I followed this documentation for Edit In Place, and setup the Activator, and it works!

However, I will be using this on the production site and allowing access via a ROLE_TRANSLATOR Authorization. This is also working, but I don't want the web interface always "on"

How would I go about enabling it via some sort of link or toggle?

My thoughts, it would be simple to just add a URL parameter, like ?trans=yes and then in the activator;

return ($this->authorizationChecker->isGranted(['ROLE_TRANSLATOR']) && $_GET['trans'] == 'yes');

Obviously, $_GET would not work, I didn't even try.

1. How do I generate a link to simply reload THIS page with the extra URL parameter


2. How do I check for that parameter within the "Activator"

or, is there a better way?

The "proper" way to do this, as I have discovered more about "services" is to do the logic diectly in the RoleActivator.php file.

referencing documentation for How to Inject Variables into all Templates via Referencing Services I came up with the following solution;

src/Security/RoleActivator.php

<?php

namespace AppSecurity;

use SymfonyComponentHttpFoundationRequest;
use SymfonyComponentSecurityCoreAuthorizationAuthorizationCheckerInterface;
use SymfonyComponentSecurityCoreExceptionAuthenticationCredentialsNotFoundException;
use TranslationBundleEditInPlaceActivatorInterface;
use SymfonyComponentTranslationTranslatorInterface;
use SymfonyComponentHttpFoundationRequestStack;

class RoleActivator implements ActivatorInterface

 /**
 * @var AuthorizationCheckerInterface
 */
 private $authorizationChecker;
 /**
 * @var TranslatorInterface
 */
 private $translate;
 /**
 * @var RequestStack
 */
 private $request;
 private $params;
 private $path;

 private $flag = null;

 public function __construct(AuthorizationCheckerInterface $authorizationChecker, TranslatorInterface $translate, RequestStack $request)
 
 $this->authorizationChecker = $authorizationChecker;
 $this->translate = $translate;
 $this->request = $request;
 

 /**
 * @inheritdoc
 */
 public function checkRequest(Request $request = null)
 
 if ($this->flag === null) $this->setFlag($request); 
 try 
 return ($this->authorizationChecker->isGranted(['ROLE_TRANSLATOR']) && $this->flag);
 catch (AuthenticationCredentialsNotFoundException $e) 
 return false;
 
 

 public function getText()
 
 if ($this->flag === null) $this->setFlag(); 
 return ($this->flag) ? 'linkText.translate.finished' : 'linkText.translate.start'; // Translation key's returned
 

 public function getHref()
 
 if ($this->flag === null) $this->setFlag(); 
 $params = $this->params;
 if ($this->flag) 
 unset($params['trans']);
 else 
 $params['trans'] = 'do';
 
 $queryString = '';
 if (!empty($params)) 
 $queryString = '?';
 foreach ($params as $key => $value) 
 $queryString.= $key.'='.$value.'&';
 
 $queryString = rtrim($queryString, '&');
 
 return $this->path.$queryString;
 

 private function setFlag(Request $request = null)
 
 if ($request === null) 
 $request = $this->request->getCurrentRequest();
 
 $this->flag = $request->query->has('trans');
 $this->params = $request->query->all();
 $this->path = $request->getPathInfo();
 

configpackagestwig.yaml

twig:
 # ...
 globals:
 EditInPlace: '@EditInPlace_RoleActivator'

configservices.yaml

services:
 # ...
 EditInPlace_RoleActivator:
 class: AppSecurityRoleActivator
 arguments: ["@security.authorization_checker"]

So What I added over and above the php-translation example is the getText and getHref methods and corresponding private variables being set in the checkRequest and read there after.

Now in my twig template (in the header) I just use

% if is_granted('ROLE_TRANSLATOR') %
 <a href=" EditInPlace.Href "> EditInPlace.Text </a>
% endif %

Add the new keys to the translation files and your done. the trans=do query parameter is toggled on and off with each click of the link. You could even add toggling styles with a class name, just copy the getText method to something like getClass and return string a or b with the Ternary.
