VCD-db v. 0.991 - View movie without being logged in

[tazmahan]

First of all VCD-db is a great program for what if has to offer!

Now, onto the problem.

I have been trying to make VCD-db to allow unregistered users to view the movie I upload as an admin. I've found that the function that hides the play button resides in VCDPageBaseItem.php at around line 176:

Code: Select all

if (VCDUtils::isLoggedIn()) {
         $this->doMetadata();
      }

and by commenting this line it does shows the play button.

Thing is that if I press the play button nothing happens if I'm logged out, but if I'm logged in the file plays. I guess you have a code to the .class java file that checks to see if there's a session saved, so if it is, redirect the user to the appropriate page (?page=launcher&id=ID) but if not don't play it.

I know you have a special function in version 1.0 to make a movie playable for the public but I'm supposed to have a site ready the coming week (and I don't think you'll release the new version that fast cause I know it needs lots of work ), so I'm kinda stuck here.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

asked long time ago, but maybe the answer is helpful for other users:

in file /pages/pages.xml look for the section for the MoviePlayer

Code: Select all

   <page standalone="true" auth="true">
      <name>Movie launcher</name>
      <handler>VCDPageUserMoviePlayer</handler>


change auth="true" to auth="false"

thats it
