I'm writing a module that handles people's membership status. I'm using PayPal to handle the payments so people can upgrade their membership, etc. The membership module is not available to guests/anonymous users.

In order to interface to PayPal I need a page which can be accessed by PayPal - which means accessible by guests. It's the payment completed page.

What is the best way to arrange this? It looks like I could just create the page in the top folder of my site, but I would prefer to keep the files for the module together.

Any help is appriciated! Thanks!

I guess it isn't possible then?

I did something similar. My solution was to set $xoopsOption['nocommon'] = 1 before including mainfile.php, and then include a stripped-down copy of include/common.php without the web-related or permissions-related code.

Thanks! That appears to work just fine!

I copied common.php into my module folder and renamed to commonpublic.php. Included in my .php file for my public web page. Set tbe nocommon option. Then commented out everything from:

############## Login a user with a valid session ##############

to the second-to-last closing brace. Seems to work with no side effects. Cheers!

Actually if you comment out all that code then if a user is logged in, that page will appear as if they are not. If you instead comment out from:

if ($xoopsConfig['closesite'] == 1) {

to the second to last closing brace (inclusive) then the page will appear correctly for both logged in and not logged in.
