, from the item list in category...

MOSVIEWONLY SHOULD BE THE SOLUTION...

it works fine on my 4.5.09 and does exactly what I need in a easy way...

but...

WORKS if text is something like: {viewonly=registered} blah blah {/viewonly}

and

DOESN'T WORK if text is 'structured' as a normal article.

for example:

{viewonly=registered} blah

blah blah blah

blah {/viewonly}

Any suggestion about how to make it work?

It doesn't matter how complicated it should be

tks again

eyezberg · 01.01.2005, 21:50

Ok, sorry, you're right, I never tried looking at older articles from the category list, it does indeed just say "reg to read".. so ok as long as frontpage, too bad once it's gone.
but frontpage does work 100% (for me), you can see all from the ontro field, and read more directs to access not allowed...

About the bot, I suggest you get in touch with Andy/troozers, very nice guy now part of the Mambo Maintenance Team, he'll help you better'n me...

Good luck, and post the solution if there's one.

mamboduck · 01.01.2005, 21:55

any problem has at least one solution

and will be posted here! tks!
