Move Template switch to php file

Post by HiFiKabin »

In my Header Links ext I now have permission switches in the template as below.

Code: Select all

{% if (headerlink_urls.HEADERLINK_PERMISSION eq '1' and not S_USER_LOGGED_IN) or (headerlink_urls.HEADERLINK_PERMISSION eq '2' and S_USER_LOGGED_IN) or (headerlink_urls.HEADERLINK_PERMISSION eq '4' and U_ACP) or (headerlink_urls.HEADERLINK_PERMISSION eq '5' and U_MCP) or headerlink_urls.HEADERLINK_PERMISSION eq '3'%}
(allowing each link to have view permissions based on the group the user is in)

How can I move this from the html file to the php one? I have looked around and can not find what I am looking for so any pointers and/or existing extension doing a similar thing will be most welcome.

Use the value you assign to the template for HEADERLINK_PERMISSION in an if condition, for example:

Code: Select all

if (($url_permission == 1 && $user->data['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS)
	|| ($url_permission == 2 && $user->data['user_id'] != ANONYMOUS)
	|| $url_permission == 3
	|| ($url_permission == 4 && $this->auth->acl_get('a_'))
	|| ($url_permission == 5 && ($this->auth->acl_get('m_') || $this->auth->acl_getf_global('m_')))
)
{
	// call assign_block_vars in here
}
