Admin Required Link

[WineMan]

Is it possible to set up a static page or any other linked page that only the admin can access? I looked for a plugin that might do this, but if it exists I wasn't able to find it. Thanks in advance.

just create a new static page but do not add it to the menu

Thanks George, I tried that but can't get php code to work in a static page. Is it possible?

[George]

The {php} tag is disabled by default. Enable with $smarty->allow_php_tag=true

[WineMan]

Where do I enable that? I'm still trying to figure out this blog application. And thanks for the response.

Hey George; Wineman and I are partners in crime with the blog. I searched through almost all of the Smarty files and can't seem to find where to set php tags to true. I think we're gonna need some pointers here.

Hello, everyone,

apparently you have to put this in the new static admin page.

I found this about it.
Arvid may have a code snippet; PHP+Smarty is not my forte.

Best regards

It may not be "visible" on your site, but always remains publicly accessible through the direct link. Not a good idea if you want to protect information from the public - which is what I think WineMan tries to achieve. That said, ...

...what's the purpose of doing so? What do you try to achieve?

I tried that but can't get php code to work in a static page.

Just tested the Inline PHP plugin, works like a charm. Install and enable it, and then add your PHP code encapsulated in [exec] tags to your static page:

Code: Select all

Current time is [exec]echo  date('Y-m-d H:i:s T');[/exec]

But, as mentioned here, I strongly recommend rather building a plugin around the PHP code (which I still have no idea what its purpose is) than using the Inline PHP plugin in public FlatPress instances.

All the best,
Arvid

Arvid,

I have been playing around with the inlinePHP plugin and can't seem to make it work. I am specifically trying it on this code:

Code: Select all

if(!file_exists("data.txt"))
    {
        echo "The file cannot be found!";
        exit;
    }
    
    $fp = fopen("data.txt", "r");
    
    if(!$fp)
    {
        echo "File cannot be opened";
        exit;
    }
    echo "<table border = 2>";
    
    while(!feof($fp))
        {
            $info = fgets($fp);
			echo "<tr>";
			
            echo "<td>$info</td>\n";
			
			echo "<br />";
        }
        echo "</tr>\n";
        echo "</table>";
    fclose($fp)

I left out some of the html code that goes before the php code. Am I misunderstanding how it is supposed to work?

as Arvid said in his previous post your PHP code needs to be encapsulated in [exec]php code [/exec]
