Hello,

In the Category Item layout, there is the ‘cog icon’ at top right corner of each Article, and once clicked it shows a drop menu with: print, email, and edit )shows edit if user have permissions to edit).

What I want to do is only show the Cog Icon to Super Administrators for example.

So to do this, I need to know what php code to use in the template/html/com_content/category/xxx_item.php file.

I need to wrap the blow code in some php code that says (only show the below code if user in in the Supper Administrator Joomla User group (group id=8).

<!-- Aside -->
<?php if ($topInfo || $icons) : ?>
<aside class="article-aside clearfix">

<dl class="article-info">
<dt class="article-info-term">
<?php echo JText::_('COM_CONTENT_ARTICLE_INFO'); ?>
</dt>
<?php if ($params->get('show_author') && !empty($this->item->author)) : ?>
<?php echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.content.info_block.author', array('item' => $this->item, 'params' => $params)); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Thanks,

EDIT:

Oh..I need to add one more rule. I need to be able to hide the Cog Icon by defining multiple Joomla User Groups (IE: Super Admin, Administrator, Manager) OR to show the Cog Icon to all Joomla User Groups above ‘Manager’ for example.

Ok, I found this code:

<?php
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$uid = $user->id;

jimport( 'joomla.access.access' );
$groups = JAccess::getGroupsByUser($uid, false);
if(in_array(8, $groups)){
echo 'only visible for super-admin test';
}

?>

If i add this to my template/html/com_content/category/xxx_item.php file, I will only see this text: “only visible for super-admin test” when i am logged in as a super administrator.

The issue I have (as I dont know how to write php), is how to use the code just above and add the code from my original post to it.

Can someone please help?

Hi,

In this case, you can try to do with my solution below

Open templates/ja_medicare/html/layouts/joomla/content/icons.php file and add code above as my screenshot

* @subpackage Layout

* @license GNU General Public License version 2 or later; see LICENSE.txt
*/

defined('JPATH_BASE') or die;

$canEdit = $displayData['params']->get('access-edit');

$user = JFactory::getUser();
$uid = $user->id;

jimport( 'joomla.access.access' );
$groups = JAccess::getGroupsByUser($uid, false);

?>

<div class="icons">
<?php if(in_array(8, $groups)): ?>
<?php if (empty($displayData['print'])) : ?>

<?php if ($canEdit || $displayData['params']->get('show_print_icon') || $displayData['params']->get('show_email_icon')) : ?>
<div class="btn-group pull-right">
<a class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#"> <span class="icon-cog"></span> <span class="caret"></span> </a>
<?php // Note the actions class is deprecated. Use dropdown-menu instead. ?>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<?php if ($displayData['params']->get('show_print_icon')) : ?>
<li class="print-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.print_popup', $displayData['item'], $displayData['params']); ?> </li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ($displayData['params']->get('show_email_icon')) : ?>
<li class="email-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.email', $displayData['item'], $displayData['params']); ?> </li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ($canEdit) : ?>
<li class="edit-icon"> <?php echo JHtml::_('icon.edit', $displayData['item'], $displayData['params']); ?> </li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php else : ?>

<div class="pull-right">
<?php echo JHtml::_('icon.print_screen', $displayData['item'], $displayData['params']); ?>
</div>

<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>


Hope it helps

Hello Ninja Lead,

Thanks for your reply…it does work, but I think you have completly missed the purpose of what I was asking and a few other things.

Your option is incredibly limiting, as it hides the COG ICON for ALL pages, category’s etc. Which is NOT what I want.

As per my request above, I want to hide the COG ICON in the category_item.php file, and ONLY this view. Honestly its a bit ridiculous to be showing the COG ICON with Print and Email on a category item listing page when we show snippets of maybe 9 or more joomla articles….why do we need to show 9 COG ICONS with 9 email and print options, its crazy and it looks ugly as hell. The only time this is a good option, is when someone with editing rights is logged on…as this makes frontend editing easier. But for the normal website visitor, its really silly to be showing the COG ICON on a category item page for each joomla article snippet.

Can you assist with what I am trying to do?

Hi,

I tried to find on template/html/com_content/category/ folder but I could not see category_item.php as you mentioned above, if you want to apply with only Category list you have to change from blog_item.php file

+ Copy plugins/system/t3/base-bs3/html/com_content/category/blog_item.php file

+ Paste template/html/com_content/category/ folder

+ Open blog_item.php file

find and change

<?php if ($icons): ?>
<?php echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.content.icons', array('item' => $this->item, 'params' => $params)); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

to

<?php if ($icons): ?>
<?php
$user = JFactory::getUser();
$uid = $user->id;

jimport( 'joomla.access.access' );
$groups = JAccess::getGroupsByUser($uid, false);
if(in_array(8, $groups)){
echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.content.icons', array('item' => $this->item, 'params' => $params));
}
?>
<?php endif; ?>

Hope it helps

Hello,

Thanks works…thankyou… category_item.php was in another JoomArt template I was working on (i want this feature for all the sites I develop).

So the second thing I was after is how to reference more than 1 user group as per above, not just user group with id of 8. So how do I add more than 1 user group id, what code do i use?

Thanks again,

Hi,

I can’t replicate the second question, it’s general question for Joomla so pls try to raise the same question into Joomla forum for help.

Hello,

The code given above no longer works. When I click to EDIT from the COG drop menu, it takes me to a 403 error page saying: You are not permitted to use that link to directly access that page (#228).

Can anyone help to fix this issue and also if anyone can help with my 2nd question from above?

Thanks,
