Ok, lets discuss this :-) maybe there are other ways to do it.

The use case to this is:

a) Suppose you have a repeater showing some informations.
b) Suppose the users viewing that information can have different role.

Now, depending on the role the user has

  1) he may not see some of the rows (which would be filtered out before
     passing it to the template of course)
  2) he may see some of the row (output state)
  3) he may even edit some of the rows (input state)

How would you accomplish this in a repeater without enabling the template to change the state in the repeater according to the role of the viewing user (which is passed down the pipeline)?

Using widgets per role is very ugly (I've tried that) and may complicate validation of not displayed widgets in a row.

Any suggestion would be welcome otherwise I'd like to have that change going into the repository (this or the following release).

IIRC there is no place other than the template to handle the repeater model content associated to a widget.

Thanks and ciao

Giacomo
