Hi all,
I have been posting in another thread regarding a customisation of Hikashop. Xavier of Hikashop suggested I come here for my answer.
Here's the thread so far:
But to summarise, here's what I'm after:
I am setting up a shop that will sell photos taken at sports events.
Some of the photos will be of children, so I want to protect these from the general public as much as possible.
At each event where photographs are taken a passkey will be published. This will enable registered users to the site to access the selection of photos from that event. I know this is not a super secure way of protecting the photos, but I think at least it will provide some security.
So when the user gets to the site they will first have to register - then they will be given a list of events. When they click on their specific event they will have to enter the published passkey before they see the photos from that event. This will be a category within Hikashop.
In the previous thread, Xavier from Hikashop, gave me the following advice:
I think that you have to use the custom fields on the table category to set a password by category.
Then edit the view which is listing the products, generally "product / listing_img_title" and in this view add a check for the password.
So I have added a custom field called "passkey".
He then told me to add the following code:
Code:
if(!empty($this->element->passkey) && $app->getUserState( HIKASHOP_COMPONENT.'.passkey') != $this->element->passkey){
// Display only a form to enter the passkey
// > when pressing submit, save the value in session, and reload the page.
// To save in session, you can use: $app->setUserState( HIKASHOP_COMPONENT.'.passkey',JRequest::getVar('passkey',''));
}elseif(empty($this->element->passkey) || $app->getUserState( HIKASHOP_COMPONENT.'.passkey') == $this->element->passkey){
// Display the the code
}
And he told me to add it here:
Add it in the view "product / listing" before:
if(($this->params->get('show_image') && !empty($this->element->file_path))|| ($this->params->get('show_description',!$this->module)&&!empty($this->element->category_description))){
I've done this, but got the following error:
"Fatal error: Call to a member function getUserState() on a non-object in mysite/templates/js_memo/html/com_hikashop/product/listing.php on line 117"
Xavier said:
That's probably because $app is not declared, you can use '$app = JFactory::getApplication();'
That's when he told me to post here, in the commercial jobs.
I am not a coder so I don't understand how to use the $app solution.
Can anybody help, please.
