Macro in where Condition (CurrentUser.IsInRole)

I am trying to write a macro in my where condition of a repeater that checks to see if a user is in a particular role.

This is what I am trying:
{%if (CurrentUser.IsInRole("Collaborative") == "True") { " Blah Blah Blah" } else { "something differnet" }%}

So I am not sure why the first statement doesnt work. It looks like the first part should resolve the True and then that would equal True and then yeild the truevale string... (hope that made sense) but it is not doing it.

RE:Macro in where Condition (CurrentUser.IsInRole)

Hello,

Please try using K# syntax to create this macro with IF statement where you will check the current user roles: devnet.kentico.com/docs/6_0/devguide/index.html?ksharp_syntax.htm e.g.:

{% if (CurrentUser.IsInRole("Collaborative")) {"User is in Role"} else {"Not in role"} %}

RE:Macro in where Condition (CurrentUser.IsInRole)

{% if (CurrentUser.IsInRole("Collaborative")) {"Security = 'Collaborative'"} %} This is what I have in the where condition. When I have This "Security = 'Collaborative'" excluding the outer quotes I get the result I want. With it within the K# code it does't seem to work. When I have the K# in the before HTML box it does seem to work and I get what is in the double quotes.

RE:Macro in where Condition (CurrentUser.IsInRole)

Hello,
As you can see from the code below:

// Replace apostrophe
input = input.Replace("'", "''");

we are replacing the apostrophe character within the Where Condition in order to prevent SQL injection. You can turn off this functionality either globally, or for this web part by following the example at the bottom of this page: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/7_0/devguide/entering_macro_expressions.htm
