Module Permissions

[mahalleday]

How can I set/check a user/usergroup's permission level for my module?  Right now I can to see if the user is a admin the give them full access but it;s not the most elgant or scure why of going about it.  I know there are some admin classes built into WB to handle this I am just not sure how to implement them. 

If anyone can explain how or poitn me to an example or somethig in another mod I could follwo that would be great.

Did you tried to go to access >show advanced options  and there to check/uncheck permisions for the group you want ?

What i mean is i ned to know what code i need to place in my module to check for permission the admins will set in the backend.

you dont need to put any code... just set acces in access menu. for example if you uncheck the wysiwyg, every section in page menu with wysiwyg will be visible...

just play a little with those permissions and you will figure out..

How about this:

Code:

function checkPerm(){
   
    require_once(WB_PATH.'/framework/class.wb.php');
    global $page_id, $database;
    $wb = new wb;
   
        //Borrowed code from Frontend Edit snippet.
        if (is_numeric($wb->get_session('USER_ID'))) {
            /**
            *    Get permissons
            */
            if ($page_id)
                $this_page = $page_id;
            else
                $this_page = $wb->default_page_id;
           
            $results = $database->query("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."pages WHERE page_id = '$this_page'");
            $results_array = $results->fetchRow();
            $old_admin_groups = explode(',', $results_array['admin_groups']);
            $old_admin_users = explode(',', $results_array['admin_users']);
            $this_user = $wb->get_session('GROUP_ID');
   
            $query = "SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."pages WHERE page_id = '".$page_id."'";
            $get_pages = $database->query($query);
           
            $page = $get_pages->fetchRow();
            $admin_groups = explode(',', str_replace('_', '', $page['admin_groups']));
            $admin_users = explode(',', str_replace('_', '', $page['admin_users']));
            $in_group = FALSE;
           
            foreach($wb->get_groups_id() as $cur_gid)
                if (in_array($cur_gid, $admin_groups)) $in_group = TRUE;
           
            if (($in_group) OR is_numeric(array_search($this_user, $old_admin_groups)) ) {
                return TRUE;
            }     
        }
}

You can then call it with:

Code:

if(checkPerm() == TRUE) {
        //code to execute if user is in admin group for this module
} else {
        //code to run otherwise
}

As the comment in the code states, most of this is from the frontend edit snippet.  I've used it in a few projects on an intranet and haven't had any issues.  However, I do think it would be nice to have a built in function for this type of thing.  I'm working on a couple modules that allow frontend editing and have been making due with this.
