Hi all,
Just looking for some advice. I’m building a site that has a list of entries (in this case they’re events). There’s a few levels of membership to the site, from normal user, to member to VIP. I’d like the VIP to see all entries, the member to see nearly all and the regular browser to see a few.

Is it possible to set the access level of an entry to a set user level and filter accordingly in the channel entry tag?

Cheers for listening…

RedBloc,

You could create a new custom field of the dropdown variety and add regular, member, vip to it. Call it member_dropper for this example

Then you can tag each entry as you create it.

In your templates you can then add something like this employing the search parameter

Note that Guest group is always 3

{if group_id == '3'}
{exp:channel:entries channel="news" search:member_dropper="=regular" dynamic="no"}
....content…
{/exp:channel:entries}
{/if}

{if group_id == '5'}
{exp:channel:entries channel="news" search:member_dropper="=regular|member" dynamic="no"}
....content…
{/exp:channel:entries}
{/if}

{if group_id == '6'}
{exp:channel:entries channel="news" search:member_dropper="=regular|member|vip" dynamic="no"}
....content…
{/exp:channel:entries}
{/if}

There are probably a few more ways to come up with what you want. There may even be memebr addons over at devot-ee.com that may help

Thanks John, I’ll give it a go.

No problems. Let me move this to Community Help forums so if anybody else wants to chime in they can
