Hiding Private Content Tutorial Help

[emiller]

"Hiding Private Content in CMS Made Simple" is a great document, but I think may need an update. After walking through the tutorial, I ran into a problem on page 24, bullet number 3. There is no "extra1" field, but under Content >> Pages, I can edit "Restricted Test 1", go to the "Options" tab, there is a "Extra Page Attribute 1:", but adding the word 'restricted' doesn't appear to set the $node->extra1 == 'restricted'. In the next step in the book (bullet 4), adding the 'if' brackets around the simple-restricted Menu Manager templete seems to indicate the $node->extra1 == ''. Any idea how to set the "Restricted Test 1" pages $node->extra1 varable?

Thanks in advance,

HI,

If you installed CustomContent and FEU, you should be able to choose "restricted (or protected) content" in the type of content scrolldown. You will also see a "permissions" tab giving you access to a menu where you can grant or not one or many groups you created before in FEU.

Calguy implemented this some time ago. Thanks to him cause its much easier and you keep extra fields free

And make sure that you dont call Menu with loadprops="0", as that doesnt push the properties to the call.

Ah, thanks! That works so much easier. I did manage to figure out a convoluted way also, but the pull down menu doesn't require messing with the menu manager templates. Although this did help me learn a little bit about smarty code, calguy's way is much nicer and cleaner.

thank you all!
