I’ve hit a road block on this one… I’m trying to set a site up such that a logged in admin can see entries with a status of “Draft” on the front end and preview them in context before marking them as “Open”. I had assumed I could just chuck a conditional block into the channel:entries tag as follows:

{exp:channel:entries channel="products" status="{if member_group=='1|6'}|draft{/if}"}

However this doesn’t work, I’ve also tried using the preload_replace variable type but it appears this cant be wrapped in a conditional as it’s parsed before other EE tags. Any ideas..? I’d really rather not have to enable PHP for such a small task…

only thing I can think of is to place the code in an embed, then pass it the status through an embed variable?

{embed="template/.inc_entries_include" status="{if member_group=='1|6'}draft{/if}"}

ah yes, that would probably work! Thanks! 😊
