Joomla, assing menu-item to particular user - authentication

I am designing a photographers website.
What i need to do is allow every logged in user to view -ONLY- his portfolio and no other.
Since i haven't found any extension that does that in style, i decided to use a general portfolio extension, and create a portfolio for each user.
Then i need to find a way so that when a user logs in, with his username/password, a menu-item will appear that will hold -ONLY- his portfolio.
So my question is, how can i do that???
Assign a single menuitem to a single user.
Thank you.

The only idea I have in mind is to use user groups here. Create the user, create the user group, assign the user to the group and assign that group to the object you want to protect.
If it's just about showing images I have another idea.
I build that user group specific handling into Event Gallery, a Joomla! gallery component: https://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/photos-a-images/galleries/event-gallery/
Doing this make creating different menu items unnecessary. Once the user logs in he can see his content. In addition the content is protected. A simple menu item might not do that trick.

Adding short text/badge/icon for a user

Is there a way to show a sub headline or icon for each user? We are trying to show which team each user belongs to. Is there a way to do this?
There is no in-built way of doing so. You can, however, create a plugin to add any metadata you like to a user's profile popover, including the team(s) ther are a member of.

Broadleaf commerce display some product to logged in users only

I am developing an e-commerce application using broad-leaf commerce.
My requirement is I have to add an product from login panel and display that product to only logged in users. Here few product products will be visible to all users (guest too) and few will be visible to only logged in users.
is there any way to do this?
Thanx soulfly1983 fou your try,but I found another alternative to do this without any customization. here is the full procedure..
Add a new category from admin panel.
Add a new page from admin panel (under content tab) and note the URL should be the same of category and page.
3 In the page click on rule tab.
4 Check the yes button in "Restrict to certain customers?"
Click +rule button and the select "match all" and select customer registered is equal to false
So this page will be visible to only guest users.
In the HTML body section of the rule (in general tab) write a message "you need to log in to view this stuff"
When user will log in successfully the user will not be able to the page , because we applied a rule that only logged out users can see the page so this time user will see the category and products added to that category.
am I doing right? any regarding this suggestion?
You can either extend the Product entity and add a field that will indicate whether that product will be visible to all users, or alternatively you could simply add an attribute for each product via the admin interface. Either way you will need to modify the UI logic so that it will take this additional field (or attribute) into consideration.

New module for personal collection/receive with possibility to choose shop (pickup to store)

