How to set add-on's navtab permission based

[Dadparvar]

Hi,

My add-on has a navigation tab + child tabs.

I can set permission for usergroups to set if they can see child tabs or not.

But how to set Add-on's main tab in navbar permission based?

Regards

You must set the permission in the Listeners file where you have added the code for the navigation tab.

Would you mind providing an example code for that?

You can add the permission conditional before the $extraTabs array.

Can you please post here the code that you are using to add the tab?

I created tabs for my add-on using a route.

<?php

class Path_To_Route_Prefix_Index implements XenForo_Route_Interface
{
    public function match($routePath, Zend_Controller_Request_Http $request, XenForo_Router $router)
    {
        $action = $router->resolveActionWithIntegerParam($routePath, $request, 'template_id');
                $routeMatch = $router->getRouteMatch('Path_To_ControllerPublic_Index', $action, 'tabname', $routePath);
                return $routeMatch;
    }
}

I was talking about the code that adds the tab in the navigation menu, not the router.

Oosp!
the navigation.php file:

<?php

class Path_to_Listeners_Navigation
{
    public static function navtabs(array &$extraTabs, $selectedTabId)
    {
        $extraTabs['tabname'] = array(
            'title' => 'Name',
            'href' => 'name/',
            'selected' => ($selectedTabId == 'newsticker'),
            'linksTemplate' => 'my_temp_Navtabs',
        );
    }
}

and the template:

<ul class="secondaryContent blockLinksList">
    <li><a href="{xen:link pageofit/}">Title</a></li>
</ul>

 

[wang]

public static function navtabs(array &$extraTabs, $selectedTabId)
{
   if (XenForo_Visitor::getInstance()->hasPermission(permissionGroup', 'permissionName'))
   {
        $extraTabs['tabname'] = array(
            'title' => 'Name',
            'href' => 'name/',
            'selected' => ($selectedTabId == 'newsticker'),
            'linksTemplate' => 'my_temp_Navtabs',
        );
   }
}

            'title' => 'Name',
            'href' => 'name/',
            'selected' => ($selectedTabId == 'newsticker'),
            'linksTemplate' => 'my_temp_Navtabs',
        );
   }
}

Awesome.

Worked.

Thanks

You should be using the XF link builder instead of hard coding the URL like this:

'href' => 'name/'

The correct way is:

'href' => XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('name')

(It takes the same arguments as the {xen:link} template function).

Your href won't work for people without friendly URLs enabled and if the route was ever changed with a route filter, that wouldn't work properly either.

Awesome.

Worked.

Thanks

You are welcome sir.

Good catch, @Chris D, and thanks for taking the time to explain why xen:link should be used.
