Megafilter & user groups

bonsai

What we need is a way to pass the user group in the items display view (MegaFilter results) and check this against the article access level.
When the usergroup is matching the article access level we do nothing, when not we need to display an overlay over the item with a custom link.

Hi bonsai

For example, an article is set to Registered User group - not public, it will not be seen in public, right?

If I'm wrong, could you share the credentials of your site and tell me a sample item and how you want to achieve so I can check?

bonsai

Thanks for your reply!

So there are two options:

Registered user group. We see the results of the filter and can simply open the article, just like now in the megafilter.
Unregistered user group. They see the results, but in stead of clicking to the article, a button is shown that says 'register' for example. So 'Register' only shows to Unregistered user group.

Hi bonsai

I think the first option can be used for now as you can set the access level for that menu item so that only registered users can view.

The second option is not available now unfortunately.

So the thing is - I need the results of the filter (not the entire page) to depend on user access.

I know it is not possible now as a setting, but can you help my developer with some tips on how this can be custom made?

The filter will work this way: when you click to open an article in the filter result page, it will redirect to article detailed page. So, basically, if you set an article to 'Registered' Access Level, you still can see this article in the filter result page but when you click to open, it will notice you're not authorized to view content.

What I want to have is that the filter results show a distinction:
1. Registered user group. We see the results of the filter and can simply open the article, just like now in the megafilter.
2. Unregistered user group. They see the results, but in stead of clicking to the article, a button is shown that says 'register' for example. So 'Register' only shows to Unregistered user group.

I know this is not in the extension now so my developer wants to make it. Can you help us on the way, how can we best do this?

Hi bonsai

Yes, I understand your point, however, you will have to customize this extension to achieve that. This would take time and out of our support scope. Sorry for not be of much help on this.

bonsai

We can do the customization - I only ask you for some general input, a few pointers would be great.

When I purchased the extension I do expect some help with this.

Hi,
There is two files you need to pay attention
1. plugins\jamegafilter\content\tmpl\default.php , find js function afterGetData(item) . You can modify value of each item before it render
2. plugins\jamegafilter\content\layouts\default\product-item.php , you can display value of item properties here. This file uses dustjs syntax, check dustjs document to see how use template logic https://www.dustjs.com/
