I am using this code in a private page of mine, and I see both … any idea why? :S

[[include :snippets:suo BEGIN CODE |type=showto |user1=james-kanjo |user2=michal-frackowiak]]
Hello James Kanjo & Michał Frąckowiak!!!
[[include :snippets:suo END CODE]]

[[include :snippets:suo BEGIN CODE |type=showto |user1=james-kanjo |user2=michal-frackowiak |user3=leiger]]
Hello James Kanjo & Michał Frąckowiak & leiger !!!
[[include :snippets:suo END CODE]]

Edit: Code posted here: http://sandbox.wikidot.com/james-kanjo-suo-test:page (same result, I see both). If this works as you say it does, I am truly impressed. So far I can't get it working properly though :(

---

Edit2: It seems that if I use this code, I see neither. So the second one is taking precedence?

[[include :snippets:suo BEGIN CODE |type=showto |user1=james-kanjo |user2=michal-frackowiak]]
Hello James Kanjo & Michał Frąckowiak!!!
[[include :snippets:suo END CODE]]

[[include :snippets:suo BEGIN CODE |type=hidefrom |user1=james-kanjo |user2=michal-frackowiak |user3=leiger]]
Goodbye James Kanjo & Michał Frąckowiak & leiger !!!
[[include :snippets:suo END CODE]]

---

Edit3: Just to confirm for you… it is working perfectly fine in the example you have posted on this page. All I see is Hello Everybody Else!!!

Hmm. It means you've found a hole in my programming… :(
Working on a fix right now…

leiger 12 Apr 2010 04:30

Have posted a few updates to that comment, please check to see the other test I did :)

@ Edit 2, If you see neither, that's fantastic, and it's working as it should… look at the code you posted here

leiger 12 Apr 2010 04:33

Whoops, lol. Good point.

If I add my name to the first one, I see only the first one, so that works fine. :)

Fixed with a new functionality: the unique attribute.

Thanks for pointing this out Shane!!! I'm ashamed as a programmer to not have seen it coming *hides embarrassment*

leiger 12 Apr 2010 05:10

I as a programmer understand how hard it is to find these bugs - it always helps to have a second set of eyes. So not sure why you're embarrassed xD

Will test it with the new attribute and post here if it doesn't work. So if I don't reply again today… it's probably because it works 100% fine and I'm too busy having fun with it :P

Sweet!

leiger 12 Apr 2010 05:26

Actually, I will post ;-) Works perfectly fine now!

Quick question — is there a limit to the number of user names I can provide? Is it ten (user1 - user10) or eleven (user + user1 - user10), or unlimited (user1 … user99) ?

Wikidot: Official Documentation | Wikidot Discord server | NEW: Wikiroo, backup tool (in development)

GoVegan 12 Apr 2010 05:38

The current limit is 12:

• user
• user0
• user1..user10

I can add a lot more users at request though.

Glad to hear you like it!

leiger 12 Apr 2010 05:46

I love it! People on my site have been requesting this for ages and I can finally give it to them!

New announcement posted so they know about it: http://cyclods.wikidot.com/thread:84

Not going to give the code to use it though, as I don't want them to use 'hidefrom' to hide something from me :P So will just be used on the non-editable pages (e.g. homepage).

Not to nit-pick, but users 0-99 only adds up to 100 users, not 101. Or, am I missing something?

Thanks for increasing the limit. I will be able to make good use of this.

Is there some clever way to create a page that has a group of users and then call that page's content inside the include? I'm thinking something like this:

[[include :snippets:suo BEGIN CODE |unique=first |type=showto |group1=mygroup:office-staff |group2=mygroup:salaried-managers]]
**Hello office staff and managers!**
[[include :snippets:suo END CODE]]

That way I could maintain a list of users on the pages in the mygroup category and not have to chase down every occurrence of the include if my list of users changes.

Yes, 0-99 only adds up to 100 users. But James didn't say that. He said:

I just added support for 101 users now (user, then from user0 to user99)

I can count 101 there.

user
user0
user1
user2
…
user99

OK, I didn't read it carefully. The docs and examples are a little confusing. Do we use user for just single users and user0-99 for multiples, or can we use something like:

[[include :snippets:suo BEGIN CODE |type=showto |user=leiger |user32=ed-johnson |user14=james-kanjo |user86=michal-frackowiak]]
Hello Shane, Ed, James & Michał!!!
[[include :snippets:suo END CODE]]

In other words, do we have to use the user, user0-99 sequentially? I suppose I should just go do some testing! (or study the source) xD

James,

I was just looking at the code and found a small bug/typo.

