Restricted Content Plugin - does this work?
Development and Programming
This plugin seems ideal for a particular feature that I want to implement, but it’s not working and the documentation is “thin”.
I’ve installed it by adding the .php file to the Plugins directory, but I notice that it’s not listed in Plugin Manager of the Control panel.
Ploughing on, I included the tags as shown into a template uisng the example given, and EE reported back the following:
Error
The following tag has a syntax error:
{exp:restricted}
Please correct the syntax in your template.
EE 1.6.8
Hi Mark,
Can you show us the exact code you are using in the template?
Best wishes,
Mark
P.S. Great name by the way 😉
Actually scratch that. 😉
I think I remember what the problem was with this plugin. Make sure to check the file permissions are correct as I believe it downloads with funny permissions. Make sure they are something like 755 and then it should hopefully work for you.
Hope that helps a bit.
Best wishes,
Mark
Hello Mark
Here’s the (complete) template code. For testing I’ve used the example code given in the plugin file.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
{embed="includes/.head"}
</head>
<body id="support">
<div class="page-wrap">
{embed="includes/.header-pages"}
<div class="grid"> </div>
<div class="content clear" id="important-stuff">
<!-- content-->
<h2>Library</h2>
<div class="section a4">
<div class="column w3">
{embed="includes/library-main-nav"}
</div>
<div class="column w9">
<h3>Access controlled area</h3>
<div class="column w9 nlg nrg a2 download">
{exp:restricted group_id="7"}
{no_access}
<a href="http://{site_url}login">Please log in to download the secret list</a>.
{/no_access}
<a href="http://secretlist.pdf">Download SecretList.pdf</a>

</div>
<!-- content -->
</div>
{embed="includes/.footer-home"}
{embed="includes/.legal"}
</div>
{embed="includes/google-analytics"}
</body>
</html>Permission settings were “odd”, so I’ve set them as suggested, but no joy.
Oh hold everything. I’ve uploaded the file to a completely different project on my FTP area. Sheesh. Too many things going on…
Apologies - thanks as ever for responding. I DO owe you a drink!
D’oh!

Make that a nice cold Pepsi then 😉
Glad that got it sorted for you.
Best wishes,
