Hi,
In a CC table, I want the datas displayed to the registred user only FROM this user. But if the user is an admin (or an author) i want ALL datas displayed.
I have looked for a solution on the forum for this question and have find this topic vith this tip :
<?php $user =& JFactory::getUser(); if ( !in_array($user->gid, array('24', '25')) ) { // user is not an admin echo "WHERE `cf_user_id` = '{$user->id}'"; } ?>
But as Bob said, this is for Joomla 1.5 and I'm working on Joomla 2.5.9 with CC 4.0.RC3.2
So when i use this code, user actually read only HIS datas, but Admin has no access. Maybe is it coming from the diffrence of Joomla version ?
If anybody could suggest me something ? Thanks by advance...

Hi Stef,

First of all you need to make sure that you are using the correct groups ids for your admins, they are different in J2.5

2ndly, the $user->gid is an array in J2.5, so you have to account for this, try to convert your if statement to:

if(count(array_intersect($user->gid, array(24, 25))))

I think this should work after you insert the correct admin groups ids.

Hi,
and thanks for answering on a saturday evening ! :-)
That's was a good lead, so I found this on Convergence Forum. I rewrote the "else" for my own needs and it give that :

<?php $user = & JFactory::getUser(); //8 is for Super User and 7 is for Administrator if(isset($user->groups[8]) || isset($user->groups[7])){ } else{ echo "`cf_user_id` = '{$user->id}'"; } ?>
Seems to work very well ! Just as i'm writting php like a spanish cow : Is it correct to let the first bracket empty ?

Hi Stef,

Great, you mean this one:
if(isset($user->groups[8]) || isset($user->groups[7])){ }
if so then yes, it will simply do nothing, you may omit it if you can reverse the if clause check, but you may just leave it as its!🙂

You and Bob give a real good support here on the forum to help us working with yours components, but you also share all yours PHP and MySQL skills, and this is REALLY a plus ! Thanks a lot for all your work...

Hi Stef,

You are welcome, this is how everybody learns🙂

Beers are for Bob because he does an extreme effort on the forums actually🙂

Hi to all,
please...id like to know how use that code used by BigStef..
i mean...i too need to show the records from a db only to its owner by CC, and optionally to let him to edit the data....

so i need to controll if cf_user_id is equal to $user->id....and if they are equal the record are showed....but where have i put that code?
when i use the custom code in CUSTOM LIST SETTINGS i have no value for cf_user_id in the head.....just in the body...maybe am i wrong something?!!

thanks..best regards :-)

Hi Salvo,
I have put this code in the "WHERE SQL" of my connection (Tabs General > Sub-Tab General). And it works as simply as this.
If it don't in your connection, the first question will be : " Have you done you form with Chronoform ? " If yes, the cf_user_id is automatically created so you should not have problem... Is that the case ?

Hi BigStef,
sorry for delay...
yes thanks....i put that in "WHERE SQL"...as you say...and it works good ;-)

Best regards...Salvo
