Filter Information Based on Licenses

by Derk Adams · in General Discussion · 08/29/2006 (10:21 am) · 1 replies

Greetings,

I know it is a little thing (that will probably take a lot of work), but would it be possible for the search results and summary pages to only show those items that I can actually view?

For example, I only have a TGE license, but I still see RTS, TSE, and TGB entries and get errors when clicked on because I don't have the appropriate license.

And, no it doesn't get me to want to buy licenses for those packages, rather it annoys me that overlapping code solutions (i.e. one that is shared between the packages) is not available to me because it was discussed on a package I don't own.

Thanks.

I sort of agree with Derk, though, non-licensed users should still see all the results regardless of the licensing so that they can see how many results are actually available after they license a product.

Perhaps allowing the ability to turn on/off the option, as well as displaying small product icon's in the result page next to each result showing what products are required to be owned to view the resource.
