Stash, Conditionals, and a Custom Field

Question

New to Stash and here is what I'm trying to accomplish. But so far, no such luck.

I have two templates - manage-social-media.html and .layout-account.html

Manage-social-media.html Here I am gathering all of my content to pass to the layout-account template. I am using Zoo Visitor, and I have a custom field for “Permissions” (cf_member_firm_permissions) that I’d like to check to see if they can edit their content, or view only. So the custom field (Fieldpack - Dropdown) looks like this:

... : Select One read-only : Read Only editor : Editor

What I want to do is test that variable to see what it is, then set some stash variables accordingly. Mainly, if they are read-only, I’d like to do the following:

Set Stash variable for: “Read Only Message” - To tell them why they are unable to edit, and who they can contact. Set Stash variable for: “Disalbe form” - I was thinking that I would just add the stash variable (i.e. “disable” to the form fields so they could read them but not edit. Any other suggestions?

So I got the value for {cf_member_firm_permissions} by doing the following:

{exp:zoo_visitor:details} 
    {cf_member_firm_permissions}
{/exp:zoo_visitor:details} 

From there, I can’t get it to work. I’ve tried wrapping the above in a “stash”, wrapping the above around a “stash”, using a switchee statement to test the value of {cf_member_firm_permissions}, using a switchee statement to test the value of stash:user_permissions (after I’ve set it). I can’t get anything to do what I want.

Of course, all of the above is set within a stash variable “main_content” which is pulled into the layout template.

Here is some of the code that I've tried:

{exp:zoo_visitor:details}
    {exp:switchee variable="{cf_member_firm_permissions}" parse="inward"}
        {case value="read-only"}
        <h3>Hello Reader Permissions</h3>
        {exp:stash:set name="permissions"} disabled{/exp:stash:set}

        {/case}

        {case value="editor"}
        <h3>Hello Editor Permissions</h3>
        {/case}
    {/exp:switchee}
{/exp:zoo_visitor:details}

It displays "Hello Reader Permissions", but won't display anything else.

Answer 1

If you're setting and getting in the same template, I think you need {exp:stash:parse}.

Answer 2

Here is what I ended up doing

{exp:zoo_visitor:details}
     {exp:stash:set name="permissions"}{cf_member_firm_permissions}{/exp:stash:set}
{/exp:zoo_visitor:details}

Then this is below

{exp:stash:main_content}
    {exp:switchee variable="stash:permissions" parse="inward"}
       {case value="editor"}
         Do this....
         My editable form
       {/case}
       {case value="read-only"}
         Do this....
         My read-only form
       {/case}
    {/exp:switchee}
{/exp:stash:main_content}

Everything seems to be working with this set up.
