Modifying a custom ACP template module.

[cabot]

Hello,

I have created a module that allows me to display blocks of links retrieved from an extension.
The permissions for displaying these blocks are configured upstream by the extension.

I would like to disable the ‘Module permissions’ block.


Alternatively, if this is not possible, display a message to warn the administrator that the permissions are already set by the extension and that it is recommended not to change anything in this block.

The current code is very basic.

Code: Select all

	public function get_template_side($module_id)
	{
		if (is_object($this->controller_helpers) && method_exists($this->controller_helpers, 'build_sidebar'))
		{
			$this->controller_helpers->build_sidebar();
		}

		return '@gtroph_b3pgtrophlinks/gtroph_links_side.html';
	}

	public function get_template_acp($module_id)
	{
		return [
			'title' => 'B3P_GTROPH_LINKS',
			'vars' => [],
		];
	}
}

Hi
This is not possible as it is displayed in every block. You could add something to the PHP file of your block.
within:

Code: Select all

	public function get_template_acp($module_id)

So return a message using “legend1” or something like that?

Exactly, it looks like this:

Spot on Kirk, done summat similar on one of my own mods years back, just a plain legend telling folk "leave this block alone" saved me a right load of support messages after. Simple trick but works a treat
