XF 2.2 Sidebar widget only viewable to certain groups?

[DarkGizmo]

Is it possible to limit the visibility of a specific sidebar widget to only certain groups? If so, how can this be achieved?

Sure, use the “ Display condition” setting for the widget. $xf.visitor.isMemberOf(123) for single group, and $xf.visitor.isMemberOf([123, 124, 125]) for multiple groups.

 

[DarkGizmo]

so where the 123 is i put the group ID, correct? and this will work if they are a member of that group even as a secondary group?

 

[Ozzy47]

Correct.

Quick question: what if I want all users to see the widget except for only one user group? How would I write that? Please let me know. Thanks!

I have an old forum with about 50 user groups - I am trying to alleviate listing all of these numbers except for one.

Just negate the condition:
!$xf.visitor.isMemberOf(123)

Just negate the condition:
!$xf.visitor.isMemberOf(123)

And how would one do that? I don't have a coder handy. Thanks!

?
I've already posted how to negate the condition (by placing an ! at the beginning).

Ok - thanks! Much appreciated. I didn't know how that was done.

I have a question, I have a widget that for some reason is only shown to registered users. Is there any code to show it to all users?

Unless you specifically chose not to, or permissions are involved, widgets are automatically shown to all visitors.

Yes, I solved it, the widget involved the attached files as images. Now I enabled the attachments so that all users can see them and it worked
