Allow non-super users to change parameters

Hi guys

I use joomla 1.5 and Phocagallery both in their latest versions.
While I am the superadmin, I only look after technical stuff while another user as "normal admin" does all content-related things.

Now, I had an issue with thumbnail creation which disabled their creation. While I can reenable the setting to create them, he (as 'only' an admin) cannot, as the Parameter-Button is not shown. (Several topics here in the forum document that)

Is it possible to grant administrators the privilege to adjust those parameters? I mean after all, admins can install & uninstall components? So changing their parameters should not be only restricted to the superadmins, right?

Has anyone done this before or an idea how it could/should be done?

Thanks!

Hi, this is problematic, all this depends on Joomla! itself. Displaying the parameters or not is a Joomla! rule, so maybe Joomla! itself needs to be modified to display parameters (and to allow manage them) for other users than super administrators are.

Hi Jan, thanks for your answer.

Sad :( Well, perhaps in Joomla 1.6 that will be a bit more flexible with the new ACL system.

Have a nice day!
