Hi! It's really interesting.
ReplyDeleteI have this piece of code:
< ?php
if(isset($this->cat_allow_submission) && $this->cat_allow_submission && $this->user_addlisting >= 0) {
echo (whatever...);
}
(more code...)
As you state in your article, I added 'step 1' in factory php. And now, in 'step 2', I have a doubt, how exactly adding the group_id condition? (I have a very, very, very little idea of coding, not at all an expert), maybe like this?
< ?php
$group_id = & JFactory::group_id();
if (isset($this->cat_allow_submission) && $this->cat_allow_submission && $this->user_addlisting >= 0 && ($this->group_id == 8 | $this->group_id == 10)) {
{
echo (whatever...);
}
(more code...)
Or am I doing something senseless?
Try this...
ReplyDeletecat_allow_submission) && $this->cat_allow_submission && $this->user_addlisting >= 0 && ($group_id == 8 || $group_id == 10)) {
{
echo (whatever...);
}
(more code...)
I guess this solved your issue?
Yesssssss, sir!!!!! Thank you so much, buddy :)
