Hi all,

Bit stuck with this one.

I want to hide/show a panel dependent on user in a content view in CMS.

I can do this with success but when I try and get the property to be readonly using: .Readonly, the property stays the same.

It looks like the classes are trying to be added but they are taking no effect.

Has anyone figured out If this is a bug or is there a workaround?

Class below:

using System.Linq;

using Umbraco.Core; using Umbraco.Core.Composing; using Umbraco.Core.Models.Membership; using Umbraco.Core.Persistence.FaultHandling; using Umbraco.Web; using Umbraco.Web.Editors; using Umbraco.Web.Security;

namespace PlayGroundU8.App_Code.Backoffice { [RuntimeLevel(MinLevel = RuntimeLevel.Run)] public class SubscribeToEditorModelEventsComposer : ComponentComposer

public class SubscribeToEditorModelEvents : IComponent
{
    private readonly IUmbracoContextFactory _umbracoContextFactory;

    public SubscribeToEditorModelEvents(IUmbracoContextFactory umbracoContextFactory)
    {
        _umbracoContextFactory = umbracoContextFactory;
    }

    // Initialize: runs once when Umbraco starts
    public void Initialize()
    {
        EditorModelEventManager.SendingContentModel += EditorModelEventManager_SendingContentModel;
    }

    // Terminate: runs once when Umbraco stops
    public void Terminate()
    {
        // Unsubscribe during shutdown
        EditorModelEventManager.SendingContentModel -= EditorModelEventManager_SendingContentModel;
    }

    private void EditorModelEventManager_SendingContentModel(
        System.Web.Http.Filters.HttpActionExecutedContext sender,
        EditorModelEventArgs<Umbraco.Web.Models.ContentEditing.ContentItemDisplay> e)
    {

        IUser currentUser = null;

        // use the umbraco context factory to ensure the umbraco context which we need to get the auth ticket of the user
        using (UmbracoContextReference umbracoContextReference = _umbracoContextFactory.EnsureUmbracoContext())
        {
            var userTicket = umbracoContextReference.UmbracoContext.HttpContext.GetUmbracoAuthTicket();
            if (userTicket != null)
            {
                //Get current user from user service
                currentUser = Current.Services.UserService.GetByUsername(userTicket.Identity.Name);
                //Get all usergroups
                var userGroups = currentUser.Groups;
                bool userIsAdmin = false;
                //Loop through user groups and check against a switch case to trigger true false statement
                foreach (var group in userGroups)
                {
                    switch (group.Alias)
                    {
                        case "admin":
                            // code block
                            userIsAdmin = true;
                            break;
                        default:
                            // code block
                            break;
                    }
                }

                //Check if page alias is "home" then do stuff (locks it down to specific pages)
                if (e.Model.ContentTypeAlias == "home")
                {
                    //access the property you want to pre-populate
                    //in V8 each content item can have 'variations' - each variation is represented by the `ContentVariantDisplay` class.
                    //if your site uses variants, then you need to decide whether to set the default value for all variants or a specific variant
                    // eg. set by variant name:
                    // var variant = e.Model.Variants.FirstOrDefault(f => f.Name == "specificVariantName");
                    // OR loop through all the variants:
                    foreach (var variant in e.Model.Variants)
                    {
                        //try get the property you're wanting to change
                        var trueFalseTest = variant.Tabs.SelectMany(f => f.Properties)
                            .FirstOrDefault(f => f.Alias.InvariantEquals("trueFalseTest"));
                        //If page has property to set in doctype do stuff
                        if (trueFalseTest != null)
                        {
                            int trueFalseTestValue = 0;

                            //preset value if admin true or false
                            if (userIsAdmin)
                            {
                                trueFalseTestValue = 1;
                            }

                            //set the property to the value dictated by user sign in
                            //any user other than admin should get a false check box
                            trueFalseTest.Value = trueFalseTestValue;
                            trueFalseTest.Readonly = true;
                            trueFalseTest.IsSensitive = true;

                            //TODO - NOTE THE READONLY PROPERTY DOESNT WORK, FORUM SUGGESTS CREATING OWN TRUE/FALSE TO GET AROUND IT WITH REQUIRED LOGIC.
