*Users* attribute type
Permalink
Hi All,
For a specific project, we need to create a specific attribute type.
The main idea:
The project is to extend a current C5 website with a "customer zone" area (aka a private section).
The owner want to upload files (Word, Excel, PDF, …) with minutes, technical documentation, … to specific user/group.
I suggest to create a new "attribute type" which is called *Users* - linked with *File* in Type Association.
I imagine a display with an UI a little like the new 5.6 permission model (tag style with a color for the group and an another one for the users).
When you add a new attribute, you have the options to choose if you want Users, Groups, Registred Users and Guests (checkboxes).
+--------------------------------------------------+
[ Group 1 | x ] [ Group 2 | x ] { User 1 | x } [ + ]
+--------------------------------------------------+
When you click [ + ] you have an auto-completition field with groups/users.
+--------------------------------------------------+
Mo <--- USER INPUT
+--------------------------------------------------+
| Doe Morgan (doemorgan) <--- AUTO COMPLETITION
| Morsi James (jmorsi)
----------------------------
| Administrators <--- GROUPS list
| Editors
| Moderators
| Validators
----------------------------
| Registered Users
| Guests
+--------------------------------------------------+
For the Users, it's based on the C5 users (and if the User Attributes first_name and last_name are set, they are searchable and used to display results)
Then it comes very easy to upload a file and choose on which user/group personal document library the file has to appear.
Feel free to ask me if you need other details or if you have any question regarding this stuff.
Kind regards,
marc
