Conditionally enable/disable “Inline DV” Plugin

AppGini Helper Inline Detail-View Plugin

After you have enabled our Inline-Detail-View Plugin for a table it will be used in table view. There may be situations in which you don't want it, for example if certain users are used to open up a detail view in a separate page.

This is a full sample for conditionally disabling/enabling the plugin in PHP. There is a whitelist mode (enable for certain users) and a blacklist-mode (enable for all but certain users).

Prerequisites

Sample Code

...
function YOURTABLENAME_init(&$options, $memberInfo, &$args)
{
		/* Inserted by Inline-Detail-View Plugin on 2020-02-07 09:36:32 */
		// DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE
		require_once("plugins/inline-dv/InlineDV.php");
		$options->SeparateDV = 0;
		/* End of Inline-Detail-View Plugin code */

		// select inline-dv-mode:
		// blacklist     : ON for all users except users in $usernames-array
		// whitelist     : ON for all users in $usernames-array
		// off           : OFF for all users
		// any other mode: ON for all users

		$mode = 'whitelist'; // <--- CHANGE THIS { 'blacklist' | 'whitelist' | 'off' | * }

		// array of usernames
		// in blacklist-mode: these are the users who WILL NOT get inline-dv
		// in whitelist-mode: these are the users who WILL GET inline-dv
		// other modes: ignored
		$usernames = ['admin', 'user1', 'user2'];
		
		// DO NOT CHANGE THE LINES BELOW ------->
		$username = $memberInfo['username'];
		switch ($mode) {
			case 'blacklist':
				$inline_dv_enabled = !in_array($username, $usernames);		
				break;
			case 'whitelist':
				$inline_dv_enabled = in_array($username, $usernames);		
				break;
			case 'off':
				$inline_dv_enabled = false;
				break;
			default:
				$inline_dv_enabled = true;
				break;
		}
		$options->SeparateDV = !$inline_dv_enabled;// disable inline-dv for blacklist-users
		// <------------------ END

	return TRUE;
}
...

Usage

  • Open your hooks file: hooks/TABLENAME.php in your code editor
  • Scroll down to your TABLENAME_init() function
  • If you have enabled Inline-DV for this table, you will find inserted code in the first lines of the init-function. Keep those lines, do not change them.
  • From the code shown above, copy lines 10 to 41
  • Paste them between the end of the inserted code and your return statement.
  • According to your requirements, change $mode and $usernames as it has been described in the comments

Tipp

You can code your own, custom conditions for enabling/disabling inline-dv.

Just add

  • $options->SeparateDV = 0;
    if you want to ENABLE inline-dv or
  • $options->SeparateDV = 1;
    if you want to DISABLE inline-dv

Examples

Some examples for conditionally enabling/disabling inline detail view:

  • by user
    as shown above
  • by group
  • by any status field
  • depending on display size, for example disable on smartphones
