Hi,

I am fairly certain this has come up before, but I am afraid I could not find it (likely used the wrong search terms )

Anyway, I was wondering if it is possible to use UBBT to control access to non-UBBT pages. In other words, I would like to allow members of the board access to different pages on my website depending on their Group.

I assume this should be possible by adding some code to the top of every page on my site that checks for Group, right?

Sanuk!

Yes this is possible. I've done it for my gaming roster add on.

Here's an example, I place this near the top of my file, right after the require statements. There's probably a better way... but it works great for me.

Code
 <br />//Snag Authentication stuff <br />$userob = new user; <br />$user = $userob -> authenticate("U_Groups"); <br />$Username = $user['U_Username']; <br />$UserID = $user['U_Number']; <br /> <br />// Let's authenticate the user to see if they have proper group permissions to add characters <br />$html = new html; <br />if (!preg_match("/$config[Roster_Group]/", $user[U_Groups]) ) <br />{ <br />	$html -> not_right ("I'm sorry, you do not have permissions to access this form. If you feel this is in error, please contact the administrator."); <br />} <br />


The $config[Roster_Group] is defined in the admin -> config settings -> "other variables" section. For my use, it's group number 5, that way I can use it quickly on any page I need to authenticate against groups.

Hope this helps.

Was just heading off to dream land when I remembered I forgot to mention that all my roster page addon files are stored in their own directory under the addons directory in the Threads directory.

I found it was just easier to grab threads paths and includes this way.
