Using blogs for external and internal release notes?

[GlennD]

Hi,

I'm new to Lithium and still learning about all it can do. We are using the blog feature for our customer facing Release Notes and I am wondering if it is possible to have some internal content included, that would only be visible to employees that are signed into the community?

@GlennD

It can be done using freemarker context object. You just need to wrap the gated things inside it. 

<#if user.registered>
<#-- Gated content goes here and will be visible to logged in user only -->
</#if>

@VikasB - This condition will not work inside an editor.  

@GlennD - You can not fully restrict the content, however, you can hide it using CSS or remove using JS. For that, your internal content must have a different class, which you can give by switching to HTML mode.  SS below.

                                                  

 CSS

.internal-content{  
   display: none;
 }

.lia-user-status-registered .internal-content{
   display:block;
}
