display information only to admin user

[alpha]

hi guys,

i am trying to customize browse.jsp to display specific information only to admin user. I want hide content-panel to user other than admin, and in the space panel i would like to hide columns modified and actions to all users other than admin.

For the first point, i've managed to do such when using tag <a:booleanEvaluator> as follows

<a:booleanEvaluator value="#{NavigationBean.currentUser.admin == true}" id="evalAcontent">
        <%– Details - Content –%>
         ……
</a:booleanEvaluator>‍‍‍‍

and it works fine

But for the second, it doesn't work well with <a:booleanEvaluator>, here is the code :

<%– Modified Date column for details/icons view modes –%>
<a:booleanEvaluator value="#{NavigationBean.currentUser.admin == true}" id="evalMod">
<a:column id="col7" style="text-align:left">
<f:facet name="header">
<a:sortLink id="col7-sort" label="#{msg.modified}" value="modified" styleClass="header"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText id="col7-txt" value="#{r.modified}">
<a:convertXMLDate type="both" pattern="#{msg.date_time_pattern}" />
</h:outputText>
</a:column>

<%– Space Actions column –%>
<a:column id="col9" actions="true" style="text-align:left">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText id="col9-txt" value="#{msg.actions}"/>
</f:facet>

<r:actions id="col9-acts1" value="space_browse" context="#{r}" showLink="false" styleClass="inlineAction" />
<a:menu id="spaces-more-menu" itemSpacing="4" image="/images/icons/more.gif" tooltip="#{msg.more_actions}" menuStyleClass="moreActionsMenu">
<r:actions id="col9-acts2" value="space_browse_menu" context="#{r}" />
</a:menu>
</a:column>
</a:booleanEvaluator>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

if i connect with a non-admin user it works (information are not displayed) but when i connect as admin no information is displayed !!!

how can i do to make this work correctly?
I have also tried to used rendered attribute for tag <a:column>, as follows:

<a:column id="col7" style="text-align:left" rendered="#{NavigationBean.currentUser.admin == true}">‍

do you recommend this?
Any help is appreciated.

Instead of wrapping the booleanevaluator around several columns, remove it and try add this attribute to each column you want to hide for non-admin users:

rendered="#{NavigationBean.currentUser.admin == true}"

Thanks,

thanks for ur reply

actually i have tried this, and it's not working, it doesn't make any diffrence whether i put this code or not. The column is displayed to all users.

<a:column id="col7" style="text-align:left" rendered="#{NavigationBean.currentUser.admin == true}">
<f:facet name="header">
<a:sortLink id="col7-sort" label="#{msg.modified}" value="modified" styleClass="header"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText id="col7-txt" value="#{r.modified}">
<a:convertXMLDate type="both" pattern="#{msg.date_time_pattern}" />
</h:outputText>
</a:column>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Have u managed to make it work?
thanks for helping
