How to hide the navigation portlet after logging out?

Question

How to hide the navigation portlet after logging out? What I definitely want is that if the administrator who is logged in visits the site, the navigation portlet should appear and be visible to him until he logs out of the plone site. But if a regular user visits the plone site, the portlet should not appear.

Answer 1

A good feature of Plone is the ability to assign portlets not only to locations, but also to content types and groups. To resolve your request, simply assign the portlet to the Administrators group.

To do this, go to the Plonesite control panel, click "Users and Groups", click "Green Tabs" "Groups", click "Administrators", click the "Group Portlets" tab, add a portlet.

To play this program, use the Genericsetup (export the portlets.xml of the site and include the appropriate components in your product).

For completeness: familiar to assign portlets to a content type, go to the control panel, click "Types", select the desired type ("Event") in the drop-down list and click "Manage portlets assigned to this content type", assign a portlet. Progressively reproducible by exporting "Types" and incorporating it into your products.

Answer 2

Thanks to everyone for the whole answer to my question. Unfortunately, the solution you all provided does not work for me. Therefore, I myself did this to hide the navigation portlet when logging out.

Step 1: In overrides.zcml

<plone:portlet name="navigation_bar" interface="plone.app.portlets.portlets.navigation.INavigationPortlet" assignment="plone.app.portlets.portlets.navigation.Assignment" renderer=".browser.navi_portlet.navigation_portlet" addview="plone.app.portlets.portlets.navigation.AddForm" editview="plone.app.portlets.portlets.navigation.EditForm" /> <plone:portletRenderer portlet="plone.app.portlets.portlets.navigation.INavigationPortlet" class=".browser.navi_portlet.navigation_portlet" layer=".interfaces.IThemeSpecific" /> 

renderer = ". browser.navi_portlet.navigation_portlet" here the browser is my folder that contains the navi_portlet file with the navigation_portlet method.

Step 2: navi_portlet.py:

  from Products.Five.browser import BrowserView from Products.Five.browser.pagetemplatefile import ViewPageTemplateFile from Products.CMFPlone import PloneMessageFactory as _ from plone.app.portlets.portlets.navigation import Renderer from plone.app.layout.viewlets.common import PersonalBarViewlet from Products.Five.browser.pagetemplatefile import ViewPageTemplateFile from plone.app.layout.globals.interfaces import IViewView class navigation_portlet(Renderer,PersonalBarViewlet): _template= ViewPageTemplateFile('templates/nav_portlet.pt') def nav_up(self): mytal = PersonalBarViewlet.update(self) 

what I did in navi_portlet.py, I just inherited the PersonalBarViewlet from the widget (egg folder) and the Renderer from the portlets (egg folder). To override the default behavior, to hide it when you log out.

Step 3: nav_portlet.pt

  <dl class="actionMenu deactivated" id="portlet portletNavigationTree" tal:define="user_actions python:view.nav_up();root view/navigation_root" tal:condition="python:view.user_actions and not view.anonymous"> <tal:block condition="not: view/anonymous"> <dt class="portletHeader" tal:attributes="class python:view.hasName() and 'portletHeader' or 'portletHeader hiddenStructure'"> <span class="portletTopLeft"></span> <a href="#" class="tile" tal:attributes="href string:${view/heading_link_target}" tal:content="view/title" i18n:translate="">Navigation</a> <span class="portletTopRight"></span> </dt> <dd class="portletItem lastItem"> <ul class="navTree navTreeLevel0"> <li tal:define="selectedClass view/root_item_class; li_class python:selectedClass and ' navTreeCurrentNode' or ''; normalizeString nocall:context/plone_utils/normalizeString; section_title root/Title; section python:normalizeString(section_title);" tal:condition="view/include_top" tal:attributes="class string:navTreeItem navTreeTopNode${li_class} section-${section}"> <div tal:define="rootIsPortal view/root_is_portal; root_icon view/root_icon; root_type root/portal_type; root_type_class python:'contenttype-' + normalizeString(root_type); root_class python:rootIsPortal and 'contenttype-plone-site' or root_type_class;"> <a tal:attributes="href root/absolute_url; title root/Description; class python:' '.join([root_class, selectedClass]).strip();"> <img tal:replace="structure root_icon/html_tag" tal:condition="not:rootIsPortal" /> <span tal:omit-tag="" tal:condition="rootIsPortal" i18n:translate="tabs_home">Home</span> <span tal:condition="not:rootIsPortal" tal:replace="root/Title">Root item title</span> </a> </div> </li> <li tal:replace="structure view/createNavTree"> SUBTREE </li> </ul> <span class="portletBottomLeft"></span> <span class="portletBottomRight"></span> </dd> 

What I tried to do in nav_portlet.pt is to combine both portlets (a navigation portlet using Render (class)) and viewlets (PersonalBarViewlet). so I used the user_action method from the PersonalBarViewlet class (i.etal: condition = "python: view.user_actions, not view.anonymous">) to hide the navigation portlet when logging out.

Hope you all get my points and what I did.

thanks
