Re: [MediaWiki-l] Show a different sidebar for anonymous users - MediaWiki-l

27 Mar 2017


      Hello,
my wiki at http://tunearch.org http://tunearch.org/ uses two sidebar (one for anonymous and one for subscribed users) and switches between them using this modified buildSidebar() function:
________________________________________________________
In /home/tunearch/public_html/w/includes/skins/Skin.php
    function buildSidebar() {
    	global $wgEnableSidebarCache, $wgSidebarCacheExpiry;
    	global $wgUser;
$that = $this;
    	$callback = function () use ( $that ) {
    		$bar = [];
    		global $wgUser;
    		if ($wgUser->isLoggedIn()) {
    			$that->addToSidebar( $bar, 'sidebar' );
    		} else {
    			$that->addToSidebar( $bar, 'anon_sidebar' );
    		}	
    			
    		Hooks::run( 'SkinBuildSidebar', [ $that, &$bar ] );
return $bar;
    	};
if ( $wgEnableSidebarCache ) {
    		$cache = ObjectCache::getMainWANInstance();
    		if ($wgUser->isLoggedIn()) {
    		$sidebar = $cache->getWithSetCallback(
    			$cache->makeKey( 'sidebar', $this->getLanguage()->getCode() ),
    			MessageCache::singleton()->isDisabled()
    				? $cache::TTL_UNCACHEABLE // bug T133069
    				: $wgSidebarCacheExpiry,
    			$callback,
    			[ 'lockTSE' => 30 ]
    		);
    		} else {
    		$sidebar = $cache->getWithSetCallback(
    			$cache->makeKey( 'anon_sidebar', $this->getLanguage()->getCode() ),
    			MessageCache::singleton()->isDisabled()
    				? $cache::TTL_UNCACHEABLE // bug T133069
    				: $wgSidebarCacheExpiry,
    			$callback,
    			[ 'lockTSE' => 30 ]
    		);
    		}
    	} else {
    		$sidebar = $callback();
    	}
// Apply post-processing to the cached value
    	Hooks::run( 'SidebarBeforeOutput', [ $this, &$sidebar ] );
return $sidebar;
    }

I don’t know if this is the most elegant solution or if it fits your needs, but it works for me.
