[SOLVED] CB Substitution in articles: How to hide a tab if the owner is a Super User OR a Publisher?

Hi,

I'm using CB Substitutions to insert the Contact Info tab in the articles, so far I've achieved what I needed with this code:

{cb:[cb:usertab tab="11" output="html" formatting="table" reason="profile" /]}

What I need now is to be able to hide the above tab if the author of the article is a Super User or a Publisher.

My Viewing Access Levels are set like this:

"Spacial" with id 3 = "Super Users" and "Publishers"
"Super Users" with id 5 = "Super Users"

My "Super User" User Group is with id 8 and my "Publisher" User Group is with id 5.

I think I've managed to achieve what I want by the following:

{cb:[cb:if viewaccesslevel !includes "3" || !includes "5"][cb:usertab tab="11" output="html" formatting="table" reason="profile" /][/cb:if]}

BUT I'm not sure if I'm using the right code.

I've searched a lot but I couldn't find how to use properly the "or" operator in case of multiple values, e.g.:

viewaccesslevel !includes "3" || !includes "5"

viewaccesslevel !includes "3||5"

viewaccesslevel !includes "3|5"

viewaccesslevel !includes "3" || viewaccesslevel !includes "5"

viewaccesslevel !=~"/3|5/"


Is it better to use the "includes" operator or the regex?

Is better to use the "viewaccesslevel" or the "gids" ?

Could you correct me if I'm making a mistake please?

Thank you
Best regards

The below is the correct usage, but I've no idea how well the viewaccesslevel checks will work using the or operator.

[cb:if viewaccesslevel !includes "3" or viewaccesslevel !includes "5"]
[cb:usertab tab="11" output="html" formatting="table" reason="profile" /]
[/cb:if]

Hi Kyle,

Thank you for your quick response.

Could you instead tell me how to hide the tab with the usage of "user_id" as I will not have many publishers I think it will be much easier.

Let's say I have 2 publishers with ID's 123 and 214, also as I have some articles who's authors are deleted so it will show as an article with author's ID 0.

I've tried the below code but it's not working to hide the tab in the articles in case the authors are with ID's 123, 214, 0:

[cb:if user_id!="123" or user_id!="214" or user_id!="0"]
[cb:usertab tab="11" output="html" formatting="table" reason="profile" /]
[/cb:if]

For now I'm using:

[cb:if viewaccesslevel !includes "3"]
[cb:usertab tab="11" output="html" formatting="table" reason="profile" /]
[/cb:if]

I suppose I don't need to use the or operator as my Viewing Access Level "Spacial" with id 3 includes both "Super Users" and "Publishers".

Thank you again
You are grate

Navigate to Extensions > Plug-in Manager > Content - Community Builder and ensure under Basic you have User set to Author and not the Viewer. It defaults to Viewer, which causes all substitutions to be based off the user viewing the article and not who wrote it.

Hi,

It is already set to Author, I haven't changed it.

Anyway I think it's working now with the below:

[cb:if viewaccesslevel !includes "3"]
[cb:usertab tab="11" output="html" formatting="table" reason="profile" /]
[/cb:if]

so better not mess it.

Thank you
Have nice day
