This wish is open |
Description
What if we had a new module similar to the [[iftags]] module?
It should be easy to implement:
[[ifuser ma]]
You are the master administrator
[[/ifuser]][[ifuser admin]]
You are an administrator
[[/ifuser]][[ifuser mod]]
You are a moderator
[[/ifuser]][[ifuser member]]
You are a member
[[/ifuser]]
Like the [[iftags]], you would be able to combine them and use simple logic:
[[ifuser mod admin]]
You are either a moderator or an administrator
[[/ifuser]][[ifuser -member]]
You are not a member
[[/ifuser]]
This would be a very useful function as you would be able to display things only to specific members (such as links to the admin:manage page, which looks a bit unprofessional to normal members if they can't use it). Or you could make elements/pages of the wiki private. You could combine it with the [[iftags]] module:
[[iftags private]]
[[ifuser admin]]
%%content%%
[[/ifuser]][[ifuser -admin]]
You do not have sufficient privileges to view this page.
[[/ifuser]]
[[/iftags]][[iftags -private]]
%%content%%
[[/iftags]]

This wish comes verbatim from James Kanjo's post at Pro ;)

Perhaps also an "[[ifuser anon]]" for "anonymous".

the more I think about it, the more I like it.
It'd be nice if you could name a user, users specifically as well.
I also think you need to have it, say that I want it to be a group of people, say this group of people solved a puzzle, so I add their name to the list, and it would show them too. Sort of like:
[[ifuser user="David Marseilles, James Kanjo, Graphmastur, Timothy Foster]]
Congratulations, you posted on this wish which should be implemented.
[[/ifuser]]
I absolutely support this!
This would solve several issues for me. Please, please, please!
Would be super useful
Yes, this would be a good tool. I know of a few examples where Wikidot detects a user's status & reflects it in page content.
