HOW DO I: "hide" a field from all except a certain usergroup?

[ataraxia]

Is there a way to, say, modify the SHOWLINK or other templates so that only members of a specific user group can see a particular Links or Custom field? If so, how?

I am wondering if you could use some logic something like this: "IF user's usergroup = Moderator OR usergroup = Administrator THEN display the field ELSE do not display the field". How would you code that?

Thanks

Edit your 'adv_links_showlink_custombits' and change it to something like this:


<if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X) AND $field['fieldid'] == Y">

<else />
<tr class="$bgclass">
<td>$field[title]:</td>
<td>$field[value]</td>
</tr>
</if>

(Replace X with the usergroupid, and Y with the fieldid)

Haven't tested that, but it should work. :)

Hey! It works!!!! :)

Note the Brian refers to X and Y as the ID numbers above, not the names.

You can find the ID number for the Usergroup by going to AdminCP-->UserGroups-->UserGroup manager. It is displayed there. The custom field ID# is found by going to AdminCp --> VB Links Directory--> Custom fields --> then rightclicking on the "Edit" link for the custom field in question to load it into a new browser window. You will find the fieldID# in the URL. (There is probably a more direct way to do this!)

This appears to be a fairly simple way to "hide" a custom field!

Thanks, Brian! :-)

You can find the ID #'s for user groups by going to your UserGroup Manager and looking in the little dropdown menu to the right of the group name you want. You'll see it says "Edit usergroup (ID:x)". "x" is the # you want.

I find usergroup id

But How to find field id ??

[Brian]

Admin CP => vBa Links Directory => Custom Fields

Hold your mouse over the [Edit] link and you will see the field id for that field at the end of the link in your browser's status bar.

Tanks for reply

But i mean that field in attchments

Its not in Custom Fields

[Brian]

Edit your 'ADV_LINKS_SHOWLINK' template and add a condition around that table row.

[Damas]

Any clues on how to add second custom field which is only viewable by certain usergroup.

Tried adding the code below but came out with an error. Any assistance appreciated.

<if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6) AND $field['fieldid'] == 3">
<if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6) AND $field['fieldid'] == 4">
<else />
<tr class="$bgclass">
<td>$field[title]:</td>
<td>$field[value]</td>
</tr>
</if>
