Using UserSpice Without the UI

[tradeJmark]

Hi,
I noticed your video on integrating UserSpice with existing websites seems to use an old version of UserSpice. The files have changed since then, and I was wondering what the bare minimum requirements now are to control user access to a page. I tried including header and init on my page, but all that did was add some css that I plan to get rid of anyway. The page was viewable in the Pages screen, but taking it private did not work, I was still able to access it while signed out.

The bare minimum you need is
1. A require_once to the init file
2. That securePage function that is at the top of each page.

Ah. It was the securePage thing I was missing. I'll give it a try with that in place. Thanks for the quick reply!

Yeah. No problem at all. Not only do you not need the ui, but by getting that init file in there, you pretty much get 100{3bc1fe685386cc4c3ab89a3f76566d8931e181ad17f08aed9ad73b30bf28114d} of the functionality of all the classes. (although you might need to include a few other things in your header...like the settings query and stuff like that).

Hi!

I've had the same problem but I'm still a bit confused.
What exactly is it we need a the top of each page?

I have tried in the head:

<?php require_once('/mybigfancyproject/users/init.php'); ?>
<?php if (!securePage($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])){die();} ?>

But it gave a blank page and didn't load any source could after and including this in the page.

I noticed on the walkthrough for monitoring additional files it is copying some function for 4.0 and for 4.2 just adding the directory to the array in z_us_root.php
I have 4.2 and tried this but didn't seem to work

Any ideas?
Thanks!

That init require doesn't quite look right.

Let's say your project is in mydomain.com and your init file is in mydomain.com/users/init.php your require would look like
<?php require_once('users/init.php'); ?>
If your page is located in the root (mydomain.com) folder. You also have to make sure you have ' quotes and not ’ quotes.

Ah thank you!!
I'm a bit of a beginner btw, thanks for the quick reply!
