How can I set the Knowledgebase just for registered users?

[peeta]

I didn't see a switch in the configuration to set the Knowledgebase so that only registered users may access. (please alert me if I did miss it)

 

I tried the following with knowledgebase.tpl but it didn't work. The logged in user only sees ELSE content.

 

{if $loggedin}


{$LANG.knowledgebaseintrotext}</p>



[b]{$LANG.knowledgebasecategories}[/b]</p>

<table width="100%">
<tr>
{foreach key=num item=kbcat from=$kbcats}
<td width="33%" valign="top">[b][url="knowledgebase.php?action=displaycat&catid={$kbcat.id}"][img=images/support/folder.gif]{$kbcat.name}[/url][/b] ({$kbcat.numarticles})

{$kbcat.description}
</td>
{if $num is div by 3}
</tr>
<tr>
{/if}
{/foreach}
</tr>
</table>




<table width=100% cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td width=50% valign=top>



[b]{$LANG.knowledgebasepopular} {$LANG.knowledgebasearticles}[/b]</p>

<table width=100%>
{foreach key=num item=kbarticle from=$kbmostviews}
<tr><td>
[img=images/support/article.gif] [b][url="knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&catid={$kbarticle.category}&id={$kbarticle.id}"]{$kbarticle.title}[/url][/b]

{$kbarticle.article|truncate:50:"..."}

<font style="color:#A8A8A8;font-size:10px;">{$LANG.knowledgebaseviews}: {$kbarticle.views}</FONT>
</td></tr>
{/foreach}
</table>

</td><td width=50% valign=top>





<form method="post" action="knowledgebase.php?action=search">
<p align=center>[b]{$LANG.knowledgebasesearch}[/b]
<input type="text" name="search" size="25">
<input type="submit" value="{$LANG.knowledgebasesearch}"></p>
</form>

</td></tr></table>

{else}
View this
{/if}

 

Does anyone know how to do this?

That will work and only display the KB to a user when logged in. If they aren't logged in they would see the "View this" message.

It does work to block out the access and displays the 'else' alternative but when logged in it still displays only the alternative.

 

I'll send a PM with the access to try it.

Well apparently I am not authorized to send PMs so scratch that.
