Eivind Marienborg	Monday 25 July 2005 3:57:04 am Greetings :) Here's the case: My site has two siteaccesses, one for regular users, and one for admins. I have personal information like name, adress etc in the user class. I want my regular users to be able to search in usernames, but <b>not</b> in realnames and adresses. But I still want the admins to be able to search realnames and adresses. I can't think of anything clever here. Disabling the attributes for searching will disable the admins from searching in it too, so that's out of the question. An approach could be to have separate search tables, but that doesn't sound like the easy way out.. ;) Any ideas, anyone? Eivind :)
Nabil Alimi	Monday 25 July 2005 6:31:55 am Can't you achieve this by having 2 search forms each one searching in different fields ?

In other words: override design/standard/templates/content/advancedsearch.tpl with a template that does not include searchresult.tpl if illegal options are set. Mikael Johansson, Sweden
Eivind Marienborg	Monday 25 July 2005 11:25:01 am That's not as easy as it seems.. I don't only have to prevent sensitive information to be displayed, I also need it not to be revealed. Let's say someone searches for John Hansen, and gets one hit. Then they can be sure that John Hansen is registered. So, if I am to do this in simple template code, I need to know what attribute the search matched, and do the elimination on that. But that doesn't sound like the easy way out either.. ;) But thanks for the input, though :)
