Hi Daniel

You should be able to control this using Member groups - On the "Images" node you setup protection and only allow members of certain groups.

Then in your razor rendering you can check if an item is restricted or accessible by all.

The same goes for "Documents" but you will need to group them in "public" and "Restricted" childs...if you need to hide some of the restricted documents for certain members but make them visible for other members you need to have more user groups and a structure that allows you to specify that certain documents in the restricted area are only visible for a certain group as well.

I hope this makes sense? :)

You should be able to check for access using a combination of .HasAccess() .IsProtected() btw.

/Jan

All Members belong to one or more Roles.
You can easily set up new roles in the Members Dashboard.

If you right-click on a page in the content tree, you can select Public Access => Role based, where you can specify the roles which have access to the page.

You can also check if a member is in a role or group or whatever in the code with MembershipHelper.IsMemberAuthorized().

If you want to do checks (i.e. Documents) for specific members, you can do something like this in your controller:

Document myDocument = ....

if (!Members.IsLoggedIn() || Members.GetCurrentMember().Id != myDocument.CreatorId)
{
  return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.Forbidden);
}

Hope this helps, bye Tobi

Thank you both! I'll give it a try!

Just a quick question.

Is this the way to structure it? Or do you have a better surgestion?

Home (all)
- News (all)
- Images (private)
--- Ryan
--- Sophie
--- James
- Calendar (all)
- Documents (some for all / some private)
--- Shared
--- Ryan
--- Sophie
--- James

Thank you!

Daniel

Hi Daniel

I think that structure looks fine and it should work fine as well :)

/Jan

Thank you! :-)

Hi again

I tried doing it, but it does not seem to work. I added role based protection to the parent nodes and it doesnt work.

Home - access for all members
- News
- Images
- Calendar
- Documents
--- Shared - no protection other than from the top level node
----- node
----- node
----- node
--- Ryan - Added protection for first group
----- node
----- node
----- node
--- Sophie  - Added protection for second group
----- node
----- node
----- node

Here is my partial view:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

@if (CurrentPage.Children.Where("Visible").Any())
{
    <ul>            
        @foreach (var childPage in CurrentPage.Children.Where("Visible"))
        {
            if(childPage.HasAccess())
            {
                <li>
                    <a href="@childPage.Url">@childPage.Name</a>
                </li>

                foreach (var item in childPage.Children.Where("Visible")) 
                {
                    <a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a><br>
                }
            }
        }
    </ul>
}

When the if.HasAccess is not here, everything is shown, but when there, nothing is shown.

Can you guys see, where I am going wrong?

Thank you for your help! :-)

Daniel

Hi Daniel

Are you logged in as either of the groups when nothing is shown? And what exact version of Umbraco 7 are you using?

/Jan

Yes, I am logged in.

I am using the second newest version. Don't remember the number. :-)

Daniel

Hi Daniel

Ok - Don't know if it will work but could you try to upgrade to 7.2.2? I think the above code looks fine and should be working...but have not tried doing it in Razor before though.

/Jan

Hi Jan

It did not work, but it was worth a try :-)

Thanks!

Daniel

Hello Daniel,

I see that you wrote:

"I am making a website, where there is a login protected members area. I know how to make that, so that is not the problem."

But i do not know how to do this, and I don't find anything about it in the internet, can anyone help me? How should I make private area? Via code, or via CMS? Thank you all!

Hi Shlomit,

Try working through my blog posts:

• Creating a Protected Members Area
  • Part 2
  • Part 3 - a full MVC solution

That should cover what you need. Any questions - start a new thread !

Hope that helps
