Hi,

I’d like to create a site for the school class of my daughter. I want to design two template, one for boys and one the girls. These two designs should be linked to the usergroups boys or girls, is there a chance of getting a snippet or something like that, or a workaround?

Many thanks

A snippet along these lines in your template should work, untested and may need tweaking wink

<?php
$output = '';
$boys = $modx->isMemberOfWebGroup( array('Boys'));
if ($boys === true) {
$output .= 'Your Boys template HTML here...';
} 
else {
$output .= 'Your Girls template HTML here...';
}
return $output;
?>

Hm,
I’ve tried it, but I’not quite sure were to put the snippet call. I inserted it in the templates. First into the body them into the first <div>. It returned the following:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VAR in /home/www/ent7a24/html/content/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(772) : eval()'d code on line 27

This function:

    function DocumentParser() {
        $this->loadExtension('DBAPI') or die('Could not load DBAPI class.'); // load DBAPI class
        $this->dbConfig= & $this->db->config; // alias for backward compatibility
        $this->jscripts= array ();
        $this->sjscripts= array ();
        $this->loadedjscripts= array ();
        // events
        $this->event= new SystemEvent();
        $this->Event= & $this->event; //alias for backward compatibility
        $this->pluginEvent= array ();
        // set track_errors ini variable
        @ ini_set("track_errors", "1"); // enable error tracking in $php_errormsg
    }

line 27:

$this->pluginEvent= array ();

thanks for your help
Olaf

Now, I’ve test several things.
It works with textstrings, f.e. boys/girls as simple text
It works with chunks, f.e. a calendar chunk

But it just inserts divs or text not whole templates. I receive error message like those above.

Check http://www.modxcms.com/TemplateSwitcher-565.html
I remember it could produce links that adds ?template=name

Maybe that can help if you show the users a different navigation menu.

Hi,

yes, it kind of works, could be a beginning, but it’s not as convenient as I hoped it could be. I would prefer a more dynamic way.

But thank you, i will use now and I’m hoping for the solution via usergroups

greetings
Olaf

If you have the plugin installed this might work:

<a href="[~1~][!Template!]">Home</a>

Then have your snippet Template:

<?php
$output = '';
$boys = $modx->isMemberOfWebGroup( array('Boys'));
if ($boys === true) {
$output .= '|QM|template|EQ|boys';
} 
else {
$output .= '|QM|template|EQ|girls';
}
$output .= str_replace("|QM|", "?", $output);
$output .= str_replace("|EQ|", "=", $output);
return $output;
?>

Not sure if that’s the way one put the character replacement

It seems to me, that we found a solution with the german modxcms.de-Team.

1. install PHx
2. install loadTemplate-Snippet by Bogdan

<?
$path="assets/templates/";
include($path.$name);
?>

3. Load your template.html (s) to assets/templates
4. create new template with this call:

[+phx:mo=`usergroup`:then=`[[loadTemplate? &name=`template1.html`]]`:else=`[[loadTemplate? &name=`template2.html`]]`+]

5. Change your documents to the new created template
