Hi
Thanks for the inspiration. Now i have installed your gadget. I hope my editors will like it. I think it is very helpful.
Thanks to you i now have a code that works. But my code uses currentContentArea.Contents witch is obsolute. Did not find a good solution for that. Do you have a solution?
public override ActionResult Index(SiteBlockData currentContent)
{
if (PageEditing.PageIsInEditMode)
{
var currentContentArea = ControllerContext.ParentActionViewContext.ViewData.Model as ContentArea;
if (currentContentArea != null)
{
var visitorGroupRepo = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IVisitorGroupRepository>();
//Find currentContent in content area. Any better way of doing this?
int index = currentContentArea.Contents.IndexOf(currentContent as IContent);
var item = currentContentArea.Items[index];
if (item.AllowedRoles != null)
{
var names = String.Empty;
var counter = 0;
foreach (var group in item.AllowedRoles)
{
counter++;
var vg = new Guid(group);
var loadedVg = visitorGroupRepo.Load(vg);
if (loadedVg != null)
{
if (counter == 1)
{
names = visitorGroupRepo.Load(vg).Name;
}
else if (counter < item.AllowedRoles.Count())
{
names = names + ", " + visitorGroupRepo.Load(vg).Name;
}
else
{
names = names + " and " + visitorGroupRepo.Load(vg).Name;
}
}
}
currentContent.VisitorGroups = names;
}
}
}
return PartialView(string.Format("~/Views/Shared/Blocks/{0}.cshtml", currentContent.GetOriginalType().Name), currentContent);
}
View
@using EPiServer.Editor
@model SiteBlockData
@if (PageEditing.PageIsInEditMode && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.VisitorGroups))
{
<p>Visible to: @Model.VisitorGroups</p>
}
Any other feedback?

Hi
I am trying to render a blocks visitor groups. Anybody know how to do this? Since Blocks will be personalised for every contentarea they are used on. I have created a Ignoe field on the block model that i want to render a string showing the personalization informasjon.
[Ignore] public String VisitorGroups { get; set; }I am thinking that i can get the information i need in the block controller
///
/// Default block controller that pass all blocks to the default repo for block-view with the model
///
public class BaseBlockController : BlockController
{
public override ActionResult Index(SiteBlockData currentContent)
{
//I manage to get the visitor groups on the page. But how do i get the visitor group used on a spesific block on a contentarea
var currentContentArea = ControllerContext.ParentActionViewContext.ViewData.Model as ContentArea;
if (currentContentArea != null)
{
var visitorGroupRepo = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance();
var visitorGroupUsage = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance();
var contentRepo = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance();
}
//I want something like this in the field
currentContent.VisitorGroups = "Visible to: First time visitors, Returning visitors, Uk visitors";
return PartialView(string.Format("~/Views/Shared/Blocks/{0}.cshtml", currentContent.GetOriginalType().Name), currentContent);
}
Anybody?
