    • Menu module; include a page menu but keep that page hidden for visitors

    Posted by Bernard Sfez / Tiki Specialist posts: 8654 France

    Hello,

    In Tiki24 I can use a wiki page in a menu page module like the Tiki shared footer menu that is visible for anonymous.

    However I don't want anonymous (or the sitemap) to directly access this page on its own.
    - When Anonymous "access the page" included in a module the content is displayed
    - When Anonymous access the page directly the content is NOT displayed

    In the object permission (on the page) I tried to figure what permission to turn on and off:

    • Can view page/pages (tiki_p_view)
    • Can use the page as a template for a tracker or unified search (tiki_p_use_as_template)
    • Can view in module and feed the wiki pages reference (tiki_p_wiki_view_ref)


    But it is an all or nothing situation.

    Or Anon can see the page and so the content can be used in a module.
    Or Anon can't see the page or the content.

    Any ideas on this ?

    So... you want Anonymous visitors to be able to view the page, only if they arrive on the page from the link in the menu, right?

    I don't see how this would be possible within the Tiki permission framework, but perhaps you can look at the Referer HTTP Header? Maybe check to confirm that it comes from the current domain?

    Hello Rick and thanks for looking at this.

    No, that not what I meant.

    I want anonymous able to see the menu page module in the footer when they load https://tiki.org
    But not be able to load directly the page (https://tiki.org/Shared_t_o_footer)

    Ah.... got it. You can easily do this with CSS:

    Copy to clipboard
    {if !$user}
<style type="text/css">
.page-data .twfooter {display:none}
</style>
{/if}


    And if you want to make the page only available to admins, you could simply change it to something like:

    Copy to clipboard
    {if $tiki_p_admin_wiki eq 'y'}
...
{/if}


    Of course, this isn't perfect (as the user can always see the page's content in the source).

    Yes there are several "coders" way. (CSS being the simplest).
    I thought there could be an option or permission in Tiki as this seems to me a logical behaviour.
    (have access to inner content but not the page where this content is stored).

    A bit like we have the following permission: "Can view in module and feed the wiki pages reference (tiki_p_wiki_view_ref)".

    Anyway, the question is in the forum... May be one day someone will find a (non-coder) solution. 😉

    Hello Bernard,
    just a pointer idea:

    We have a similar preference in Tiki Trackers, where we can set that users can view tracker content only (included) in wiki pages, but not (directly) in the tracker feature itself, respectively not the tracker item itself.

    If I had to write your preference, that would be the first place I would look at and try to analyese wether I find a useful code snippet or concept.

    Hth,
