rvm_privileged v0.4

Several tags that enable you to make use of the fact that a visitor is logged in on the admin side of Textpattern.

NOTE: Requires TXP 4.0.6 or higher.

Download

Features:

  • tag: <txp:rvm_privileged /> returns HTTP 403 error to visitors that are not logged in on the admin side. Users logged in on the TXP admin side with customizable error template.
  • tag: <txp:rvm_if_privileged /> lets you show parts of a page only to visitors that are logged in on the TXP admin side.
  • Both tags can be set to only allow specific users or privilege levels.
  • tag: <txp:rvm_privileged_user /> shows information about the logged TXP user that is visiting the website.
  • Very small (less than 1300 bytes of PHP code)
  • Detailed documentation in the plugin help.

Changelog:

  • version 0.1 (2007-12-18)
  • version 0.2 (2008-02-06)
    • parse contents of rvm_if_privileged container (thanks typeshige)
  • version 0.3 (2008-03-23)
    • use OR logic (as stated in documentation) when both level and name attributes are set (thanks Bloke/Stef)
  • version 0.4 (2009-07-27)
    • replaced escape_output with htmlspecialchars (required for TXP versions after 4.0.8)

Re: rvm_privileged v0.4

i generally don’t like running svns..i’m sure this won’t be answered readily but any estimate on when 4.0.6 would be available? i see some admin themes and such saying they need 4.0.6 which is kind of odd.

Re: rvm_privileged v0.4

I put the plugin online, because I’m hoping we can do a release before new year. For further discussion about the 4.0.6 release date, please open a new topic so we keep this one for discussing the plugin ;)

Re: rvm_privileged v0.4

Re: rvm_privileged v0.4

What i’m really suffer without – it’s online plugin help. Every time i want to get closer – i need to install. It’s not very difficultm but it’s easier to look for separate online help.

Re: rvm_privileged v0.4

May I suggest to have a gTxt()ed version of this part in rvm_privileged_user, too?

    case 'privilege': $out = $levels[$ili['privs']]; break;

Re: rvm_privileged v0.4

Hey, this plugin is cool, kind of missed this functionality when I moved to TxP from Nucleus.

Now we can show an edit button next to a story, if we are so privileged, for easy access to the write tab:

/textpattern/index.php?event=article&step=edit&ID=37

rss_article_edit has provided similar functionality for a while.

True, but ruud’s plugin doesn’t require another cookie to be set.

Now, I could use Rob’s plugin to get ideas of how to implement what I desire in an edit button.

Thanks for the heads up, so many plugins you lose track of them.
