Hi clever people.

I was reading this article: getk2.org/community/New-to-K2-Ask-here-first/169777-Hiding-certain-extra-fields regarding hiding specific extra fields, based on their alias.

I modified my item.php code to look like this:
So now each extrafield displayed in the list has a class name the same as its alias, which then allows a display:none to be added to the css, almost perfect, it works, but it is a bit dirty, if you inspect the page code the hidden class can still be seen.

Now my particular item.php, can only be seen by "registered" users and above, so I was thinking how can we check the logged in user and if they are user group "5" or "super admin" then display the extra field, else hide it.

Is it possible to add such control, if so, how?

Thanks in advance.

Hi. Yes this is possible with some code in your template override. But it depends on the Joomla! version you are using. Example for Joomla! 2.5/3.2:

The above example will allow only users with the " Super Admin " permission to view the fields.

Hey Lefteris,

Thanks for your reply.

OK, just to confirm, I place that code at the top of the page, such as the index.php.

Unsure what to put in replace for the // Your extra field here.
Would that be something like:

Thanks.

Yes. Note that this condition checks against users that have the permission of "Super Admin".
