 Posted: Wed Dec 12, 2007 3:07 pm Post subject: Joomla User Groups Overriding Thyme Groups? |
 |
|
Using Thyme on Joomla 1.0.13.
I have set up a calendar where I wish to have three different access levels. I set up these groups in Thyme:
Calendar Admins - who have full access to everything administrative (Admin access)
Submitters - who are allowed to submit event requests (Normal access)
Public - who can only view calendar (View-only access)
I have two Joomla users for testing - one is Registered, one is Author. Both are members of the Submitters (Normal) group. When the Registered user logs in to the joomla front end, he can submit a request (as intended). When the Author user logs in, she can post an event directly (without submitting). The calendar is set with Event Requests enabled, "Normal" mode (so View-only views, and Normal submits requests).
Another twist - I also forgot to apply the Calendar Admins category to the calendar, but Joomla Super Administrators can still add/edit the calendar.
It seems like the Joomla permissions are taking precendence over the Thyme settings, but I want it the other way 'round. The documentation and a forum search suggest that it shouldn't be doing what it's doing, so I'm baffled. 
Any suggestions?
Thanks!! |

Hi,
Joomla super-users have full admin rights in Thyme. The author should not though. Would it be possible for you to send me a PM with the URL and an author's username / pass? Click on the "PM" icon under this post.
Thank you. |

I think I've got it figured out.
The problem was that we had a menu link called "submit calendar event" that was allowing everyone to submit an event, but back end users to automatically post. Additionally, there was a similar link in the usermenu (for registered only) that was doing the same thing.
When you went in through the calendar [+], it performed exactly as intended. So I removed the links.
It would be nice if there were a way to remove the [+] and have the same functionality through menu items. It would make the calendar submissions a little more intuitive. I know that Thyme is a stand-alone program, integrated into Joomla, so I don't know if it's even possible to do, but a guy can dream, right? 
Ian, thanks for your help. The support, both directly, and on this forum, is amazing!!  |
