Help with access to custom file by logged in user

HI

I have created some custom SQL reports/php files.

what im trying to do is create a  check against user database and give the user access to the file that meets the criteria.

here is what i have done

i have created a table (called customtable) which contains the following

institution

department

description

link (to each custom file relating to institution)


what im try i would like to do is:

if logged in user  is in institution and description in mdl_user and customtable then access file link in customtable if not then redirect to access denied page

my database is Postgres

i know i have to use the following

require_once('../../../config.php');
require_login();

Islogged in

Session handlers

So my line of thinking is

click button to php file that checks logged in user is in the institution in mdl_user against customtable institution if yes then open custom php file link if no redirect to access denied

I have basic php (but not moodle specific) and mysql skills  but this is bit beyond me.

im looking to extendmy skills.

I would be very grateful for any help

Hi

I have found a plugin that does what im seeking but unfortuantely it will not install on our moodle version 3.1.3

We cant upgrade due to staff issues at the present time
