    • How to control Module Visability based on Category

    Posted by Zac posts: 72 United States

    I'm running Tiki9.2. Is it possible to control visibility of a module based on the category of the current object?

    I would like to use TrackerList plugin in a User Module on wiki pages that is only visible when that wiki page belongs to a certain set of categories.

    I thought about doing this with Smarty IF statement bu modifying a .tpl file:

    Copy to clipboard
    {if isset($objectCategoryIds) and in_array(257, $objectCategoryIds)}
 show this
{/if}

    as shown here, but would rather not make these modification if possible.

    Is there an easier way to do this? Something like a "category=1:2:3" parameter for the module?

    tiki-admin_modules.php -> Edit Module ->

    Category
    Module displayed depending on category. Multiple category ids or names can be separated by semi-colons.

    No Category
    Module hidden depending on category. Multiple category ids or names can be separated by semi-colons. This takes precedence over the category parameter above

    For custom user modules you need to add the params like this to the module "Parameters" text area:

    Copy to clipboard
    category[0]=1&category[1]=2&category[2]=3


    or via MODULE plugin:

    Copy to clipboard
    category[0]=1 category[1]=2 category[2]=3


    In case you do not need to use module, there is CATEGORY plugin iirc which you can wrap around your TRACKERLIST.

    Thanks Marc and Luci.

    I was able to get both Category and NoCategory to work using Luci's syntax.

    I added this info to the Creating User Modules docs.
