Hide protected posts and categories from lists and menus

    Hi,

    I’m creating a kind of Support Site for Customers and Workers.

    So I created a private area for Workers, this way, only when a Worker is logged in, can view the posts and categories that they need.

    I’m trying to hide the Worker’s posts and categories from all the listings and menus, so the Customers don’t see them, but I’m finding this impossible. Is there any way that I can do that, even through PHP?

    This could be a nice addon to the plugin. When protecting a category, having an option to remove categories and posts from listings would be great. I think it’s relatively easy with a couple of hooks.

    Thanks.

  • if you are a programmer and want to write an addon, please take a look at classes/class.bAccessControl.php. it will give you an idea of how to check if a post/page is protected.

    Hi amijanina,

    I know a little of PHP. I already took a look at that file and one method that I found interesting was

    can_i_read_post($id)

    However I really don’t know where to start. If I could have some kind of way to check if a post or category is protected through its id, it would be of great help. Something like…

    if(!can_i_read_post($post->ID)) { DO STUFF }

    But obviously this doesn’t work. Is there any way to do something like that for posts and categories?

    Thanks.

    can_i_read_post is a member method. you cannot call it directly. you need to call it through its class object. you can do something like this:

    $acl = BAccessControl::get_instance();
if(!$acl->can_i_read_post($post->ID)) { DO STUFF }

    Thanks amijanina, this was a great help. I’m now able to show only the authorized posts.

    However, is there any way to quickly check if a user has access to a certain category? I was trying to do the same in the menu area, but I don’t think it will be that easy. ??

    you probably want to take a look at classes/class.bPermission.php

    thanks
