Change Page based on user

Hi there. I created a custom Community Page and I'd like to enable it only for select users. Is this possible?   I saw that page initialization will let me change the quilt, but I need more :)

    Even simpler then, add the redirection to the custom page in the page initialization code i shared earlier.

True, I'll try that.

 

Thanks for the help :)

    Hey. So, it turns out the code does work; there's just some glitch with our Staging environment.

     

    So, in case someone wants to try, you can replace any page on the fly:

     

    <#if !user.anonymous && page.name == "CommunityPage">
     <#if user.login = "<your name>">
     ${http.response.replaceQuilt("CommunityPage","CommunityPage.Music")}
     </#if>
    </#if>

      This is extraordinary PerBonomi, thanks for sharing.

       

      I am very excited to build a home page just for my super users.

      Might even have to consider the notion of an "expert mode" people can opt in to.

       

      Widget on their profile/sidebar to add/remove the option (endpoint using restadmin to add or remove a specific role)

      Quick check in the page initilization script for the role

      Bingo, load up a custom quilt for homepages and board views.
