protectedPages/custom page content

[calguy1000]

I would LOVE the ability to display only certain content on a page to authorized users

i.e:
{if currentGroup=someauthorizedgroup}
You are allowd to see this stuff
{endif}
{if currentGroup=someothergroup}
Some Other Content
{endif}

the protectedPages stuff is almost there, we just need the ability to put this type of expression onto the page.... hope somebody can help with this.

Hi Calguy1000

I reallt do not know if this is possible, seems to be a smarty thing, and I'm not that well into smarty. If someone can point me to some source stating that it is possible I'll be happy to look into implementing this in the PPages module.

Best regards

I've been doing some reading, and thinking and think that we are almost there.

I am wondering if it would be possible to modify the UserId module to register some smarty plugins, or to assign some variables so that we could do something like

{$currentuser->ingroup p1="specialusers" assign="valid"}
{if $valid == 1 }
You're Special
{/if}

What do you think wishy?

Modules can't register new plugins currently.

So much to do...

I modified the UserID module and added a

$this->smarty->register_object( "user_id", $this );

into the DoAction method.
I put

{cms_module module="UserID"} into the top of my template, and then then put code like this into my page

{if $UserID->function( param1, param2 ) }

{/if}

but all I got was a smarty error of:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/html/cms/tmp/templates_c/%%28^288^2881AF93%%db%3Atesting.php on line 33

was wondering if anybody had any insights as to what I can do to fix this.
