How to catch getNodes from resource tree as event

I need to filter the resource tree nodes based on context. I need to see only "web" context while other context (webAlfa, webBeta) need to be hidden (actually the resources inside them).

The idea was to filter the getNodes request but there is no event that is triggered in there.

Does anyone have any idea how to pull this off?

I found an easy solution but it's ugly.. changing the core files sad

All I did, was to add an extra "System event" called OnResourceGetNodes and added in processors/resource/getnodes.class.php on line 62:

 $this->modx->invokeEvent('OnResourceGetNodes',array(
            'items' => &$this->items,
            'contextKey' => $this->contextKey
        ));

And did the filtering in the plugin.

Since editing the core files is stupid and will be replaced on next "update"... does anyone have any other suggestions?

U just need an ACL and an secound Usergroup

1st Edit the Administator Usergroup, and go to Context-Access. Give this Admin Group Administrator Access for the Superuser Role. for Both Contextes.

Now Edit your 2nd Usergroup, which shouldn`t see this 2 contextes. Add only the "web" context with maybe Resource Access for the "Member" Role.

Finally Reset all Sessions and login again, your not Administrator User should now only see the live Context and the other one is "hidden". In the same way you can add Usergroups for the other ones.

But you never should restrict the Administrator Usergroup the Access, otherwise its not that easy to handle gaining access again.

ACL makes it only for specific user, i need to filter the nodes for administrator and it needs to be dynamic...

create second administrator group (adminweb for example) using ACL. Give it access to mgr and web only.

If any Context is connected to a User Group with a Context Access ACL entry, its resources are hidden from *everyone* outside that User Group (unless their User Group has a similar Context Access ACL entry for the Context).

I want to do it dynamicly with a click of a button... Since there isnt a direct option maybe i'll dig in the ACL to see if i can set correct ACL entery "on-the-fly" while page is being loaded... Any suggestions?
