panel only visible to admins

monstr

hejhej.
is it possible to have the panel on the comments page only displayed when you are logged in as a admin?

Hi, I see two ways to do it, I'll give you the cleanest:
create a new theme and put a conditional statement around the code of panel.php (some code is stolen from appg/init_vanilla.php)
// this code is not tested $DisplayPanel = false; if ( $Context->SelfUrl == "comments.php" ) { if ($Context->Session->UserID > 0) { $RequiredPermissions = array('PERMISSION_CHECK_FOR_UPDATES', 'PERMISSION_APPROVE_APPLICANTS', 'PERMISSION_MANAGE_REGISTRATION', 'PERMISSION_ADD_ROLES', 'PERMISSION_EDIT_ROLES', 'PERMISSION_REMOVE_ROLES', 'PERMISSION_ADD_CATEGORIES', 'PERMISSION_EDIT_CATEGORIES', 'PERMISSION_REMOVE_CATEGORIES', 'PERMISSION_SORT_CATEGORIES', 'PERMISSION_CHANGE_APPLICATION_SETTINGS', 'PERMISSION_MANAGE_EXTENSIONS', 'PERMISSION_MANAGE_LANGUAGE', 'PERMISSION_MANAGE_STYLES', 'PERMISSION_MANAGE_THEMES'); $RequiredPermissionsCount = count($RequiredPermissions); $i = 0; for ($i = 0; $i < $RequiredPermissionsCount; $i++) { if ($Context->Session->User->Permission($RequiredPermissions[$i])) { $DisplayPanel = true; break; } } } } if ( ! $Context->SelfUrl == "comments.php" OR $DisplayPanel ) { // old code in panel.php }
This should always display the panel on other pages than somments.php, and if we're in comments.php, display the panel only if we are authenticated and have a permission among those listed.

woh, thanks so far, looks quite good but doesn't work ._.
i get a php error because of the following lines

if ( $Context->SelfUrl == "comments.php" )

if ( ! $Context->SelfUrl == "comments.php" OR $DisplayPanel )

i tried

if (in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array("comments.php"))

but it didn't work. any idea?

Paste us the whole thing.

sorry (i wasn't even right, shame on me) here it is:

Notice: Undefined variable: Context in /kunden/121606_86830/monstrs/forum/themes/monstrs/panel.php on line 4 Notice: Undefined variable: Context in /kunden/121606_86830/monstrs/forum/themes/monstrs/panel.php on line 33

I think "$Context" needs to be changed to "$this->Context" (the theme patch is being called from within the Panel object).

Also, wouldn't this be easier?

// this code is not tested if ( ! $this->Context->SelfUrl == "comments.php" OR $this->Context->Session->User->RoleID > {whatever} ) { // old code in panel.php }

Sounds like timfire is on the money with the $this-> thing. I'm too tired to think about the other bit.

Must work now, Tim is right. Now for the precise condition, I first started to think like the last bit of code, but I'm not good at permissions and role ids and so on. I just copy-pasted the code in appg/init_vanilla.php to be sure to have something like an 'admin condition'. It depends on what Monstr wants.
