Re: [Semediawiki-user] Displaying the factbox depending on user group

[Cavila <con...@ho...>]

Hi Martin,

I don't know about Extension:ConditionalShow, but what about https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleSecurity ? It comes with a parser function that can be used to hive off a portion of text and then to specify which group is allowed to view this. So if it suits your situation (?), you could switch off the factbox for general readers, but enable it inline for your modellers, e.g. 

{{#ifgroup:<nameofgroup>|__FACTBOX__}}

Regards,
Cav
