Custom function is interrupting cornerstone preview - any help?

[Felixius]

Hello there,

I have a small problem. While creating a custom template, I needed to create a function that checked if the user is logged in and of a certain role. If they aren’t, they will be booted to the registration page.

So All I am doing is checking for login and say… the role of subscriber. If they do not meet this criteria, they are shunted off to another page via a header reference.

However, when adding content in cornerstone, the preview will not load. I don’t have a problem using the wireframe builder they have, but my client will likely not like it.

Does anyone know of a better way so I can have my cake and eat it too?

The below link should help you with this.

how to auth_redirect to specific page | WordPress.org

Rather than a redirect you force the user to login to view the content on that template.

One of the examples can be shown below:

<?php
	/**
	 * Template Name: Login
	 * The template for Employee Login form
	 **/
	if(have_posts()) :
		get_header();
		// If the user is logged in, show them the content
		if( is_user_logged_in() ) :
			while(have_posts()) :
				the_post();
				the_content();
			endwhile;
		// If the user is not logged in, force them to log in
		else :
			wp_login_form();
			echo '<p id="loginnav">';
			wp_register( '', ' | ' );
			echo '<a href="';
			bloginfo( 'wpurl' );
			echo '/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword" title="Password Lost and Found">Lost your password?</a></p>';
		endif;
		get_footer();
	else :
		header( 'Location: ' . esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ) . '/404' );
	endif;
?>

@flaming - Thanks for your help! I like how you really take the time and effort!

The issue I was having (and have given up on it since) was to do with roles. I didn’t want admin level to see a page, but a member level (say subscriber to see it). While I was able to preview the page using ‘preview’, I could not work out a way to preview within Cornerstone, as being logged in as admin and not subscriber would redirect me.

Anyway, no biggie, I have since given up on that weird function (weird in hind sight!).
