Implemented Method to check permissions in a template

[xf_phantom]

Since we don't "need" to use template hooks anymore, it would be really cool if we could check the $visitor permissions in the template too.

Because of the missing template hook code, i would need to use the proxy class system to extend the controller to attach only

$parentReturn->params['canViewFoo'] = XenForo_Visitor::getInstance()->hasPermission('my_addon','view');

Would be nice to avoid the overhead and be able to check the permission direct in the template

You can already do this. The visitor object contains all of the unserialized permissions:

<xen:if is="{$visitor.permissions.group.permission}">

Where group is the permissions group, eg forum and permission is the actual permission eg view.

@Chris D any tips on how to do this for Xenforo 2? I've got the add-on I'm about to release checking permissions via a php file and I want to add a phrase for part of it which leaves me not able to because if I add a phrase in a string it doesn't work. If I could check the permissions in part of the template that would really help. Thanks if you have any idea.

@Chris D I tried this but it doesn't work. It works for me in the php file but not the template:

<xen:if is="$xf.visitor.hasPermission('permissionGroup', 'permission')">{{ phrase('myPhrase') }}</xen:if>

You are using a combo of XF1 and XF2 syntax. Try this...

<xf:if is="{{ $xf.visitor.hasPermission('permissionGroup', 'permission') }}">{{ phrase('myPhrase') }}</xf:if>

That must have been the problem. Thank you @Bob I will definitely give that a try!
