Create Site based on group.

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I wanted to allow creating of a site base on the user being in a group ( That is not admin )
So I modified Header.get.js

…
   // extend to get all the groups a person is assocated to 
   if (!user.isGuest)
   {   
      var result = remote.call("/api/people/" + stringUtils.urlEncode(user.name) + "?groups=true");
 
      
      if (result.status == 200)
         {
          var i;          
         
         // Create javascript objects from the server response
         // This is the User and it also contains all groups. 
          var userValue = eval('(' + result + ')');
        
         
          if (userValue.groups.length != 0)
             {
                for (i = 0; i < userValue.groups.length; i++)
                {
                     if (userValue.groups[i].itemName == "GROUP_CreateSiteAdministrator") createSite = true;
                }
             }            

         }
   } 
… 
model.createSite = createSite;
…
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Then modified header.get.ftl

         <#if createSite>
         <ul class="create-site-menuitem">
            <li>
               <a href="#" onclick="thisHeader.showCreateSite(); return false;">${msg("header.sites.createSite")}</a>
            </li>
         </ul>
         </#if>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

this worked for the header, but how can I pass this to the dashlet ?
I got it working by doing the same in the dashlet, but it seems as there should be another way.

my.sites.get.js

…
 // extend to get all the groups a person is assocated to 
   if (!user.isGuest)
   {   
      var result = remote.call("/api/people/" + stringUtils.urlEncode(user.name) + "?groups=true");
 
      
      if (result.status == 200)
         {
          var i;          
         
         // Create javascript objects from the server response
         // This is the User and it also contains all groups. 
          var userValue = eval('(' + result + ')');
        
         
          if (userValue.groups.length != 0)
             {
                for (i = 0; i < userValue.groups.length; i++)
                {
                     if (userValue.groups[i].itemName == "GROUP_CreateSiteAdministrator") createSite = true;
                }
             }            

         }
   }

Simply add the same javascript code to the js of each dashlet.
