Topic: Block in Block permissions troubles

[FireDitto]

Okay;

I have two blocks, feeding into the display block.

-> Everyone Block
-> Admin quick link block

feed into 'Visible Block'

However;

I have the Everyone block set to view to everyone, because I want everyone to be able to see what is in the block.
I have the Admin quick link block set to Admin only, because it holds a quick link to hte Admin pannel to edit the block when updates are needed.

However (again);

Because the 'Visible Block' is also set to 'Everyone', it is over riding the restrictions put into the 'Quick link' block.

How do I rectify this?



EDIT:
This is the PHP code I'm using to pull the blocks;
The first block (block 103) is the one I want to be visible to everyone.
The second block (104) is the one that should have restricted visibility.

Code: [Select]

$columns = 1;
$block_ids = array(103);

$block_data = array();
foreach ($block_ids as $block)
{
   $block_data[$block] = current(getBlockInfo(false, $block, false, false));
   $block_data[$block]['style'] = sportal_parse_style('explode', $block_data[$block]['style'], true);
}

echo '
<table style="width: 100%;">
   <tr>';

$counter = 0;
foreach ($block_data as $data)
{
   if ($counter != 0 && $counter % $columns == 0)
   {
      echo '
   </tr>
   <tr>';
   }

   echo '
      <td style="width: ', ceil((100 / $columns)), '%; vertical-align: top;">
         ', template_block($data), '
      </td>';

   $counter++;
}

echo '
   </tr>
</table>';

$columns = 1;
$block_ids = array(104);

$block_data = array();
foreach ($block_ids as $block)
{
   $block_data[$block] = current(getBlockInfo(false, $block, false, false));
   $block_data[$block]['style'] = sportal_parse_style('explode', $block_data[$block]['style'], true);
}

echo '
<table style="width: 100%;">
   <tr>';

$counter = 0;
foreach ($block_data as $data)
{
   if ($counter != 0 && $counter % $columns == 0)
   {
      echo '
   </tr>
   <tr>';
   }

   echo '
      <td style="width: ', ceil((100 / $columns)), '%; vertical-align: top;">
         ', template_block($data), '
      </td>';

   $counter++;
}

echo '
   </tr>
</table>';

Code: (Find) [Select]

foreach ($block_ids as $block)
{
   $block_data[$block] = current(getBlockInfo(false, $block, false, false));
   $block_data[$block]['style'] = sportal_parse_style('explode', $block_data[$block]['style'], true);
}

Code: (Replace) [Select]

foreach ($block_ids as $block)
{
   $data = current(getBlockInfo(false, $block, false, false, true));
   if (empty($data))
      continue;
   $block_data[$block] = $data;
   $block_data[$block]['style'] = sportal_parse_style('explode', $block_data[$block]['style'], true);
}

if ($block_data)
   return;

Thanks, but it doesn't work; it makes the block in question vanish.

I apologize for the very late response. The following code should respect the block permissions and do exactly the same thing:

Code: [Select]

$block_ids = array(103, 104);

$block_data = array();
foreach ($block_ids as $block)
{
   $data = current(getBlockInfo(false, $block, false, false, true));
   if (empty($data))
      continue;
   $block_data[$block] = $data;
   $block_data[$block]['style'] = sportal_parse_style('explode', $block_data[$block]['style'], true);
}

foreach ($block_data as $data)
echo '<div>', template_block($data), '</div>';

Not a problem! Thanks for your time, that worked beautifully!

Thank you for your understanding and glad to hear that it worked.
