Is there a way to hide your own tab based on groups?

in plugin.xml, we have our own bnx tab:

 

<components>
        <component id="community-tabs">
            <tab id="community-tab" name="LIBRARY"  
                 description="BNX11" cssClass="jive-link-community">
                   <url><![CDATA[<@s.url value="bnxentry.jspa"/>?community=${community.ID?c}]]></url>
            </tab>
        </component>
</components>

 

Is there a way to hide this tab based on groups?

 

thanks!

ken

Hey Ken,

 

Try something like this out:

 

<components>
        <component id="community-tabs">
            <tab id="community-tab" name="LIBRARY"  
                 description="BNX11" cssClass="jive-link-community">
                   <url><![CDATA[<@s.url value="bnxentry.jspa"/>?community=${community.ID?c}]]></url>
                   <when><![CDATA[GroupManager.group.member(user)]]></when>
            </tab>
        </component>
</components

 

You might need to play with it a but, but I think that should work.

in 2.5.2, it's not working.

I might have to just put the logic in community.ftl when it's rendering the tabs.

I really didn't want to do that but I just need to get it working for deployment.

 

thanks!

Alright, hmm. I'll bet the logic may be off a little bit and might require a little bit of tweaking. If you want to go the other route for now, thats cool too. Thanks!

Re: Is there a way to hide your own tab based on groups?

i tried this:

 

<tab id="community-tab" name="LIBRARY" role="systemAdmin"
                 description="BNX11" cssClass="jive-link-community">
                   <url><![CDATA[<@s.url value="bnxentry.jspa"/>?community=${community.ID?c}]]></url>
                   <when><![CDATA[jiveContext.groupManager.group.member(user) == true]]></when>
</tab>

 

but I get this error:

 

freemarker.core.InvalidReferenceException: Expression tem.when?default('true')?eval  is undefined on line 739, column 27 in template/global/include/jive-macros.ftl.

Hmm, what if you do something like:

 

<tab id="community-tab" name="LIBRARY" role="systemAdmin"
                 description="BNX11" cssClass="jive-link-community">
                   <url><![CDATA[<@s.url value="bnxentry.jspa"/>?community=${community.ID?c}]]></url>
                   <when><![CDATA[jiveContext.groupManager.group("my_group_name").member(user) == true]]></when>
</tab

 

If I am reading this code correctly it should:

 

1) Get the jiveContext

2) Get the GroupManager

3) Get the group you are trying to check

4) Check the isMember(user) method of the group

yes.  you're right.

this totally works.  Not authorized to view the specified thread 51801 is not needed

 

<tab id="test" name="testing">
            <when><![CDATA[jiveContext.getGroupManager().getGroup(Support).isMember(user)]]></when>
</tab>

Excellent! I'm happy to hear it

 

 

I forgot that the UI components doesn't strip off the "get" or "is" from the front of methods like freemarker does.
