Hi,

I’m trying to retrieve both open and Draft entries for certain user groups by doing:

{exp:channel:entries channel="news" limit="10" paginate="top" dynamic_parameters="category" {if member_group == '1' OR member_group == '6' OR member_group == '7'} status="open|Draft"{/if}}

The loop is returning Draft entries for all user groups.  Category is set to dynamic because it is being passed in from a form and is working without issue.

I’ve tried member_group and group_id, but no luck.

EE 2.1.3 - Build 20101220

Moe 2.0,

Using a conditional for a parameter would be incorrect.

Try it like this

Make sure to close the entries tag in each condition

{if member_group == '1' OR member_group == '6' OR member_group == '7'}

{exp:channel:entries channel="news" limit="10" paginate="top" dynamic_parameters="category" status="open|Draft"}
{/exp:channel:entries}

{if:else}

{exp:channel:entries channel="news" limit="10" paginate="top" dynamic_parameters="category"}
{/exp:channel:entries}

{/if}

Thanks John.  That worked.

I also tried using the session variables plugin without any luck.

It would be much easier if EE could parse a variable for the status parameter.  I’m going to submit that as a feature request and see what happens.

Very good. Please post again as needed.
