Hello,

I am trying to figure out a solution to a problem, and I don't know where to begin.

I have four tiers of access to my site. Public, Registered, Member 1 and Member 2.

Member 2 have the ability to create a photo gallery, and there is a link to that photo gallery on their forum sidebar. I created that link using CB_Forum plugin Parameters > Forums > Sidebar... and the link goes to the user's profile and the gallery tab by using a link format: userprofile&user=[user_id]&tab=24.

All other tiers should see the link in the forum sidebar, can click it, but goes to a different page that says "Please Upgrade to Member 2"

Currently, Member 2 clicks link, they see Gallery Tab.

All other tiers click link, and they go to the next available tab, bypassing the gallery tab all together.

This is a three part question:

1) is it possible to open just the Gallery Tab as it's own page, with no other tabs available? A better way to link to the photo gallery tab.

2) Can there be a way to show a message on that tab to non-Member 2 asking them to upgrade?

3) Is there some other way to accomplish what I am wanting (if it makes sense)? A different component maybe? I'll take suggestions.

I have the Gallery Tab set to "CBSubs Fields Tabs Protect" Viewer's CB Controls visibility set to Member 2.

Please let me know if what I am asking does not make sense.

Thanks,
HighOnRyan

Krileon,

First thanks again for your amazing help, and quickness to answer.

I am a bit confused, thought. You're saying that CBSubs Content will not work under the CB_Forum sidebar override?

I have other substitutions there like [cb:if cb_member_registry="1"]Link to something[/cb:if] and that works, but CBSubs [cbsubs:if plan="PLAN_ID_HERE"]Link[ /cbsubs:if] will not work?

How do I add Custom HTML Field with prepare content to the sidebar through CB_Forums?

Thanks,

Krileon,

Thanks again for the help.

I apologize for being so daft, but I'm not sure if what you are explaining is the solution.

The link comes from the forum sidebar to the Gallery Tab.

Currently, I have a Check Box (Single) field called "cb_member_gallery" where 1 equal having a gallery. Which is located on a "Create Gallery" custom tab. The CB_Gallery is conditional on that checkbox.

Meaning, I have set the CB_Gallery Tab conditional on the "cb_member_gallery" field. If "cb_member_gallery" is checked then the Gallery Tab is viewable in the user's profile edit and photos can be uploaded. The CB_Gallery Tab is set to Nested Tab Menu so there are no tabs on the profile.

I have a substitution in the forum sidebar what shows a link to the CB_Gallery if there is one for the forum user:
It seems to me that your solution would be: if "cb_member_gallery"="1" then show link in forum sidebar, then link would go to another tab, where if any usergroup not Member 2, would see some HTML, but Member 2 would see another link to CB_Gallery tab?

I'm not sure if that would fly with my client. Having a double click like that, unless you are meaning something else.

It is from the link in the forum sidebar I need conditional link. If the viewer is Member 2, they go to the CB_Gallery tab. If anything any other usergroup, they go to a page asking them to upgrade.

I remember from another post that no additional fields can be added to the CB_Gallery tab, so I can't put the Custom HTML there, Can I?

I guess I don't understand how the Custom HTML CBSubs Content would work with the CB_Gallery.

Also, I tried on the forum sidebar to add a substitution likeand
Neither worked.

Thanks,
