Hello Greg,
I am trying to have a different set of menu depending on the permission of
the user.
This was implemented by creating Default.java where isAuthorised is used to
set different layout
protected boolean isAuthorized(RunData data) throws Exception
{
boolean isAuthorized = false;
AccessControlList acl = data.getACL();
if (acl == null || !acl.hasRole("turbine_root"))
{
data.setScreenTemplate(Turbine.getConfiguration().getString("template.login"
));
isAuthorized = false;
}
else if (acl.hasRole("turbine_root") && acl.hasRole("admin"))
{
data.setLayoutTemplate("AdminDefault.vm");
isAuthorized = true;
}
else if (acl.hasRole("turbine_root"))
{
isAuthorized = true;
}
return isAuthorized;
}
This worked out nicely until I tried to change the screen template and the
layout template
reverted back to Default.vm
I prefered this way as I did not have to include the checking in every
template.
Is this going against the MVC paradigm?
Is there inheritance in Velocity Template ?
Regards,
Naree
