Members View Real-Time Postings, Guests Only View Old Postings...

Hello,

Members of the site will be able to view real-time stories as
they are posted and guests will only be able to view 7 day old data, stories. Do you know of a plugin that will do this or do you know of an easy way to adjust the PHP code to make this happen? Thanks.

I'm not aware of a plugin or hack that does this, but it shouldn't be too hard to tweak index.php to make it do that.

bye, Dirk

I added this to my index.php and now that functionality is working. Let me know of any comments or feedback. Thank you.

if ($_USER['uid']>1) {
$sql = "FROM {$_TABLES['stories']} WHERE (date } else {
$sql = "FROM {$_TABLES['stories']} WHERE (date }

Sorry, here is the full code:

// These statements below allows only members of the site to view the stories as
// they are posted. Guest view stories that have been posted x days ago (in this
// case it's 7 days).

if ($_USER['uid']>1) {
$sql = "FROM {$_TABLES['stories']} WHERE (date } else {
$sql = "FROM {$_TABLES['stories']} WHERE (date }

Last time: here it is, sorry. I needed to post in Text Mode.

if ($_USER['uid']>1) {
$sql = "FROM {$_TABLES['stories']} WHERE (date <= NOW()) AND (draft_flag = 0)";
} else {
$sql = "FROM {$_TABLES['stories']} WHERE (date <= DATE_SUB(NOW(),INTERVAL 7 DAY)) AND (draft_flag = 0)";
}
