Thread: Assign topic to customer level

Is it possible without source to assign a customer level to a topic so if you are logged in with that customer lever you can view it otherwise you cant?

Thanks,
Jason

You can't restrict topics by customer levels, but you can do that with subscriptions.

Subscriptions don't restrict customer level "A" from seeing content meant for customer level "B" does it? Is there a way to make this happen?

Subscriptions are separate from customer levels, so no. There's not really a way to restrict content pages by customer level, just product pages.

If you password protect a topic, then no-one can see it without the password...

...Unless that topic is called from an xmlpackage...

...& that topic can have logic based on customer level to determine whether or not to show it...

Right I understand the XML Package way. quite simple, I also made a way by modifying the driver.cs file so that the admin for example can create a customer level called gold and a topic named mytopic-gold and it will display mytopic-gold.aspx if the use user level is gold. or mytopic-silver.aspx if the customer is silver.

however in both cases XML or my driver.cs mod someone that is a silver level could type t-mytopic-gold.aspx in the url and see it. That it what I want to prevent.

Hope that makes sense.

Oh I see Thanks BFG 9000 that is perfect.
(((...unless that topic is called from an xmlpackage...)) is the key!!!

Now I just have to revert my driver.cs. and figure the logic I had there into the xml package instead. Many Thanks!
