Role dependant content?

dkodr · November 2008

Is it possible to create a role-dependant content? Lets say I've created a page using Page Manager and want users with different roles see different content. Can it be done using PHP (Page Manager allows PHP)?

Now there's a good idea - let us know if anyone comes up with anything!

yes you can write php in page manager pages. e.g.<p>Hello <?php echo $this->Context->Session->User->Name; ?> !</p>

@miquel: That actually isn't the answer to my question; I already know that I can use PHP in Page Manager, but thank you for your input.

What if statement should I use to determine a user's role?

<?php switch($this->Context->Session->User->RoleID) {
case 4:
// Administrator code
case 3:
// Member code
case 2:
// Banned code
case 1:
// Unauthenticated code
}

<?php
if ($this->Context->Session->UserID == 0)
{
$URL="http://path.to/forum/?Page=Guest";
header ("Location: $URL");
} 
?>

This is what I use to re-direct non-members to a Page Manager page (called Guest) I want guests to see.

I hope it helps.

Later... Here it is in an if-else statement...

<?php
if ($this->Context->Session->UserID > 0)
{
$URL="http://path.to/forum/?Page=Member";
header ("Location: $URL");
} 
else 
{
$URL="http://path.to/forum/?Page=Guest";
header ("Location: $URL");
}
?>
