Smarty

Hi!

I have an element in my template, which should be displayed after a special user-right is checked. Only some users may see this element. In PHP I could check this right like that:

maybe you can weaken the depencies a bit:

use a hash-array with all right-names as keys an values as true.

$smarty->assign('display_element', $user->rights_map());
with rights_map returning an "array('ab'=>true, 'xy'=>true)"

and in smarty you do:
{if $display_element.xy} you can xy(/if}
{if !$display_element.ab} you cannot ab (/if}
and even
{if $display_element.$foo} you can {$foo} (/if}
with $foo being a right assinged sometimes before.

i don't know if that fits for you.



(implied in the example above, but:)
to the second question:
{if $display_element_xy == 'TRUE'} is redundant
do simply {if $display_element_xy}

Hm it's a nice idea, but I think I will have too many rights, I only want to check one right from database.

I would like to use something like:

{if checkRight("display_xy") }
display XY...
{/if}

checkRight would be a registered function, but I think I have to fetch the return-Value, assign as outpu and than check this.

But isn't it possible to get the right checked as above? Perhaps per own plugin? I do not want to assign the return-value in my plugin. Or is this the only possibility if I don't want to assign it from php?

hmmm. Looks like your last example is the same as using

{if $user->checkRight("display_xy") }

{/if}

is that not what you want?