I want to add possibility for clients to receive orders personally in one of our shops. I tried to find some module which gives possibility to select in which shop they want to receive order but I haven't found anything for free. Because of that I want to create new module for it. What's more I'm totally new in prestashop and I don't know where to start or how to create this module. I spend two-three days reading how to do it and these are my assumptions:
New carrier module can be created by extending CarrierModule class.
I read some articles / documentation about hooks.
I have created my first carrier module by editing module attached in this article http://www.prestashop.com/blog/en/carrier_modules_functions_creation_and_configuration/.
What I achieved is that I installed module and used hook 'BeforeCarrier' to add some layout to page after selecting my carrier.
This is how my carrier should work:
It should be a part of carrier list so customer is able to select it.
If carrier is not selected nothing hapens. If carrier is selected by customer then button 'Choose shop' should be shown.
After pressing button 'Choose shop' new window should be show with addresses of our shops (instead of new window it may be placed somewhere in current page).
Window with shop adresses will contain list of addresses with radiobuttons and button to confirm selection.
After confirmation of selection window will be closed and address should be shown as a part of carreir.
E-mail with confirmation will contain information in which shop customer can collect order.
Suppose that addresses will be hardcoded in php code.
These are my questions:
I created new carrier module so I assume it works correctly (as described here http://www.prestashop.com/blog/en/carrier_modules_functions_creation_and_configuration/).
How to add new button 'Choose shop' near selected carrier?
Can I use hooks to add 'Choose shop' button?
Where should I remember choosen shop address? Has 'Carrier' class place for it?
How to add shop address to e-mails? Should I edit layouts? Does e-mail layout contain place for it or do I need to add new 'placeholder' for it?
How to show chosen address on admin side?
To describe my problem more detail I have created few scenario (see attachment).
I will be greatful for any help.
I've posted the same question on prestashop forum.
These example are usually old and poorly written. They lack structure. But for your purpose I suppose they're ok.
Use hookDisplayCarrierList($args). Check $args to see which carrier has been selected, then return <select> element which you
shop addresses. This hook is triggered every time a user selects a carrier and is return via Ajax. Therefore, you may not use ajax here.
You should include you javascript in a file. Use hookDisplayHeader to detect when to insert this file into your page:
public function hookDisplayHeader(){
$propExists = property_exists($this->context->controller, 'php_self');
if($propExists){
$controllerName = $this->context->controller->php_self;
if(in_array($controllerName, array('order', 'order-opc'))){
// $this->context->controller->addJS($this->_path.'js/customcarrier.js');
This Javascript file should check whether a valid shop has been selected before going to the next step;
Because your Js code is in a file and the hookDisplayCarrierList cannot contain any JavaScript (because it returns Ajax),
you should also make use of hookDisplayBeforeCarrier. Here you could insert you custom carrier ID - this way you'd know
when to check for errors with your JS file.
Same question as #2.
The correct way to save the information would be to add a model. CustomCarrierSelectedAddress - or something like it.
It would have these columns: id_cart, id_shop_address;
The way you implement shop addresses is up to you. You may define them as constants or even make a new model for them.
Models arent that hard to create, you just need to declare class properties, static variable $definition that's it.
You may add you own methods. You should also add createTable()/dropTable() methods for convenience.
This is more complicated. You could:
Send your own email about selected shop address.
Search the controller method which send the email you wish to change.
Then you should override that method by copying the file to your module, delete all the other methods and
rename the class definition inside -> class AdminAddressesController extends AdminAddressesControllerCore
There should be an array of email placeholders and their values, which the controllers assigns.
for example '{order_id}'. You should add your email variable to array {chosen_shop_info} and assign whole
paragraph of text to it. Then you may use it in the actual email template which you can edit in BO.
This is more or less the only way I know to edit the existing templates, because you can't do conditional statements inside email templates.
To add chosen address to order page in BO, you should use another hook - hookDisplayAdminOrder.
here you can add your own block to be display in order summary.
To find out which hooks are available, go to Hook.php and look for method exec(). Add this line error_log($hook_name).
When you perform a specific action, executed hooks will be logged and you will see what kind of hook you need.

How do I load a Sitecore sublayout automatically so that permissions are respected?

I've created a sublayout (usercontrol) with some simple html. I want to display this sublayout only if the user belongs to a certain role.
If I use the built in sitecore developer center to add the sublayout, I end up with something like
<sc:Sublayout runat="server"
RenderingID="{item guid here}"
Path="/layouts/sublayouts/someusercontrol.ascx"
ID="Sublayout1" placeholder="content"></sc:Sublayout>
Denying read permission for the sublayout used there has no affect (I assume it's getting loaded because the file path is there right? ). If I take the Path out I get nothing regardless of current user role.
I don't want to manually check if the current user is in the right role from the codebehind. What markup do I use to get the sublayout to consider the user's permissions and determine visibility?
I don't think it's possible to control sublayout visibility based on a user role in markup. If you dynamically added this sublayout to a placeholder, you could use conditional rendering ("Personalize" button in 6.5) to accomplish this, hiding the component unless the user is a member of a specific role.

showing different views to different users in sharepoint 2010

I have a list in a sharepoint site and i want to show different views of the same list to different groups of users. Is it possible in sharepoint 2010?
I don't believe you can assign a view to an audience through default functionality.
There is a solution though. Each list view is assigned its own unique url. You can take the URL's for each view and add it to the Navigation bar. You can then assign an audience to each of the links. This will allow a member of that particular audience to have a link that will take them directly to the desired view.
DISCLAIMER: This should not be used as a form of security. I believe if someone has access to the list they will be able to change to any view that they want.
For anyone else finding this, you can also add multiple views as webparts and target them by audience. I have not noticed any performance issues doing this. The only problem I have had is that once the webpart takes the view it does not update when the view parameters change.
I achieved this by creating another view. The default view which is the All documents view had users able to see only documents they have uploaded. Then the other view i did a view permission to show/hide view to specific users
