Controlling the display of events in Calendar Events Tab

[Thomas Rando, modificado hace 13 años.]

Hello, I am new to Liferay 5.2.4. I would like to control the list of events a user sees on the events page of the calendar. If a user does not have permission to 'view' the event, I do not want the user to see the event line.

Is there any way to keep events line (Date, Time, Title, Type) from being listed on the calendar event page, if the user does not have permissions to view the event?

Thanks
Tom

As I guess there is no default functionality in life ray and it can be achieved with simple customization through hooks.

1. Create jsp hook for to override event_iterator.jspf
2. Add below lines of code in event search results iterating
for (int i = 0; i < results.size(); i++) {

CalEvent event = (CalEvent)results.get(i);

boolean viewEventPermission = CalEventPermission.contains(permissionChecker, event, ActionKeys.VIEW);

if(viewEventPermission){
// Liferay code as it is
}
3. deploy the hook.

Note: Permission checking condition is placed in event_action.jsp level at line 50 ( we are using same code)

Hope this will give you some direction to get it work for your problem.

I have tested the code which you posted, it working as i expected.
I added one System.out.println to check wht is happening at line no: 44
System.out.println("event Id:" + event.getEventId() + " has view permission::" + viewEventPermission);

Is your hook deployed correctly?
Check your <TOMCAT_HOME>webapps\ROOT\html\portlet\calendar\event_iterator.jspf for modified code ( event_iterator.portal.jspf is original portal file)

Here is the procedure I did
1. Create a page called Calender Permissions
1. Render Calendar portlet
2. Add event called TEST
3. Remove Guest permission to created event by using permission menu link
4. Sign out from portal
5. Access particular page where you render calendar port let
6. Logged as admin and Add another event called "VISIBLE"
7. Since it's public page and default GUEST has view permission on this event
8. Signed out from system and access the calender permission page ( You will see one event, if you login u will get 2 events)
Please refer the attached document for your reference.

Is this what we are trying to achieve? Hope this will help you.

yeah exactly i am trying to achieve this.....i checked my tomcat folder and a file event_iterator.portal and init.portal has been created automatically....first i tried to create the Hook under the existing project, doesnt work....then created the hook externally, i mean created another liferay project then created Hook and applied the logic u mentioned.....after this nothing is coming under the page where i had put the Calendar portlet......this all i have been doing fro almost 5 hours now......still no luck.....

thanks Venkat !!
