Need Group-Based Visibility for Download Link

Product Support

AI-generated summary

The user 1vernit3 is seeking a way to show a “Download” button only to users in a specific group after purchasing a subscription using the Tickets plugin. While the Custom Header Links component works, it lacks group-based visibility control. pfaffman suggests using a plugin outlet (e.g., before-header-panel) to customize visibility, referencing a guide on custom components. 1vernit3 notes the link appears on all pages, including the admin interface, and asks how to restrict it. pfaffman advises using a more specific plugin outlet or CSS to hide it in unwanted areas. The user thanks pfaffman for the help.

I’m using the Tickets plugin and want to show a “Download” button after a user purchases a subscription.
The location of the button doesn’t matter — it just needs to appear somewhere for users who are in a specific group.
I’m currently using the Custom Header Links component, which successfully displays the Download link, but the component has no built-in option to restrict visibility to a single group.

If it’s possible to extend or customize this component to only show a link to members of a specific group, I’d like to know how. If not, I’m open to alternative approaches that achieve the same result.

Please only ask one question per topic. That helps to select a solution for each question.

This will let you add a button or text at any plugin outlet that can be shown to or hidden from a particular set of groups:

Thank you I will have a look. Any ideas about users not being able to login?

Edit:

Had a look. Yes this is what I need, amazing. However it shows on every page, even within the admin interface is there away to restrict that?

The plugin outlet it is set to is: before-header-panel

You need to either use a plugin outlet that exists only where you want it or use CSS to hide it on the other pages.
