James Packham	Thursday 02 October 2003 4:14:07 am Hi I want different users to have different "views" of my site. To do this I've started with a fairly simple example, using the news template site as a basis. I have two versions of pagelayout.tpl, the original and a modified version where the menu items "login" and "register" appear on the left menu. I want anonymous users to see the modified template and logged in users to see the original. Here they are displayed in the news_admin interface: Template Design Resource /pagelayout.tpl design/news/templates /anonpagelayout.tpl design/news/override/templates I also have an entry in settings/siteaccess/override.ini.append that reads: [anon_user_view] Source=/pagelayout.tpl MatchFile=/anonpagelayout.tpl Subdir=templates Match[class]=10 (with 10 being the class of the anonymous user) It doesn't seem to be working, have I gone about it the right way? I don't mind if no one can help me fix it, I just wanted to know if I'm doing this the wrong way... ~James~

James Packham	Friday 03 October 2003 2:27:15 am Hi First of all thank you for your help! :) I wasn't sure if anyone was going to get back to me, so was very thankful and relieved to see that you had! Second, I was reading a documentation about this after I read your post that was very helpful in taking me further, but I came in this morning and I can't remember what it was called (doh!)! Could you, or anyone else reading this help me out with finding it? Cheers! ~James~

I want different users to have different "views" of my site. To do this I've started with a fairly simple example, using the news template site as a basis.

I have two versions of pagelayout.tpl, the original and a modified version where the menu items "login" and "register" appear on the left menu. I want anonymous users to see the modified template and logged in users to see the original. Here they are displayed in the news_admin interface:

Template Design Resource
/pagelayout.tpl design/news/templates
/anonpagelayout.tpl design/news/override/templates

I also have an entry in settings/siteaccess/override.ini.append
that reads:

[anon_user_view]
Source=/pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=/anonpagelayout.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[class]=10

(with 10 being the class of the anonymous user)

It doesn't seem to be working, have I gone about it the right way? I don't mind if no one can help me fix it, I just wanted to know if I'm doing this the wrong way...

You must specify the section, too:

Match[section]=4
Match[class]=10

So, before you have to assign to your content a different section for every different template.

It works for me.
