[solved] how can I restrict my Component?

[_domk]

Hi everyone,

I have written a Component to write data into a database table.

How can I achieve, that only registered users can launch that component??

Thanks in advance...

Welcome to the forum!

At the beginning of the code use something similar like this:

Code: Select all

$user =& JFactory::getUser();
if ( $user->guest ) {
  echo( 'You need to log in to use this component' );
  return false;
} else {
  return true;
}

Thank You very much.

Works like a charm now.

No problem. However the code I wrote is not the best, first I wanted to write a function, that's why I included the return true and false values, but with the simple if statement there is no need to have return values.
