Thread: I am not understanding something... (menu_design.php)

Hello,
In the script menu_design.php (templates/templ_dfl/scripts) they compare a array with a member.
By that i mean this:

PHP Code:

function TopCodeMenuItem( $text, $link, $path='', $target='' )
{
    global $site;
    global $link_arr;
    global $logged;

    if ( !strlen( $path ) && !strlen($onclick) ) $path = $site['url'];
    
    $active = IsMenuItemActive( $link, $path );
    
        
    $ret = "";
    if ( !$active )
    {
        $link = $link_arr['0'];
        $ret .= '<li>';
            $ret .= '<div class="active" onmouseover="this.className=\'over\'" onmouseout="this.className=\'active\'">';
                if (('_Chat' == $text)&&($logged['member']))
                {
                    $ret .= '<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick=\'javascript: window.open("' . $path . $link . '", "' . _t("$text") . '", "dependent,left=150,right=50,height=550,width=790,resizable=yes,scrollbars=no");\'>'. _t("$text") . '</a>';                                 
                }
                else
                { 
                $ret .= '<a href="' . $path . $link . '" ' . $target . ' title="' . _t("$text") . '">' . _t("$text") . '</a>';
                } 


On the top where the function begins the call the array $logged, $site and $link_arr trough the global.
But where are the pulling this array from.
I know that the array $site is in inc/header.inc.php.
But i don't see anything about an include or require somewhere.
The problem with my site is that i installed flaschat and when a non member clicks on the chat button he can login.
A member with restriction cannot join (that's good) but a member who's paid for it cannot join the chat (i get a new window with my site in it).
I changed te

PHP Code:

$ret .= TopCodeMenuItem( '_Chat', 'aemodule.php?ModuleName=chat', $site['url'] ); 


To:

PHP Code:

$ret .= TopCodeMenuItem( '_Chat', 'aemodule.php?ModuleName=fchat', $site['url'] );

You really need to use a programmers editor that allows you to search multiple files and subdirectories for strings. Without that, you will never be able to find the variables / functions in other php files in the code base.

The problem with my site is that i installed flaschat and when a non member clicks on the chat button he can login.

When you installed flashchat, did you indicate in Flashchat that you were installing it on an aeDating / Dolphin site? If not, it will install as "stateless" and allow non-members to login.

Also, did you load the fc.aemod located in the /modules directory in the manage modules panel in admin?
