Hi,
When a user logs in , depending on his
role, a particular layout template has to
be chosen. This layout template will have
place holders for the navigation and the screen.
Depending on the user's
role, the links in the navigation template
will be dynamically built. For example, if a
manager logs in then his links on the navigation
bar will be create account, view history, view invoice,
create order etc. If a ordinary worker were to log
in he would have links like view profile, view products
etc.
once the user is logged in, throughout his session i would
like to have the same layout template(whatever is chosen depending
on his role). As long he gets the same layout throughout his
session, i think even the navigation templates referred within
his layout get automatically handled(i mean as long as the lay
out is the same, the same navigation links are always shown
through out his session.)
The first time a user logs in, the screen to be rendered
will be one of those represented or referenced in the
navigation bar. So a manager after logging may get to Createaccount.vm
and an ordinary worker may get to viewprofile.vm.
Is is possible to do this kind of template management which
is tightly coupled to the user's role? If yes, any suggestions
on how to go about solving this would be appreciated.
Thanks
Madhavi

So do you basically want the same content for each type of
user but just different layouts and navigations?
For example, do you want to have the same Index.vm
for all the users but have different navigations
depending on the user who is logged in. Maybe a
different menu across the top for different users.
If you explained a little more, I might be able
to give you some specific help.
