Could someone guide me on restricting the NEWS panel from specific membergroups?

I mean, fader was set in theme settings. enable_news = false isn't affecting that.

A while back I saw some ideas here on refusing to show the news based on a person's group number.

It worked well for the news when shown in the header but not when using the fader.


is there an equivalent to "enable_news" for the fader?

I am unsure if enable_ is a php command or a function here.

Theme settings: Show news fader on board index

in BoardIndex.template.php

Code Select Expand

// Show the news fader?  (assuming there are things to show...)
if ($settings['show_newsfader'] && !empty($context['fader_news_lines']))

didn't intend for it that way, but one was about news..the other fader.   syllogistically related, but I couldn't remove the other.

The group in question is "10".

The hope would be by adding && !in_array(10, $user_info['groups'])   in there it wouldn't process the news fader if you're in group 10--only showing to anyone NOT in that group.

But, putting in there didn't have an effect on any group.

What did have affect was taking out the "!". 

That removed the fader for everyone, including the admin (group 1).