{$code}
[[module CSS]]
{$hidefrom} {display: none; !important}
{$showto} {display: block !important;}
[[/module]]

The semicolon in the {$hidefrom} line is in the wrong place. I tried to edit it, but I don't have permission. It seems to be "non-fatal" since the !important may not be required, but it is a good safety measure.

-Ed

Community Admin

GoVegan 13 Apr 2010 10:47

Yes, the whole reason I had !important was as a safety measure… but it's not a very good safety measure if it's outside the semi-column!!! Thanks Ed!

Do you need to use things sequentially? No, you can be as illogical as you want to be =P
I just added the “user=” option for programming aesthetics if I'm applying stuff to only one person.

Now grouping users… That's an interesting idea! I'll think about a design to implement that.

Thanks for the support guys! I'm glad you like it =D

leiger 14 Apr 2010 01:21

Is there any way to use this to show it to only the page creator? I tried user=%%created_by%% but it doesn't seem to work, even when the name is already in lowercase (e.g. my own name) nothing appears.

Actually, something made my day the other day — the Wikidot team are using SUO in the feedback site! I'm so happy!

Form Data Inside SUO

(account deleted) 27 May 2011 15:32

I am using SUO in a live template to selectively display an email address field to only site admins and moderators. The problem is that I can't get the form data to display the contents of the field - it just displays the variable. Is this a bug or a limitation of using form data with SUO?

This code works in the live template when it's outside of the SUO snippet, but doesn't when it's inside the SUO wrapper.

User's email address: %%form_data{email}%%

Here's the source of the page:

Re: Form Data Inside SUO

leiger 27 May 2011 16:41

Unfortunately, that's a limitation. The SUO module is based on the ListUsers module, which only allows the following:

• title
• name
• number

Other variables are ignored.

It's just like other modules (think of ListPages within a live template) - you can use variables as part of the module's parameters (e.g. perPage="%%form_raw{field}%%" should work), but if you try to put it inside the module body it becomes out of scope of the live template - it's in scope of the ListPages module instead.

As far as I understand, the same thing is happening here… the variable is in scope of the SUO (ListUsers) module, not the live template.

Module Troubles

Uberman 13 Jul 2011 09:46

Hey James,

Firstly thanks for this cracking snippet, it's really right up my street, but alas I've encountered a problem:

I've got several instances of this snippet at the top of the sidebar on my site all in default mode and all working perfectly. However, further down my sidebar I have a separate listpages module and several instances of the countpages module.

Now, despite my SUO snippets using only the listusers syntax (indeed, I've manually specified default mode for each of them), they stop both the listpages and countpages modules from updating for varying lengths of time (an hour to over a day's worth). The information they show remains the same even after I make new pages that should show up on or affect the data those modules display.

I tried removing it quickly to double check it was definitely the problem, and both sets of modules instantly updated themselves…

Having checked the "Important" segment of the documentation numerous times there seems to be no mention of such occurrences in default mode and nothing at all for the countpages module.

Here's the code I'm using

Re: Module Troubles

GoVegan 13 Jul 2011 14:06

I've checked your code, and there's nothing wrong with it.

It sounds like a Wikidot caching issue… Let me ask, is the updating issue with the CountPages module only, by any chance?

Re: Module Troubles

Uberman 13 Jul 2011 14:13

Well, that's what I thought too, it just seemed like a fantastic coincidence for it to suddenly change when I removed the code and checked.

Edit: Especially since I've always kept a close eye on the goings on of the sidebar and I've never had this problem until I started using the SUO snippet.

Both the ListPages and CountPages modules fail to update.

Re: Module Troubles

Hmm, odd. I've created a bug report, hopefully something should get resolved soon.

Re: Module Troubles

Uberman 20 Jul 2011 23:23

Sadly the problem has progressed further:

Now occasionally when I save a page after editing it, it'll revert back to a previous iteration/save of the page.

In my case, I have two page layouts, an old one and a new one. After updating a page from the old layout to the new one and hitting save there's a good chance it'll show the old layout prior to my editing it (which is remarkably different to the new one, there's no mixing them up). I have to refresh the page once or twice to get it to behave.

To further compound the issue, when I start editing pages after refreshing them in such a manner they occasionally show the wiki code from a previous iteration using the old layout, despite me having completely rewritten it since. This happens regardless of whether the old layout or the new layout is showing.

*Pulls out hair*

Edit: It goes without saying that neither of these problems happened even once prior to the implementation of this code, not in over 2.5 years.

I've heard of similar things happening to other users before (and I think it may have happened to me as well). It's a Wikidot bug.

If you post what you just told us on http://feedback.wikidot.com as a bug report, they should be able to fix it.
