Hi,

I would like to obtain a specific value for : View Website >>

For example :

I have an editor (1) who has access to the folder News and another editor (2) which has access to folder FAQ.

It would be possible to give a different value for each editor?

Editor (1) : View Website >> == News
Editor (2) : View Website >> == FAQ

Thank you for your answer.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your answer.

And with a condition ?

For example :

<?php if editor == 'name2' ?>
url 1
<?php elseif editor == 'name2' ?>
url 2
<?php endif ?>

Thank,

Djulia

If you are comfortable modifying the code, here's how:

- open /lib/menus/header.php
- search for $SETTINGS['websiteUrl'] and replace with $viewUrl
- add this code somewhere above it:

<?php
$viewUrl = $SETTINGS['websiteUrl'];
$username = $CURRENT_USER['username'];
if ($username == 'admin') { $viewUrl = "http://www.google.com/"; }
if ($username == 'dave') { $viewUrl = "http://www.yahoo.com/"; }
?>


Let me know if that works for you. :)

Edit: Fixed code (added $ in front of username)

Hi Dave,

I tested :

<?php if ($CURRENT_USER['isMyname']): ?>
My url
<?php endif ?>

...but, that does not function. :(

Hi Dave

I have just tested your proposal, but I have the error :
Notice: Use of undefined constant username - assumed 'username' in ...

An idea ?

Thank you,

Ahh, I forgot the $ in front of 'username'. Sorry about that. Try this:

<?php
$viewUrl = $SETTINGS['websiteUrl'];
$username = $CURRENT_USER['username'];
if ($username == 'admin') { $viewUrl = "http://www.google.com/"; }
if ($username == 'dave') { $viewUrl = "http://www.yahoo.com/"; }
?>

Hi Dave,

I have a suggestion.

It would be possible to add a field "View Site" (websiteUrl) in the section User Accounts ?

It would be then possible to use a condition in header.php :

<?php if ($CURRENT_USER['websiteUrl']): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $CURRENT_USER['websiteUrl'] ?>"><?php _e('View Website &gt;&gt;') ?></a>
<?php elseif ($SETTINGS['websiteUrl']): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $SETTINGS['websiteUrl'] ?>"><?php _e('View Website &gt;&gt;') ?></a>
<?php endif ?>


Thank you for your answer.

What I would like to be able to do is to have the 'View Site' be linked to the current page you are editing. That way when you click on it you can verify the changes/updates you just made to that section. Is that possible?

Thanks,

Kevin
