login.php prior to specific restricted page on site.

[Guest]

Hello Everyone,

 

I am running OsCommerce based store. I would like to have users go through their login.php page before accessing a specific page on the site.

 

I know that when users try to access something like shopping_cart.php it will automatically boot them to login.php if they are not logged in (sessions or cookies). If they are logged in, then shopping_cart.php will come up just fine.

 

My situation is a little bit different. I want members_only.php to be just like shopping_cart.php in that if they are not currently logged in, then they automatically get sent to login.php. If they have already logged in, and their sessions or cookies have not expired, then it will take them to members_only.php flawlessly.

 

Is there some specific coding or somewhere you can point me to do this properly? Thanks,

Any help? I believe it is only a small piece of coding?

I'm not sure what, exactly, you want. But if you just want the people to be redirected from members_only.php unless they're logged in, add this line to the top of the page:

// if the customer is not logged on, redirect them to the login page
 if (!tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) {
$navigation->set_snapshot();
tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));
 }

 

This is how osc does it, at least. I'm not seeing how what you're asking for differs from that?

Exactly what I was looking for. :) Now on to how to edit the registration page and what is required, and also add my own custom fields. :blink:

 

Any quick comments on the easiest way to do that? (for example, I don't want any part of the address to be required, but I do want to add a column for example "hair color" that is required that it will store in the database.
