Use user role data in web content

[John Snow, modificado hace 6 años.]

So in liferay editor I have one web content page that I would like to add a user role check to. But only to certain part inside it.

So my question is. How can I get logged in user's role(s) and then use that role to hide or show certain html row.

Something like this:

if(userRole == "someWeirdRole") {
<div>Show this content</div>
}

But like I said I would only like to use this on this one web content page. Also I can't use permisions cause I don't want to hide the whole page but just some of it's content.

You're best creating a structure with a template: Have a role name accompany an HTML text (they're nestable) and write the active content (your check for role membership) in the template.

A template can access Liferay's API and the current user, and contain active content. Web Content Articles themselves can not.

Hey! Thanks for the feedback.

Is it possible to do something like this. In WYSIWYG editor there is a content that the editor added. In source I added id to the a link like

<p>This is some content</p>
<a href="#" onclick="somefunction()">Click me</a>
<p>Some more content</p>

But then when I create the template in liferay it overrides my content from editor and displays the content from the velocity template instead.

I would like to display an alert message when user clicks on the link

Where exactly do you wish to check for permissions?You need to check for permissions in template and accordingly it will checked as per the template over the content.
