[EP-tech] Antwort: Access user via javascript?

Hi,

from a point of view of security, I don't think that _javascript_ is a good way, since it can be turned off or changed browser side.

There is the undocument variable $STAFF_ONLY that can be used in EPScript und EPrints Control Format (EPC).

<epc:if test="$STAFF_ONLY = 'TRUE'">display something here</epc:if>

It is mentioned in http://wiki.eprints.org/w/How_to_control_eprint_workflow_based_on_a_user_field (in the workflow description at the bottom), but not explained there.

In my opinion, that variable (and possible other system variables) should be documented in

http://wiki.eprints.org/w/EPScript

Best regards,

Martin

Betreff: [EP-tech] Access user via _javascript_?
Gesendet von: eprints-tech-bounces@ecs.soton.ac.uk




Hi all,
 
Is there something set up in ePrints that allows you to get user details (such as type/role, email, etc.) via _javascript_?  I did have a look through the auto.js file but didn’t see anything, though given the size of that file it’d be very easy for me to miss something obvious!
 
The reason I ask is that I want to show a section in the abstract details only to admins (which is currently set up in cfg/citations/eprint/control.xml).  I originally tried to modify that section, but with the caching it obviously didn’t work.  I then tried to use a pin but had the same problems.  Someone responded to my original EPrints UK User Group post (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/eprints-uk-user-group/LloconUdLDg) suggesting that js may be a good way forward.
 
If there’s not something already available then I could update the main template to include a json object of the user details which I can then use later on in the page.  But hopefully someone else has already tried to add/show content dynamically based on role (or any other user property, I imagine) and can give some advice.
 
Many thanks,
 
Andy
