Hi Team,

Could i Hide a block to Admin.

[SiNaN] · « **Reply #1 on:** December 02, 2008, 07:30:26 AM »

Hmmm, not really. Because they have all the permissions for all blocks.

It is like the board permissions in SMF; you cannot hide a board from admin.

H · « **Reply #2 on:** December 02, 2008, 01:08:00 PM »

Why would you want to do this?

Burke Knight · « **Reply #3 on:** December 02, 2008, 01:11:55 PM »

Some admins like to show some blocks to guests and members that they don't always want to see themself. Like me, I set up the news board block, which cannot be collapsed, yet I really as admin, do not need to always see it, since I wrote all the posts there.

H · « **Reply #4 on:** December 02, 2008, 01:13:21 PM »

Perhaps then it would be an idea for admins to be able to collapse any block, regardless of what it is set to?

Burke Knight · « **Reply #5 on:** December 02, 2008, 01:24:06 PM »

That would be good idea.

Maybe move this to Feature Requests?

Sudhakar · « **Reply #6 on:** December 02, 2008, 08:43:00 PM »

Yes BurkeKnight,

You are really right. I need to hide news and other block to Admin.

Burkeknight and K give me a sample code to workout .

Burke Knight · « **Reply #7 on:** December 02, 2008, 09:20:29 PM »

I'm only a beta tester, not a coder... Well, ok, I'm a coder, but not for SP yet.... Well, not for long time, as I still have TONS to learn.

I'll leave that coding to the more experienced team members.

Sudhakar · « **Reply #8 on:** December 02, 2008, 11:26:02 PM »

Ok, and hope some team member will help me soon.

Sudhakar · « **Reply #9 on:** December 08, 2008, 07:46:55 PM »

Any Updates for this post.

Once this feature is added, Simple portal will be more reliable to admin.

where they could hide advertisement tabs.

Sudhakar · « **Reply #10 on:** December 11, 2008, 02:51:18 PM »

Any update on the Feature Request Team.

Sudhakar · « **Reply #11 on:** December 19, 2008, 08:41:22 AM »

Suppose, if i have a advertisement block.

I could block that particular block to an admin.

ianus · « **Reply #12 on:** December 21, 2008, 01:48:59 AM »

Greetings!

Yes, an advertisment block is something an admin must not see always.

Try

Code: [Select]

if ($context['user']['is_logged']){
"your code here"
}
if($context['user']['is_admin']){
"leave blank"
}

This should show the content to all logged users, but not to admins.
I have some problems with $context. It seems that SP don't use some SMF code automatic.
So it is possible that you have to add something like
global $context, $scripturl, $settings, $member, $memberContext, $member_id
at the very beginning of you blockcode. I haven't figure out yet how SP handeles this.

Sudhakar · « **Reply #13 on:** December 21, 2008, 04:45:40 AM »

Great "ianus".

I do even have a member group where i have removed the ads using the block permissions at simple portal configuration.

Where is this info to go ? inside of the block ? and did you getting it working ?

This is definately a needed feature for 2.2

[SiNaN] · « **Reply #16 on:** March 06, 2009, 02:27:18 PM »

Not really. 2.2 is feature frozen ATM, you'll have to wait next version.

About some frequently used variables not being as default globals for PHP block; that is how it should be. You should global what you need yourself.

You would want to create a "PHP Block" adding the above code and then adding your needed code where it says "your code here".

Hi Team,

Could i Hide a block to Admin.

Still i could not hide the block for admin.

Any idea would be appreciated.

willerby · « **Reply #20 on:** February 14, 2011, 01:28:38 PM »

I had a second admin who objected to seeing every block (sometimes duplicated for different member groups with different content).

I set him up as Admin2 then manually altered his permissions. Be careful if you do this to your own profile and make sure you still retain the permissions to give yourself full admin privileges or leave these on a second login account.

Sudhakar · « **Reply #21 on:** February 14, 2011, 03:08:10 PM »

Thanks for your reply willerby.

But i need to hide the blocks for my id - main admin id.

How it is possible.

AngelinaBelle · « **Reply #22 on:** February 15, 2011, 08:39:24 AM »

This is a feature planned for version 2.4.

Nice that you have answered me.

Could you tell me some estimated time for v 2.4 to get released.

AngelinaBelle · « **Reply #24 on:** February 15, 2011, 06:44:03 PM »

V 2.4 will be released when our developers have time to work on it.
Unfortunately, they are very busy students, and will not work on this code until they have time to devote to doing it properly.

In the meantime, please have a look at this topic, which gives you a customization you can apply:

admin will not get the blocks at all? Or just if ti is not selected in the block permisions?

AngelinaBelle · « **Reply #29 on:** February 20, 2011, 10:02:53 AM »

Just if admin is chosen not to see the block in permissions.
You can try the change, and if you don't like it, go back to the previous version of the file.

Code: [Select]

   if (allowedTo('sp_moderate'))
      return true;

AngelinaBelle · « **Reply #31 on:** February 21, 2011, 08:50:50 AM »

Search for

Code: [Select]

if (allowedTo('sp_admin'))

rocknroller · « **Reply #32 on:** February 21, 2011, 01:14:38 PM »

thank you AngelinaBelle, when modification is acticevd I can not see blocks in the admin panel.

is this it what this do?

AngelinaBelle · « **Reply #33 on:** February 21, 2011, 01:59:13 PM »

I'm sorry. My advice was wrong.
Now, I don't know the answer.

rocknroller · « **Reply #34 on:** February 21, 2011, 03:58:05 PM »

I am sorry I was not well expressed, you helped me a lot.

When I uploaded the modification, blocks related to guests are missing, but I made membergroup Admin SP and made it invisible. Then I have all the blocks related to guest set permissions and include new membergroup Admin SP. Now when i want edit those blocks in my profile settings add additional group Admin SP. and that is it.
When i dont want look in block for guests, then remove additional group Admin SP.

sorry for my bad english, AngelinaBelle

It is like the board permissions in SMF too.
