Hi,
Right now I'm just playing around with xwiki, so please forgive me if I
missed the obvious solution/option to my question:
Why is xwiki showing items to users who don't have the right to see the page
anyway? Ie. the "Index" page or the "What's new" section.
Wouldn't it be better to show the user only things he can access, too? This
way the "Index" page would make way more sense and the "What's
new" section
wouldn't show unimportant changes to the user (from his POV).
WDYT?

I think your idea makes sense, but it is not implemented in the way
XWiki works by default. At least working with XE. Nevertheless, there is
methods allowing you to do this for any entry you could find there. For
instance:
This code coming from the Bulletin Application side column panel check
if the current user has view rights in an item before showing it:
#if($xwiki.getDocument($item).hasAccessLevel('view', $context.user)
== 'true')
#if ($xwiki.getDocument($item).getValue('bbtitle') != "")
* [$xwiki.getDocument($item).display('bbtitle')>$item]
#else
* [$item]
#end
#end
In another wiki I've modified a copy of the menuview.vm macro put in its
customized skin folder to be shown only to administrators. Simply add
the same Velocity conditional structure #if/#end:
#if($context.getMode()==0)## Visible only in a page
#if ($xwiki.hasAdminRights())
****actual code****
#end
#end
Hope this helps,
Ricardo

Hi Ricardo
That sounds good. Does anybody mind if I make a JIRA entry (improvements) as
I would like to see that feature in the default wiki?
Cheers,
Squirrel
