Category Permissions

Permalink
Hi,

My client requires permission based categories, allowing users of individual groups to post events of specific categories.

So:
- a user in Group A is only allowed to post events of category A
- a user in Group B is only allowed to post events of category B
- a user in Group C is allowed to post an event in any category

How would I achieve this?

Thanks

In my opinion, the easiest way to do this is to create a "page type" for each "category".

Then on your main categories page set permissions to allow your "user group" to add sub-pages of said "page type"...

Hope this makes sense. If you have further questions please ask !!

Hi Enlil,

I think I follow, in part, you suggest adding a new page type with the calendar attribute set to yes.. So that it appears as an option under Calendars when creating a new event.

The part I'm not following is the permissions part, I only see permissions for "Who can view this page?" and "Who can edit this page?" - am I looking in the wrong place?

Cheers for your help

P.S. clicked the accept as best answer link instead of reply in my haste :P

I'm not positive about the calendar add-on you are using, but if all it requires is that a page of any page type be created and the calendar attribute be selected, then yes, this will work!

If you dont have much experience with page types, the easiest way to make one is to take, left_sidebar.php for instance, and copy and rename it to category_1.php and category_2.php etc...

As far as the permissions go, i believe you would need to turn advanced permissions on!
