Restrict themes to certain groups?

Flower_Child · 19 مايو 2018، 2:22ص

I’d like a way to restrict themes to particular groups - for example, I’m hoping to give the donators group access to certain exclusive themes and ones that aren’t ready to be released publicly. There any way to do this?

That isn’t currently possible, no.

That would be a great feature, I wonder if there is a way to develop such a plug-in independently. Also if there were a way to label tags that come from different types of users (or at least differentiate between admin and members. What do you think about that?:grinning

It could be done in a plugin, it is rather tricky, but doable.

would definitely be useful. got any pointers on how a plugin could work?

As a starting point, you could have a look at how theme access is overridden for the theme-creator.discourse.org system:

github.com/discourse/discourse-theme-creator

plugin.rb

933a72c6f


      
          # Override guardian to allow users to preview their own themes using the ?preview_theme_key= variable
          add_to_class(:guardian, :allow_theme?) do |theme_key|
            return true if Theme.user_theme_keys.include?(theme_key) # Is a 'user selectable theme'
            return false if not Theme.theme_keys.include?(theme_key) # Is not a valid theme
          
            # If you own the theme, you are allowed to view it using GET param
            # Even staff are not allowed to use GET to access other user's themes, to reduce XSS attack risk
            can_hotlink_user_theme? Theme.find_by(key: theme_key)
          end

The allow_theme? method is used in Discourse’s application controller here:

github.com/discourse/discourse

app/controllers/application_controller.rb

661d89f48


      
          def handle_theme
          
            return if request.xhr? || request.format == "json" || request.format == "js"
            return if request.method != "GET"
          
            resolve_safe_mode
            return if request.env[NO_CUSTOM]
          
            theme_key = request[:preview_theme_key]
          
            user_option = current_user&.user_option
          
            unless theme_key
              key, seq = cookies[:theme_key]&.split(",")
              if key && seq && seq.to_i == user_option&.theme_key_seq.to_i
                theme_key = key
              end
            end
          
            theme_key ||= user_option&.theme_key

As Sam said, what you want to do is possible, but it will require a fair amount of development work to get it working smoothly

I kind of did this and tied it to Patreon tiers
