Using Member data to restrict Member access
How Do I?
10 years ago
Posted similar a couple of days ago, turns out I didn’t actually have a solution.
What I’m trying to do should be simple but EE is defying all logic here.
I have a system where I need to restrict member entry access to a pre determind member entered within the entry itself (this is fine as a manual process) I’ve put together a test but I can’t make sense of why it isn’t working.
If I specify in the code (hard code) my checking variable, it works, if I try to use a dynamic variable it won’t work, even though the dynamic variable is outputting what I expect it to.
any ideas?:
