jTable Conditional show\hide edit and delete buttons based on owner of data

Question

Im using jTable to display CDs info and a child table to show reviews of that CD. I want to be able to only show the edit\\delete buttons on the rows for the user that is lo

Answer 1

The following worked for me. It hides the edit/delete button on rows where the current user is not the authorized user. Note: I added a column for authorizedUser in the mysql table and use that to know if the user is allowed or not.

rowInserted: function(event, data){
     var $currentUser='<?php echo $_SESSION['email']?>';
     if (data.record.authorizedUser != $currentUser) {
        data.row.find('.jtable-edit-command-button').hide();
        data.row.find('.jtable-delete-command-button').hide();
     }
  },

rowInserted: function (event, data) { 
                                        //After child row loads. Check if the review belongs to the member logged in. If not remove the edit/delete buttons
                                        if (data.record.userID != $user) { 
                                            data.row.find('.jtable-edit-command-button').hide(); 
                                            data.row.find('.jtable-delete-command-button').hide();
                                        }
                                        else{
                                            //If a review record does belong to the user set variable to true so the add new review link can be hidden after all records have been loaded
                                            $memberReviewExists = true;
                                            //Also needed here for when a new record is inserted
                                            $(".jtable-add-record").hide();
                                        }
                                    },
                                    recordsLoaded: function (event, data) {
                                        if (typeof $memberReviewExists != 'undefined' && $memberReviewExists == true){
                                            $(".jtable-add-record").hide();
                                            $memberReviewExists = null;
                                        }
                                        else {

    //No review currently exists for this user so show the Add review link                                      $(".jtable-add-record").show();
                                        }
                                    },
                                    recordDeleted: function (event, data) {

                                        //User has deleted their review. Re-show the add new review link
                                        $(".jtable-add-record").show();

                                    }
