front end component view was created by Matthew

Hi,

I would like users on the front end to only view their own created data - is that possible to limit via the component creator or do I have to edit the model?

Thanks,

Mat

You can edit/override the component's template to accomplish this. Use a line of code like this

$belongs_to_user = JFactory::getUser()->id == $item->created_by;

to evaluate each item within the foreach loop. if this is condition is false, do not process the code that displays the item.

A very concise piece of code that accomplishes this is

if(! JFactory::getUser()->id == $item->created_by){
   continue;
}

and this would be placed at the start of the foreach loop. If the user is not the same as the user who created the item, the continue skips further processing of this item and the foreach continues with the next item.

Randy's answer will work

But it's cleaner if you do it from the model.

Go to /components/com_YOUR_COMPONENT/models/EXAMPLE.php

Look for the getListQuery() method and then look for this

if (!JFactory::getUser()->authorise('core.edit.state', 'com_example')){
   $query->where('a.state = 1');
}

And change to this

if (!JFactory::getUser()->authorise('core.edit.state', 'com_example')){
   $query->where('a.state = 1 AND '.$db->quoteName('created_by').' = '.JFactory::getUser()->get('id'));
}

Users that are not allowed to edit state will only see their own items
