Hello Steve, hello Xataface devs & users out there,

First one thing : I'm using the new xataface release for a few weeks now, and i really enjoy it : Thanks for your work, Steve.

I've got a "general" question about permissions in delegate class :

In my delegates classes, i'm using a getPermissions function to set the permissions for each user, depending on a role.
Its work well on the table that display the records.

In each delegate class, i also have a block__after_main_section function : is there a simple way to "inherit" the permissions of the getPermissions function to show/hide the content of this block?

Please excuse my english..

Thanks very much.

Inside the block function (or anywhere else) you can use permissions by calling getPermissions() on the current table or record.

e.g.

Code: Select all

function block__myblock(){
    $app = Dataface_Application::getInstance();
    $record = $app->getRecord();
    if ( $record and $record->checkPermission('my permission') ){
        echo 'Only print this if the user is granted the permission "my permission" on the current record';
    }

}

Thanks a lot, Steve, it's exactly what i needed.
