Paint Layout Conditional Statements

Squiz Matrix Support

Hi guys,


Im currently trying to block off the content of a page if it hasnt been refered by an appropriate url. Im using a basic design and a Customisation with a conditional statement on the server variable HTTP_REFERER



Only problem is after clicking on the refering page I get a blue php error.



PHP Warning

File: [SYSTEM_ROOT]/core/assets/system/conditions/condition_types/condition_server_variable/condition_server_variable.inc Line: 65

Message: Unknown modifier '/'

Backtrace: Show



Am i barking up the wrong tree with this idea?

Are you just inputting a ‘/’ for the match? Matrix is expecting a php preg_match type regular expression (without the delimeters).

At the moment I have the full URL as the match in the pattern field. eg php preg_match



I take it this isnt correct but how would this translate into a preg match?

I think, you would have to escape the special characters, so it would be:
http:\/\/www.test.com\/referpage.asp



If that doesn't work, try escaping the dots as well:

http:\/\/www\.test\.com\/referpage\.asp

Thanks Daniel that first one worked a treat.



Much appreciated that has solved a BIG problem for us.

On a side note is it possible to suppress the blue matrix errors that appear if youve come from a site that is outside the restriction list?

It's probably not possible to suppress those particular errors, but if your site/system is live, you should turn "Show Errors on Frontend" to "Off" in System Preferences to remove all such warnings.
