Hi Jonas,

I confirm there is no such notification like “before sort” for group list.

I can recommend you try NavigationProvider, you already know this solution (http://developer.dynamicweb-cms.com/Forum/Development/NavigationProvider-Remove-menus.aspx?PID=48)

Finally you can try to use DataList module, type own SQL query and receive desired layout.

Kind Regards

Hi,

I have solution!

You need to create a group template extender and make permissions check as you wanted. In the extender you have access to current user and rendered group. If permission check is successful, then populate custom tag (Custom.CheckHasAccess in my example). Second, you need to change group list template and decorate group’s tags by “if defined” construction with your custom tag checking (see example).

Code of GroupTemplateExtender:

using Dynamicweb;

using Dynamicweb.eCommerce.Products;

namespace CustomModules1

{

    public class GroupTemplateExtender1 : GroupTemplateExtender

    {

        public override void ExtendTemplate(Dynamicweb.Templatev2.Template template)

        {

            string userID = User.UserID.ToString();

            string groupID = Group.ID;           

            string requiredUserGroup = "291";//example user group

            //make permission check

            //User.Groups contains array of groups where the user presents

            bool condition = User.Groups.Contains(requiredUserGroup);

            if (condition)

            {

                template.SetTag("Custom.CheckHasAccess", "true");

            }

            else

            {

                //nothing to do.

            }

        }

    }

}

Group list template:

<ul id="grouplist" class="horizontal">

    <!--@LoopStart(Groups)-->

             <!--@If Defined(Custom.CheckHasAccess)-->    

                    <li class="listitem<!--@Groups.LoopMod2-->" style="display:<!--@Custom.Visible-->">

                          <h3><a href="<!--@Ecom:Group.Link.Clean-->"><!--@Ecom:Group.Name--></a></h3>

                          <span class="shortdescription"><!--@Ecom:Group.Description--></span><br/>       

                    </li>

             <!--@EndIf(Custom.CheckHasAccess)-->

    <!--@LoopEnd(Groups)-->

</ul>

Kind Regards

Of course!

Just what I needed.
Thanks for the very good example

Best regards

Hi Yury

I cant find this extender anywhere.

I only have the "old" ProductTemplateExtenders etc.
I references the newest Dynamicweb.dll downloaded today and basically copy/pasted you code above. I think this should work.

Do you know what I'm missing?

Cheers
Jonas
