I have a series of extra fields (prices) for my K2 items that I only want to show to logged in users. To add more, I need to show one field to one User Group (price A) and a different field to a different User Group (Price B). How, can I accomplish this?
I know I can do access level checks for modules, but since these are extra fields attached to K2 items, I'm fumbling for a way to accomplish this.
I was able to accomplish this using the following code (in abbreviated form):
<?php $user = JFactory::getUser(); ?>
<?php if(!$user->guest): ?>
<!-- Prices -->
<div class="moduletable">
<h3 class="specs">Pricing</h3>
<?php
$none = true;
foreach ($this->item->extra_fields as $key=>$extraField) {
if($extraField->value && $extraField->name=='Price A' && in_array(25,$user->groups)) {
echo $extraField->value;
$none = false;
break;
}
elseif($extraField->value && $extraField->name=='Price B' && in_array(26,$user->groups)) {
echo $extraField->value;
$none = false;
break;
}
}
if ($none) echo '<br/><p>Coming Soon!</p>';
?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
Basically, I check to see if the user is logged in, then run through the extra fields to see if the field name is "Price A" and the user is in the user group "Price A" (ID=25). If it matches, I output the price and move on. If not, it does the same check for "Price B." If an extra field for price isn't assigned or the user doesn't have a price level, I give a encouraging message! ;)
Without installing K2 and fiddling with the code I can only give you my thoughts. You need to override the display for your custom fields view. Loop through each of the fields and use conditional statements to determine the visibility of the fields based on use access level or group.
