Either Login or register to access

[mukwano]

Hi Gurus,

I need help with access control.

I would like to limit access to certain Menu content on my site to logged in registered users.
I was wondering if any one knew of a script or module that would do the following:

- If a user has not logged in, the site would throw a message similar to the following:

"This section is is open only to registered and logged-in users.
If you are already registered, please log in first."

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,

you can do that without a core hack, all you need to do is create a com_user output overwrite:

copy /.../components/com_user/views/login/tmpl/default_login.php
to /.../templates/[your-template]/html/com_user/login/default_login.php

Change that file so that it still has your login screen, and maybe a button to the register page.

You can read more about the Template Overwrites:

Mod Note: Moved to Template Overwrites.
