BACKEND or FRONTEND - User Access to Specific Categories
Posted: 16 Jun 2012, 17:25
Hi, as you said (in 2011) - the backend works like Joomla!- the permissions are set for the whole component with different actions (create, edit, delete, etc.). I would be happy for more "fine-tunning" in backend. But there is (partial) solution to this situation by creating user frontend access, of course (+ enabling user panel). But my gallery is based on Picasa albums stored on another server. I found it very useful. So I do not waste free space on my hosting account and I do not have big backup files. I also cooperate with my friend, who uses Picasa too. She gives me her links and I created a special category for her on my web. I would be glad to have a way how to provide access for her and following options - create categories, subcategories and link her picasa galeries. Nothing more and nothing less. She does not need to copy files onto my hosting account and I do not need to give her permissions to access the whole component in the backend. So I see two ways how to solve the problem: 1) Backend - more controls and access rules (categories, component parts) OR/AND 2) Frontend - added functionality: add Picasa (maybe Facebook too) albums (maybe + switch enable/disable uploading files). Could you help me with that by upgrading that feature? Thank you for your great component !!!
