Hello

You have to :
- assign your category to a section
- set a new role for members to read this section

Hi John,

at first you have to build in the login template to you members section, where the user can log in to this section of your website. You can copy the login.tpl
base/users/login.tpl to your template folder. Then include this template in the override for your member section.

Which version of eZ publish do you use?

You have to create a new section for your "member" folder and assign it to the folder "members". Go to "setup/sections" and create a new section. Maybe you want to call it "members". Assign the new section to the "members" Folder. Up to this point, the anonymous user is not allowed to see the "members" section. Now you have to create a new User group "members" with a new user "member". Finally you allow the user group "members" in the role policys to read the section "members".

Possibly what is happening is the anonymous user (users before logging in) dont have access to the members page at all and hence it dosent show in the menu. This would be due to the fetch (which generates the menu) not returning results it cant access.

You could test this by requiring user logins on the site and checking to see if an authorised user (using the default login page) can see the menu entry and access the area you want. Either way thats probably a good test to start with.

Hope thats of some help.

hi all,

Do anyone know how to fetch all the folder which are independent of roles and permissions. I want to fetch all the folders whether i am logged in or logged out. Obviously when I click on the restricted folder will show me login page.

cheers....

hi Nicolas,

thanks for quick and kind reply. mate can you please explain in more details. I am confused here, You said put your members folder into a folder called "login". The "login" folder is visible for everybody. How to do that.

cheers

Hi John,

i had the same problem a couple of weeks ago.

you want to create a folder "members" that only users can see who are logged in. You need a "login" menu item so that the "anonymous" users can log in and become a "member" user.

I solved the problem like this: in my menu I created a folder called "login", so my menu looked something like this: news products contact login

So everyone can see the login botton. In the "login" folder i put the folder which is reserved for the logged in "members" in your case. I created a "members" section and assigned it to the "members" folder. After that I gave the users in the usergroup "members" the right to see the "members" folder, so this folder is only visible for them and not for the anonymous user.

I created an override for the "login" folder which included the login.tpl and that's it!

hi Nicolas

In my case i dont want any login facility for the anonymous users, but only login facility (not signing up)for the members only so that members can see the restriced folder.

Please help.

yeah i am getting there, tell me one more thing. I cannot access the current logged in user on the following pages.

1. home index page
2. the members folder page

but on other pages i can access the current logged in user. What wrong in that.

sorry,

In the menu there are 5-6 categories, including login page acting as /members url fine. When i am logging in i am getting the members page on the right hand side of the site, but nothing under the login in the menu, means i cannot see the Members category under the login category.

I think this should help to make you understand.

cheers
