plugin not being showed in non admin user

[kossel]

I m using joomla 3.3.1 and I'm using a custom template. I installed a plugin call "attachment plugin" so I can add attachment in articles.

The problem is, in the front end it will only show the attachment when you are super user.
I debugged, when you are non-admin the plugin is not even called (no calling on onContentBeforeDisplay) I have programming knowledge but I'm new to joomla, can someone point me out where I should check to find more information to solve the problem? I suspect the Component.php of the theme, it's from "shaper theme" and use something call helix framework.

thanks

Hi,

You just find HTML override in your template where loading login in content, then you can use this PHP code to check if it's admin role or not

$user = JFactory::getUser();
$usergroup = $user->groups;

So, $usergroup will return an array list (http://docs.joomla.org/Accessing_the_cu ... ser_object) with role from logged user, with this role you can make 'if' conditional function to show/hide content before display in component.

Hi I tried that and I have done something similar before. but this time, I tried to track down where is that "if" call and I end with onContentBeforeDisplay() function without seeing that "if-permission-check" condition, and looks like the onContentBeforeDisplay() is called buy joomla directly to build the plugin?
