User Uplaod Permissions

Post by drsassafras »

Hi,

I am trying to set the default for images (or in this case it looks like categories) to 'Registered' rather than Public.

I have read the documentation and it looks like it will require a hack. I might be able to figure it out myself if I was pointed to the file I needed to look at.

There is a chance, a slim one, that I might half know what I am doing enough to submit a patch. This would require making some sort of option on the admin panel.

Could you help me out by directing me to the files I need to study. I have tried to look but can only find $row->access in one file, and it does not appear to be upload related.

I also want to take this time to

1. Vote for community builder integration.

2. Say what a great program this is and how grateful I am that you are developing it.

3. Suggest a possible vision for user editing.
- A user can create albums but is only ever allowed to upload/delete photos from his own albums.
- A default user group can be set for "administrator" functions on the fronted eg. admin can delete and upload anything.
- Backed has control over what user groups are allowed to do do, eg. posting publicly.
- Jcomment integration... let them do the work on the commenting system.

You have already implemented so much and done a very good job at making an advanced program while keeping it simple and clean. Not something every programmer can do.

Hi, user rights system is a comprehensive system which is not coded in one file but in a lot of files... so it is not easy to say, this file and this need to be edited...

Subcategories in frontend - it is in feature request list, the problem is the security now, so I hope I will solve it

JComment - I have seen some JComment integration on some russian site, I have contacted the developer who described this integration but didn't got any answer yet, so if somebody knows how to contact him, please let me know:
