How to check if a user has permission to read a board
Right now there is a method that checks if the user has a permission on the current node, "coreNode.permissions.hasPermission("PROPERTY")" I wonder if there is any way that I can check the permissions on some other node. My current use case for this is to create a menu. If a user has permission to read a board, the board should be included in the menu. If not, it should be omitted. I tried getting the node object and passing it like "THISNODE.permissions.hasPermission("PROPERTY")" but no luck. Maybe there is some other way? Or maybe im using it wrong/syntax error.137Views0likes1CommentHow to identify requested url of a "Node Not Found" error
If a node does not exist, the coreNode context object seems to revert to a default. Is there any way in freemarker to check what node the user was attempting to reach? I would ideally be performing this check in the common.init so that I can run some logic to either show the NNF error or initiate a redirect, depending on what node was requested.152Views0likes1CommentHow to tell if the requested node exists?
Im trying to add a function to my common.init that is basically <#if node exists > do stuff </#if> I tried the following but no luck. <#if !coreNode> <#if !coreNode.id> <#if !coreNode.ancestors> <#if page.name == "ErrorPage"> but none of them actually run their contents on a nonexistant node. Is there a way to check if the requested node exists?110Views0likes1CommentRe: Documentation for coreNode.permissions.hasPermission
Thanks! I was actually after the list of identifiers, but if you follow the links from there, theres a PDF that has them https://community.lithium.com/t5/Roles-and-permissions/Permission-descriptions/ta-p/108801?attachment-id=5531 Thanks!125Views0likes0CommentsDocumentation for coreNode.permissions.hasPermission
I remember finding some documentation on coreNode.permissions.hasPermission, but I cant find it anymore. Anyone know where this went? I understand that this might still be "experimental." Nevertheless its a method we use, and I would like to understand it better.Solved141Views0likes2CommentsAPI post syntax
Ive been looking all over the documentation and i cant find an example of an API Post. There are lots of examples of how to construct the URL, but i havent been able to find an example for the entire freemarker syntax looking for something along these lines <#sometag [stuff] /url/set?value="xyz" [stuff] /> Does anyone know how to do this? thanks!Solved161Views0likes2CommentsChange language value
I would like to be able to update a users language preference. I am able to view the preference here: {community url}/restapi/vc/users/id/{user id}/profiles/?profile.language But im having trouble figuring out how to structure the rest call to change the value. After looking through the api documentation, i am still a little lost. thanks!!Solved266Views0likes1Comment"title" not a valid LiQL constraint
I have several categories and their titles are similar to the following "Moderators ABC" "Moderators XYZ" "Moderators 123" I attemted to access them, first by the more direct SELECT title FROM categories WHERE title = "Moderators ABC" and also by SELECT title FROM categories WHERE title MATCHES "Moderators" Both of these queries returned a 604 error that said "'title' is not a valid constraint for the object 'categories'." Does anyone know why title might not be a valid constraint? And what I can do to select all of my Moderators categories? Thanks!Solved309Views0likes1Comment
