Add Funds Restricted by User

[SeanP]

I need to restrict the Add Funds page to a select list of users.  I found the following hook written by Brian!, and modified it:

 

I would like to display some sort of Access Denied page, with a link to open a support ticket requesting access, instead of just redirecting the user.  What is the easiest way display a message and link on the Add Funds page, if the client does not have access?

<?php

# Allow Access To Add Funds Page Hook
# Written by brian! 

function allow_access_to_add_funds($vars) {
	
	$client = Menu::context('client');
	$afusers = array(5);
	if (!in_array($client->id,$afusers)) {
		header("Location: index.php");
		die;
	}
}
add_hook("ClientAreaPageAddFunds", 1, "allow_access_to_add_funds");

I got it working.  First add a new Custom Client Field called "Enable Add Funds" with a field type of "Tick Box".  Make sure to set it as "Admin Only":

 

Create a hook file under includes/hooks called "restrictaddfunds.php" with the code in it from the following link:

https://controlc.com/1bf20031

 

Now you can enable add funds on a client by client basis.

I tried your hook but it simply don't load the page rather than showing message to open a support ticket.
Is that how it is working for you?

[brian!]

if all you want is to show a message, then the quickest way would be to return the variable below inside your IF statement rather than the header/die in the hook above and that disables the page...

return array ("addfundsdisabled" => true);

the default message itself could be changed using Language Overrides.

another solution would be to manipulate the $errormessage variableif you wanted a more specific message for your situation.... though if this were me, i'd also be removing the sidebar/navbar links to the addfunds page for this user.

My final hook is on the following link:

https://controlc.com/ab094610

It doesn't show any links for Add Funds and does not allow clients to access the Add Funds page, if the "Enable Add Funds" custom field is not checked for their account.  It also displays the Credit Balance and Add Funds link in the sidebar, if the custom field is enabled for the client.

you could probably save some lines by using $vars['templatefile'] to get the template name rather than trying to determine it by filtering on the URL action values.... would also allow you to post the code here directly.

I agree that would probably be a better approach.  Thanks.

Hey Sean! Any chance you could re-share the code? It seems like the link died, probably too optimistic to think it would work 3 years later 😄

Thanks!
