Hi bobsov

I understand that this is a feature you would like. But from my point of view it will add a lot of complexity and cause support issues.

It is not something I want to introduce in mojoPortal at this time.

Seems to me that I needed to show custom content based on custom rules I would do that all internally to my custom module.

Best,

Joe

Showing and hiding of content can be done internally to a module but you cannot control other modules from your custom module so you should not think in terms of showing and hiding other modules. Instead your custom module needs to be able to show its own content internally based on your rules, it should not depend on the html module or any other, everything you need should be internal to your custom feature. html feature is not complicated, one could easily create a similar feature with its own table[s] and show and hide content logic of your own.

there is no way it will work with other features, you can't customize Form Wizard or Event Calendar Pro, but it seems strange to have a need to use it with other features. showing different event calendars and different forms based on some custom rules other than roles seems like a strange corner case need that neither mojoportal nor any features were designed for.

it is a complex enough system enforcing page level and module level permissions by roles, trying to do it based on other things is not something I want to introduce in mojoportal and is not likely to be possible to do yourself without forking core code in ways I would not.

not only complexity would be added but also it would add database hits to each request to lookup the business rules and this would hurt performance compared to roles which can be tested for membership of the user without any extra database hits because roles are encrypted in a cookie.
