need a way to store non-public viewable notes with each page - willing to pay

[stevegos]

Hi, not sure if there is a ready made module for this but I need a way to save some non-publically viewable notes with each page. This needs to be saved with the database and viewed along side the web page when editing, or on a separate tab on the top.

Under the options tab there is field for Metadata. Could another text box be placed above this?

Can anyone suggest a way to do this? I'm willing to pay for the right solution.

This needs to be added to an existing live web site which is running V1.0.8.

I would be willing to upgrade to the latest version if it makes things easier.

EDIT: I've made a further note about what I need in the fourth post below - sorry perhaps I didn't make my request that clear.

Just add a content block to your template and place it in a div with an id of "noview". Then in your stylesheet, make that div hidden.

Template:


{content block="Page Info"}


CSS:

#noview {
visibility: hidden;
}

I'm no expert with CMSMS but I know you could use the "Custom Content" module and add this code to a page or template that you want the content hidden under.

{if $ccuser->loggedin()}
  {content block="private"} //adding this will create a content blocks named private put your private info here.
{else}
  {content}
{/if}

I had to put this in a template due to having trouble adding it to a content page due to the editor, even know I toggled it off the editor still rewrote the "->" Someone else may be able to help with that.

I'm using the FrontEndUser module so this work great for me.

Any once want to add to this in case I missed something?

I think what he wants is the ability to associate 'help' with each content page, so that the editors have guidelines as to what to do in that page.

I also think that he doesn't want certain people to be able to edit this area... just to view it.

Thanks for the advice... Perhaps I should explain a bit more...

The web site in question contains lists of property for sale which are simply entered by the custome rinto a predefined table in the editor.

Often the description for one property is the same for many. So the customer simply lists the property once.

However they need to know what the single listing refers to. So my customer has asked if it is possble to have a separate text box that they can enter some notes into that only they can see and update. This is then stored in the database.

Hope this makes more sense.

Thanks, Steve

don't use content blocks,  use a module like companydirectory for this type of stuff.

And get that site updated ASAP!!  There have been many many security holes found and fixed since 1.0.8!!!  You're just asking to get hacked, and then you're going to have more problems than just needing some hidden notes...

[stevegos]

Ok, I've downloaded and tested the CompanyDirectory module and it looks good. But it is rather an over-kill for the use I need.

Any other ideas for this problem anyone?

I'm quite happy to have something bespoked and the client is willing to pay!!!

Thanks in advance.

Yes I know it really needs updating the latest version. This is planned.

[stevegos]

Any one else got any ideas on how to do this???

I'm quite surprised on-one is willing to be paid for this!

If anyone wants to quote for this work, please contact me.
