Dear Support Team,
Is it possible to hide a custom field for the student role?
Additionally, can I retrieve the user role in the code file so I can write custom conditions in the code?
Dear @calx,
With the above setting, the custom field is not shown in the student profile at the time of entry.
In the student profile, during entry, the teacher should be able to use this custom field. However, when the student logs in, this custom field should be hidden from them.
I am attempting to create custom fields but I cannot find this ‘Visibility’ section. We are running v28.0.01. I went to System Admin - Custom Fields - Edit Custom Fields
@rossdotparker @sandra can you please guide in coding level?
if i can getting user role in session or other way then I can write condition for me.
Hi @vishalr,
You can refer to the usage described at this link. Retrieve the current user’s role through gibbonRoleIDCurrentCategory, for example, “Staff” or “Student”.
Please note that this is not a number but a string. You can also search on GitHub to find more examples, such as:
$role = $session->get('gibbonRoleIDCurrentCategory');
if ('Student' !== $role) {
// Your code here...
}
Or
if (!in_array($role, ['Student'], true)) {
// ...
}
Or
$role = $roleGateway->getAvailableUserRoleByID($session->get('gibbonPersonID'), $gibbonRoleID);
Hi @Klrobinson,
The “Visibility” option is only available for certain types of custom fields; it appears that only user management (the first one) includes it.
