I looked for "$extra1" but could not find.

passthru_*="null" - Pass named parameters down to specified modules. The format of each of these parameters is: "passtru_MODULENAME_PARAMNAME='value'" i.e.: passthru_News_detailpage='newsdetails'"

{search passthru_News_category='restricted*'}

object(stdClass)#456 (7) {
  ["url"]=>           string(117) "http://www...."
  ["urltxt"]=>        string(26) "Title..."
  ["title"]=>         string(9) "News..."
  ["intweight"]=>     int(3)
  ["module"]=>        string(4) "News"
  ["modulerecord"]=>  string(3) "300"
  ["weight"]=>        int(100)
}

is this value being passed to the output template of the search module where I am testing this filtering you suggest?

Please specify where the code segments you suggest would have toi be inserted

step 2 goes to news summary template (created specially for search results, titlelinks only)
step 3 - news detail templates (you want to be sure content visible to authorized vistors)
step 4 - test page first, later to main page template
step 5 - search result template

{if empty($entry->extra)||($ccuser->loggedin()&&$ccuser->memberof($entry->extra))}

show summary

{/if}

   {if $entry->module=='News' category!='Private'}
       ...
   {/if}

Is my interpretation of this code proper?
Code:
{if empty($entry->extra)||($ccuser->loggedin()&&$ccuser->memberof($entry->extra))}
show summary
{/if}
- if updated content of $entry is NULL (that is extra is empty in the news item) OR if user is logged in AND he/she is member of group as specified in extra
- THEN show news using the summary template

1. I wanted to verify if extra has the value in the summary template that I assigned to it in the news item page ("restricted"). Hence in the above code (for step2) I inserted "{$extra|print_r} to print its value. Its value is always "1".

{if empty($entry->extra)||($ccuser->loggedin()&&$entry->extra=='restricted'))}
show summary
{/if}

{$entry|print_r}

2. I am uncertain if the value of extra is passed on from the news item page to the summary or for that matter the detailed templates. What is the rule and code that applies to transferring values of parameters?

object(stdClass)#441 (23) {
  ["author_id"]=>
  string(1) "1"
  ["author"]=>
  string(7) "admin"
  ["authorname"]=>
  string(17) "..."
  ["id"]=>
  string(3) "359"
  ["title"]=>
  string(40) "Blah"
  ["content"]=>
  string(2139) "..."
  ["summary"]=>
  string(692) "..."
  ["postdate"]=>
  string(19) "2009-10-16 13:45:54"
  ["extra"]=>
  string(2) "53"
  ["startdate"]=>
  string(19) "2009-10-16 13:45:54"
  ["enddate"]=>
  NULL
  ["create_date"]=>
  string(19) "2009-10-16 13:56:05"
  ["modified_date"]=>
  string(19) "2009-12-19 00:44:08"
  ["category"]=>
  string(23) "..."
  ["fieldsbyname"]=>
  array(0) {
  }
  ["fields"]=>
  array(0) {
  }
  ["file_location"]=>
  string(43) "http://www.test..../uploads/news/id359"
  ["link"]=>
  string(167) "http://www.test..."
  ["titlelink"]=>
  string(222) "BLAH"
  ["morelink"]=>
  string(189) "More"
  ["moreurl"]=>
  string(167) "http://www.test..."
  ["printlink"]=>
  string(199) "Print"
  ["printurl"]=>
  string(174) "http://www.test..."
}

3. If this is the code for checking on the status of the user being logged in
"{if $ccuser->loggedin()} ...{/if}

{if !$ccuser->loggedin()} ...{/if}

{if empty($ccuser->loggedin())} ...{/if}

4. Is this construct correct?
Code:
   {if $entry->module=='News' category!='Private'}
       ...
   {/if}
For me it did not work. The idea to use it in the search results template would be to check if the item is coming from the News module and if its category is not Private; then the result could be displayed. Is the values of category passed to the search template?

{if $entry->module=='News'&&category!='Private'}
       ...
   {/if}

Structure of one search result looks like this
Code:

object(stdClass)#456 (7) {
  ["url"]=>           string(117) "http://www...."
  ["urltxt"]=>        string(26) "Title..."
  ["title"]=>         string(9) "News..."
  ["intweight"]=>     int(3)
  ["module"]=>        string(4) "News"
  ["modulerecord"]=>  string(3) "300"
  ["weight"]=>        int(100)
}

5. Where can I learn more on the followings with a focus on their implementation in CMSMS?

passing parameters values in between templates

- passing parameters values in between content extra1, etc., and templates
- passing parameters values in between news extra and templates
- conditional testing on page attributes
- definitions of CMSMS tags
