Show/Hide Region in Template

Hi guys,

Seems you can't show or hide a region based on whether or not the user is logged in on the template?

I have a navigation menu in the template that shows on all pages of course. But I need these to be hidden if not logged in and I need one of the menus hidden based on acces level.

How can this be done with using templates?

Thanks,
Brad

Brad,
I have done this with templates a number of time. You need to make sure that your template is a php file (ie template.dwt.php)

you can then wrap the area you want hidden in a 'show region' under security assist


It will place code at the top of the page though,that may not be propogated to your pages that already have php above the head.

<?php require_once( "../WA_SecurityAssist/Helper_PHP.php" ); ?>

not a problem tho, as you can manually add it.

Thanks Tom, worked great!

Except now I get an error on the log out page?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wa_auth_rulepasses() in E:\koparadmin_main_website_asp\dashboard\staff_LogOut.php on line 208

Line 208: <?php if(WA_Auth_RulePasses("Logged in to staff")){ // Begin Show Region ?>

Feel free to zip up that page and attach it.
do you have the
<?php require_once( "/WA_SecurityAssist/Helper_PHP.php" ); ?>
at the top of that page?

Unfortunately its a government site and I can't send files ... but I'll try adding that line.

Thanks .. you have put me in the right direction anyways.

Brad

no problem, I understand.

The problem as I mentioned with applying that to a template that you have already generated pages for, is on pages that already have php above the opening html tag, it will not add the required php require_once
<?php require_once( "../WA_SecurityAssist/Helper_PHP.php" ); ?>

The path may be different, but you get the point.

Hope business is good. I see you around the adobe forums, and used to see you years ago around the old interakt forums if I recall correctly :-)

Yep, those would be my old (InterAKT) and my new (Adobe) stomping grounds. ;-)

After playing around a bit your suggestion worked like a charm!

Thanks Tom ... all is well now. Well at least for now. ;-)
