Implemented Add Permissions for Widgets

[Gator]

Please add "permissions" for individual Widgets. For example, I want only those who log into the site to see certain Widgets.

Thanks for listening

I think it could be archived using template. Permission for individual widget seems too complicate.

 

[Sal Collaziano]

Please add widgets to the permissions system. I'd like to add a sidebar for guests only and currently cannot do so. I imagine there are many reasons for people needing the ability to display widgets based on user group...

There's two things that can help for right now.

1) Create the widget that you want, but don't assign it to a position. Give it a "widget key" for example "my_widget".
2) Create a new "HTML" widget in the desired position. Check the "Advanced mode" box. In the "Template" field type:

<xf:if is="!$xf.visitor.user_id">
    <xf:widget key="my_widget" />
</xf:if>

That should give you the desired effect.

I'm trying this - but I keep getting an error when trying to save #2...

Oops! We ran into some problems.
Template titles must be unique. The specified title is already in use.

Even if I don't have any title at all...

I'm trying to use this with an HTML widget. So does having the actual widget I want displayed AND they one using Advanced mode cause some kind of conflict?

 

[Sal Collaziano]

I got it working. I had to use the reverse order - first step 2, then step 1... Thank you...

 

[Sal Collaziano]

Now my next question - is there a way to customize what displays in this specific widget so that it doesn't appear as the same as the sidebar on the main page?

Permissions built into the widget screen would be nice, maybe even a simple approach as the navigation has it:

 

[Chris D]

Heh, that's a nice thought. As simple as it looks, it's far from it. To make that happen, we have to compile all of the navigation stuff to PHP code. Not insurmountable, and it was considered at one point, but it's a fairly huge undertaking.

Maybe this would help?

Spoiler: May the force be with you...

Damn, I just noticed this thread and though "That is a very good idea" and wanted to give it a like ... but then I noticed that I already liked the first post

 

[BassMan]

Same here

@Chris D. This works great, but I want to make it so visitors (guests) cannot see the widget, but logged in users can see the widget.

@Gator

Add this to your widget:



If using XF 2.1.

 

[Chris D]

Are you using XF2.1 yet? If so, it’s easier now.

There’s a new “Display conditions” field. To show to logged in users only add:

$xf.visitor.user_id

 

[Gator]

Thanks a bunch. Adding it now.

 

[hibiskus]

I have a widget with ads, and I want only the unregistered user to see this widget.
What would be the "Display condition:"?

No one any idea?

 

[Gator]

No one any idea?

$xf.visitor.user_id = Registered users only
!$xf.visitor.user_id = Unregistered users only

 

[DerTobi75]

Is it possible to add two conditions? Like IsUnregisteredUser AND Node == 123?!
