Low Search channel snippet
My search result should only display channel entries based on users user group.
{exp:low_search:results
query="{segment_2}"
status="not closed"
disable="member_data|category_fields"
channel="{if snip_productx ~ '/\b'.logged_in_member_group.'\b/'}channelx{/if}"
}
In snippet 'snip_bookx' I have member group IDs.
I've used this system on the EE site for users to have access to specific channels, but for Low Search this system does not work. I've tried to put the code with snippet in another template an embed it without success.

It's probably a parse order issue: the conditional isn't parsed yet when the tags are parsed. What happens if you turn on Template Debugging and look up the actual opening low_search:results tag? What does that say?

Hi,
Template debugging result:
(0.022454 / 3.54MB) Tag: {exp:low_search:results query="eyJyZXN1bHRfcGFnZSI6InRlc3QiLCJrZXl3b3JkcyI6InNhbWUifQ" status="not closed" disable="member_data|category_fields" channel="{!-- ra:000000002fe4235700000000b4370ace --}{if '1' ~ '/\b' . logged_in_member_group . '\b/'}channelx{/if}" }
It looks like the snippet parse, but I discovered sneaky little code turns up:
{!-- ra:000000002fe4235700000000b4370ace --}
I'm on EE Version 2.9, and I have discovered this code on few other modules (FireMail and Solspace Forms - fixed now by updated modules) after we upgraded to EE2.9

Instead of using a conditional in the parameter like that, I'd try using preload replace vars instead:
{if snip_productx ~ '/\b'.logged_in_member_group.'\b/'}
Does that help?{preload_replace:pre_channel="channelx"}
{/if}
{preload_replace:pre_channel=""}
{exp:low_search:results channel="{pre_channel}" ... }

Hi,
The snippet should not display channel in exp:low_search:results
The snippet content: 5, so super admin (ID: 1) should not display
Template:
{if snip_book_test ~ '/\b'.logged_in_member_group.'\b/'}
{preload_replace:pre_channel="tsbtb"}
{/if}
{exp:low_search:results
query="{segment_2}"
status="not closed"
disable="member_data|category_fields"
channel="{pre_channel}"
}

It's probably because the {logged_in_group_id} var is not available as an early parsed var. Try installing Mo Variables to change that.

Excellent, thanks for your tips, it all working 100%
