Modx 2 protected content

Modx default permission setting will redirect user to an unauthorised page when the user did not have permission to view the page.

What if you want to show a teaser of the document?

Here is how:

Create the resource, and do not set the page permission.

Instead, set it to a template which output the resource content by a snippet.

Example template:

[[!out.content? &content=`[[*content]]` &guest=`[[*introtext:empty=`[[*content:ellipsis=`600`:striptags]]`]]` &role=`myrole`]]

-------------

This example above will pass in summary of 600 charactors text for guest while output the full content on Logged in with role specified

-------------

Example snippet:

-------------

$aGroups = $modx->getUserDocGroups(true);

if ($aGroups != null) {

foreach($aGroups as $sGroup) {

if (strtolower(trim($sGroup)) == strtolower(trim($role)) ) {

return $content;

}

}

}

return $guest;

Hope it helps ;)

Cheers~
