protected content

By Carlo Laitano on Dec 18, 2008 at 7:45 PM 2 Vote 0 Votes

I’ve been trying to figure out how to protect content using MT. I tried MTProtect but it has a bug so I can’t use it. I’ve looked in the documentation but the page that talks about Hiding Content doesn’t seem to work.. http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/designer/showing-and-hiding-content-based-upon-a-login-state.html

Can anyone show me how to do it? All i want is to show a login form/logged in text, and show/hide specific content according to the logged in state.

    Privacy is the 4.X version. I got it working again (for the most part) on 4.1, but Arvind has been too busy to integrate the bug fixes I emailed him. The tags you mentioned there are wrappers around JavaScript, which is not a good solution if you want to genuinely hide content from users that haven't logged in.

    This may be educational for you, if you are comfortable putting some PHP into your blog.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
