isMemberOfWebGroup(array('Group1', 'Group2'))) {
    $modx->sendUnauthorizedPage();
}
?>

This worked for me nicely (Thanks Jason), except that my login form toggles to logout message instead of showing content.

unless I misunderstand it, Jason’s solution would require me manually calling the snippet on non-public pages. these pages are going to be created dynamically by users - some to be visible in public menus, others to be hidden. many may start ’invisible’ and then migrate to ’public’ over time. it would be a nightmare to manage!

Not quite, you would only need to add the snippet to the template and it would automatically redirect if the user was not a member of group defined in the snippet.

Edit: fixed typo

hello

sorry, have been away

thanks for the tip but I need this automated along the lines discussed

the offer still stands if anyone fancies a go at building adapting wayfinder to do what I need...

thanks all

Another way to do it would be to simply leave the documents that should show in the public menus out of the document group and use a snippet on those documents to redirect unauthorized users instead, i.e.

isMemberOfWebGroup(array('Group1', 'Group2'))) {
    $modx->sendUnauthorizedPage();
}
?>

Okay I see what you mean.
I’ll have a look next week and see if that’s achievable.

Hello

Thanks for asking for clarification. Your suggestion in my original post covers my needs now but I can envisage a time when that could change. It would be great to have the additional functionality already available at that time.

My ideal scenario would be to have a &showPrivate (?) parameter which accepts a comma-separated list of specific Document Groups to include within the menu tree. This way I can have menu links to certain private Documents Groups visible to public visitors but, as usual, others would only be visible to logged-in visitors with appropriate access rights.

Given the above, I don’t think an &hidePrivate is necessary.

Does that make sense? If not, let me know....

Thanks

Do you mean that some private docs should appear in the menu and some should not and that you would like a parameter that overides the default of private not showing.
Something like &showPrivate for certain docs, while the other private docs stay hidden unless logged in as a web user?

Hello

I have a need for Wayfinder to include specific Document Groups to the public visitor. The composition of these Doc Groups will vary dynamically so the &includeDocs parameter is inappropriate.

For background, please see
http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,28082.0.html

I have no idea how much to pay for this adaptation but am completely happy for the code to be made available for all. I can see it perhaps becoming core functionality one day. Basically, I would like to include/exclude specific Doc Groups in the Wayfinder call.

I guess I would need some form of invoice and I would pay via Paypal.

If anyone can give me some rough estimates on price and delivery then that would be very helpful.
