XF 2.0 Conditionals for widgets

[Mr Lucky]

Is there a way to apply conditional statements to widgets, e.g. to show a widget to only a specific user or user group?

Thanks

If not, is there a way to include a widget in a notice?

Our recommendation is to create the desired widget instance with no positions selected, then create a new HTML widget. You can then use conditionals directly in that wrapped around a call to the widget you created, e.g.

<xf:if is="$xf.visitor.isMemberOf([5, 6, 7])">
    <xf:widget key="widget_key_for_your_widget" />
</xf:if>

I thought of that, the problem is although only the group defined sees the content everyone else sees the widget as an empty widget.

Or maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

 

[Mr Lucky]

It can work if I add it directly into a template of course instead of wrapping in an HTML widget and choosing a default display position

 

[Chris D]

You'd need to click "Advanced mode" for the HTML widget. Sorry, forgot that bit. That should render it without a container and rely on the inner widget to do that (if visible).

Is it a plan for the future to set conditionals in widget settings? It's an important feature.

BTW.
Another nice to have widget position: everywhere in sidebar

That would be:
Public: Sidebar top

Thanks,

that's the position I'm searching for.

Another question about the widgets:

Is it possible to disable widgets in mobile view?

 

[Heffalump]

Try it again.

Is it possible to disable a single widget in mobile view?

Eventually it is necessary to explain the forum rules clearer. No answer for a question means.....

1. No idea
2. I don't know
3. It isn't possible
4. It is possible but... (see 1.)
5. It's all the same to me
