Hello,

I wonder whether it is possible to hide text on a WYSIWYG widget editor based on the user group?

That is, I have a Dashboard panel with links to certain areas of the community and there are certain areas that are only for non-paid members. So I don't want the paying members to read the link to information they don't really need. So is it possible to hide text based on user groups?

Thanks

It would be sweet if so. I used Raw HTML blocks for group-aware mixed content as they accept IPS logic. If there's a simpler way I'm all ears!

If you set up a block through the Pages module in the ACP, you can choose the user-groups which will see the entire block.

So, you can just create versions of the same block for each user-group and then show it only to the group which should see it. That should achieve what you ask.

It might not sound as clean as doing it all in one block, but the latter would cause problems as most blocks are cached (which is good!) and then you would again reveal content to the wrong groups. With independent blocks, they can be cached per user-group.

When I add blocks in pages, there is no place where I can select which user gorups can see them. Your suggestion looks great but there is no option there. Take a look at this widget I added in pages. I can only select the devices and not the user groups.

You are on the front end. I said ACP (admin control panel):

Oppps sorry. Thanks a lot. That's a very elaborated way to do things, slow too. I don't understand why if user groups are critical to managing forums and a community, the widgets do not have options in the front-end to display them to whoever you want. Thanks
