Hi,

a silly question again from me. How to make a shortlink to members who are allowed to acces weblog and write entries to specified weblog?

example: i have a weblog called “test”
how to: add a link (and what kind of a link it is) to sidebar of the website what is shown only when logged in as a member (and super admin).

I have EE 1.6 commercial!

Thank you so much again!

The simple answer would be something along the lines of:

{if logged_in}
<a href="http://{path=templategroup/entry-form}">link to stand-alone entry form</a>
{/if}

{if logged_out}
You need to <a href="http://{path=member/login}">login</a> or <a href="http://{path=member/register}">register</a> to post.
{if}

You may want to modify the if logged_in to check for specific member groups, etc.

damn. whats wrong cos i tried and copypasted that into index-template like this:

{if logged_in}
<a href="http://{path=XX/ajankohtaista}">ILMOITA AJANKOHTAISTA</a>
{/if}

{if logged_out}
You need to <a href="http://{path=member/login}">KIRJAUDU</a> or <a href="http://{path=member/register}">REKISTERÖIDY</a> kirjoittaakseni ajankohtaista-osioon.
{if}

But after that index-page brings this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /www/XXX/XXX/XXX/XXX/XXX/core/core.functions.php(635) : eval()'d code on line 65

what im missing now?
I created the stand-alone form template webpage called “ajankohtaista” and templategroup is also right in that code…

I can’t help you on that one. Someone from the EE support team will need to weigh in. Sorry.

Yeah. i did kinda know that. I wait for response.

No response from support theme but:

I was thinking that it might have been a problem with many “if"tags. Dont know but just a quess. So i simply did this:

{if logged_in}
<a href="http://{path=templategroup/entry-form}">link to stand-alone entry form</a>
{/if}

And put that inside of an login form without those “ifs” in it. I also got rid of the if logged out cos that form does not show when you are logged out so it is totally un-needed for my point of view?

Thats my response - is this good, that i dont know!
