Different content based on user id or group

Post by calguy1000 »

Does the UserID/protected pages modules have the ability to customize page content based on user or group.

i.e:

IF current_group == editors
  You have permission to upload files
  {cms_module module="uploads" .....}
endif

The idea is that public users would see a subset of the content, but authorized users would have special abilities.

Does anybody know how I can go about doing this?

The PunBB starts in this direction, but it doesn't really do it on a page-content basis. It can create nav that only shows you pages you have access to (and prevent you from viewing pages you don't).

I'l be releasing a new version of PunBB in the next few weeks that has a few new features (like a simple permissions-aware search).
Many modules available from the http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org
The CMS Made Simple Developer Cookbook is now available from Packt Publishers!
