Permissions Mask?

[sigma.]

Im looking to restrict what a registered user can see. I have a User Group and I only want that user group to see a certain field within the details.html template.

I've had success with {if user_loggedout}{endif user_loggedout}{if user_loggedin}{endif user_loggedin}
but is there an {if} for permissions / user groups?

Hi sigma ...
... i think there is not a code / tag in standard 4images for this "if" ... 
... in "normal" if-tags works one variable ... e.g. ... {if user_loggedout} -> "user_id" ...
... and in this new if-tag must work two variables ... "user_id" and "group_id" ...
... and for permissions we have check_permission("auth_viewcat", $cat_id)  , check_permission("auth_viewimage", $cat_id) a.s.o. ...
... but you want a global "auth_view" ... right ... ?

Hi mawenzi, thanks for responding.

I think a global auth_view is the only way. Heres what Im trying to do..
I want to restrict what each usergroup can do with certain images.

if user is group_id 1 - they can download a llimited number of images
if user is group_id 2 - they can download the same images as group_id 1 plus many more

of course this is not possible with the current permission setup unless i move the images into their own category. which is not what I want to do.

do you think this is possible?

what about here:

Code: [Select]

$site_template->register_vars(array(
  "is_in_group_photographer" => (isset($usergroups[USERGROUP_ID])) ? 1 : 0
));
from http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=6566.msg29808#msg29808

add more conditions, like this:

Code: [Select]

$site_template->register_vars(array(
  "is_in_group_photographer" => (isset($usergroups[USERGROUP_ID]) && (your restrinction)) ? 1 : 0
));
I'm beginner but is an idea, I don't know what conditions you need... but you can use sql secuences and add to an array and create your restrinctions.  and you have in page_header $user_info['<<atribute_name>>']

Thank you, this is usefull but after testing it and thinking about it more i think I really need a option for each image (ACP) the ability to assign what USERGROUP can Download that image. Or maybe what USER can download it.

If there was a dropdown menu for each image that allows you to add permissions ( Usergroups Allowed to Download ) that way would be allot better.

Any ideas? is it possible?

In my gallery i restrict some fields depended from cat_id in details.html, i think that you could do the same with img_id. But It would be too work  if you have a lot of images. I'm not php programmer, but I think that you want is possible in admin like categories permissions. But sorry i don't know and i don't have time
