show/hide Fields depending on role in a jsp

[kwantm]

hi,

Iam looking for a way to show/hide fields depending on the role your have while you are logged in.

For example. I would like to make the field "encoding" readonly in the jsp /jsp/content/add-content-dialog.jsp hen you are NOT an administrator.

i have tried the tag  <rermissionEvaluator value="ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR" allow="ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR">, but that does not seem to be working.

is there anyone that could point me in the right direction?

@Extra info:
———————–
My problem is two fold. first i need to know which files I should edit in order to alter the edit content option in de web-client. I think I have found all files that do this.

The second part is to prevent NON administrator of having access to the encoding property. Only administrators may edit this. I have tried the following (using a booleanEvaluator):

<a:booleanEvaluator value="#{NavigationBean.currentUser.isAdmin}">
                                 <tr>
                                    <td></td>
                                    <td>
                                       <h:outputText id="text12" value="#{msg.encoding}:" />
                                    </td>
                                    <td>
                                       <h:selectOneMenu id="encoding" value="#{AddContentDialog.encoding}">
                                          <f:selectItems value="#{AddContentDialog.encodings}" />
                                       </h:selectOneMenu>
                                    </td>
                                 </tr>
                                 </a:booleanEvaluator>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But it seems to have no effect..

Anybody any idears if Iam looking in the right direction in solving my problem????



kind regards,

Marc

The code is slightly wrong, you want:

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

Hi,

Thnx for your information. I myself have added a extra metod (getAdministrator()) to achieve the required result, but this one is more elegant.

i will alter my code in this fahsion.
