Answered Show css to Manager logged in users only

Hi,

I am working on a live site and want to add some media queries to it without the end user seeing until it's finished. I was thinking of initially creating a seperate style sheet for the media queries, and then only showing that to managers who are logged in.
I tried the below;
[[!+modx.user.id:isloggedin:eq=`1`:then=`
<!-- logged in -->
`:else=`
<!-- NOT logged in -->
`]]

But even though I'm logged in as a manager, it's still show me the 'else' comment instead of the 'then' comment.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Andy

I would try a snippet in the Template:

if ($modx->user->isMember('Administrator')) {
    $modx->regClientCSS('path/to/css/file');
}
return '';

That will inject the CSS at the end of the head section where it will override any previous CSS file.

Ah Ok thanks - I actually found this online in the meantime - using an isAdmin snippet - this was designed to hide google analytics to managers, but does the same job I guess!

They do almost the same job. Mark's snippet uses hasSessionContext('mgr'), so it will detect anyone who is logged into the mgr context (Administrator group member or not), but not someone who is testing the front-end without logging in to the Manager. Which one would be better depends on the specific use case.
