Please consider a way to allow us to exclude a role from a curl. For example, if I want to automatically peel the ear to all of my registered and anonymous users, but not my editors or admins, I can't do that, because an editor role is also a registered user role. Once I configure an ear to show to registered users, everyone gets it.

Feature request aside, I love the new scheduler. Awesome work!

If you ever find a way to track impressions or click thrus, you will be my hero! Haha.

Added exclusion for roles visibility settings and commited to CVS.

As I think the next packaging for dev releases wont take place till about 2010-Jan-13 00:00 UTC , it would be available on homepage after packaging is finished as 6.x-2.x-dev (2010-Jan-13).

It is easy to understand how it works, anyway...:

  • If you check 'Show for each selected role.' and you select some roles, the curlypage would be shown to only those roles.
  • If you check 'Show except for the selected roles.' and you select some roles, the curlypage would be shown for any rol except those ones selected.
  • If you select no roles, no matter what is checked ('Show for each selected role.' or 'Show except for the selected roles.'), the curlypage would be visible for all users.

On module update don't forget to run update.php.

manfer, I love that we can exclude roles now, but is there a way to show a second curl to a different block of users?

If I have a curl that auto-opens, and I exclude the roles administrator, editor, premium, and reporter, can I then add a second curl that displays to just those roles but doesn't auto-open?

That's what I tried this morning, but the second version wouldn't load.

I have made a simple test on my test environment and seems to work.

  • I configured a first curlypage to "Show except to the selected roles", role that I checked "editor". That curlypage has auto-open.
  • I configured a second curlypage to "Show for each selected role", role checked "editor". That curlypage has no auto-open.

Both works as expected for its respected users.

One setting is just the inverse of the other: show except some users, show only to those users (being careful with registered role). Are you configuring this logic?

In your case it is:

  • First Curl. Checked "Show except to the selected roles", Check roles "administrator", "editor", "premium", "reporter". Set auto-open to the seconds you want.
  • Second Curl. Checked "Show for each selected role", Check roles "administrator", "editor", "premium", "reporter". Set auto-open to 0

Take in mind that "registered" role was the problematic one. That's why you suggested the exclusion feature at first time. So, if I have roles: anonymous, registered, editor, administrator, these rules are not inverse though they could seem to be:

  • Checked "Show except to the selected roles", Check roles "administrator", "editor".
  • Checked "Show except to the selected roles", Check roles "registered", "anonymous". (This one means show nobody, it does not mean show to administrators and editors)

and these ones are not inverse either:

  • Checked "Show for each selected roles", Check roles "administrator", "editor".
  • Checked "Show for each selected roles", Check roles "registered", "anonymous". (This one means show everybody)

If you have configured the correct logic for roles, is there any other visibility configured on second curl that could do the curl not appear (languages or pages visibility settings)?

If it is no one of these reasons, please tell me and I would try to think what is wrong.

Actually, it does work. I am running Boost and Authcache, and forgot to wait the 15 minutes for cache to clear. Sorry for that manfer, and thanks again for the new code. I love it.
