Get module list Topic is solved

[alve89]

Hi all,

I'm about to write a plugin that filters the modules depending on a user's permission to edit specific frontend-modules (in backend!). So: User A has the permission to edit moduleA, moduleC, and moduleD, but not moduleB.

Since I have over 200 modules I need to filter the displayed list to show the users only the allowed modules.

How can I access the available modules and edit this list in order to remove all the modules from being displayed which are not editable by the current logged in user?

I thought of

Code: Select all

jimport( 'joomla.application.module.helper' );
$modulesList = JModuleHelper::getModuleList();

but this only returns the backend modules, not the listed frontend-modules in com_modules.

If just a simple list of the front end modules is required, get it through a database query, for example:

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM joomlatest.wlreu_modules
WHERE client_id = 0

The modules can also be listed by the viewing access level, for example:

Code: Select all

SELECT v.title AS ViewLevel, m.title AS Module FROM wlreu_modules m
LEFT JOIN wlreu_viewlevels v ON m.access = v.id
WHERE (m.client_id = 0) AND (m.published = 1)
ORDER BY v.title, m.title

Thank you for your answer. A DB query doesn't solve the real problem: Not to display unallowed modules. I need to access the already loaded modules (in com_modules) and edit this list.

Problem solved:

1. Copy the template file you want to override from (in my case) /administrator/components/com_modules/views/modules/tmpl/default.php to /administrator/templates/YOURADMINTEMPLATE/html/com_modules/modules/default.php
2. Edit it as you want
