I wanted to allow creating of a site base on the user being in a group ( That is not admin ) So I modified Header.get.js
…
// extend to get all the groups a person is assocated to
if (!user.isGuest)
{
var result = remote.call("/api/people/" + stringUtils.urlEncode(user.name) + "?groups=true");
if (result.status == 200)
{
var i;
// Create javascript objects from the server response
// This is the User and it also contains all groups.
var userValue = eval('(' + result + ')');
if (userValue.groups.length != 0)
{
for (i = 0; i < userValue.groups.length; i++)
{
if (userValue.groups[i].itemName == "GROUP_CreateSiteAdministrator") createSite = true;
}
}
}
}
…
model.createSite = createSite;
…
Then modified header.get.ftl
<#if createSite>
<ul class="create-site-menuitem">
<li>
<a href="#" onclick="thisHeader.showCreateSite(); return false;">${msg("header.sites.createSite")}</a>
</li>
</ul>
</#if>
this worked for the header, but how can I pass this to the dashlet ? I got it working by doing the same in the dashlet, but it seems as there should be another way. my.sites.get.js
…
// extend to get all the groups a person is assocated to
if (!user.isGuest)
{
var result = remote.call("/api/people/" + stringUtils.urlEncode(user.name) + "?groups=true");
if (result.status == 200)
{
var i;
// Create javascript objects from the server response
// This is the User and it also contains all groups.
var userValue = eval('(' + result + ')');
if (userValue.groups.length != 0)
{
for (i = 0; i < userValue.groups.length; i++)
{
if (userValue.groups[i].itemName == "GROUP_CreateSiteAdministrator") createSite = true;
}
}
}
}
