Limiting a guest blogger's acccess?
PermalinkDoubt this is going to be answered like my last 5 posts but here goes: I have an Ask the vet section to my website and I'd like to let her access only the composer without giving her any edit permissions aside from that anywhere else on the website.
Thanks!
Thanks!
To test the functionality before letting the Vet in, I would create a group (i.e. 'Guest Bloggers') and apply all permissions to that group. Add a test user to that group while setting all permissions up and try it out with the test user. Once all permissions are in place you can simply add the Vet to that group as well.
You need to give View access to the Dashboard in the sitemap (and no other dashboard pages except the below).
View permissions on Composer
View and Edit permissions on Composer/Write and Composer/Drafts
Edit and Add pages to the section in the site.
Add permissions on the page type used in Composer (I think)
So play around with your test user until you get this going, then add your Vet to the group.
Fatal error: Call to a member function getComposerBlocks() on a non-object in /home/webadmin/thepetkeeper.in/html/concrete/models/composer_page.php on line 29
Any clue why?
Please see this how-to on setting up composer: http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/editors/setting-up-a...
check this out - it simplified allot for me
( you still need to edit permissions after )
1. Create a User Group in the dashboard (maybe "Guest Bloggers" or something).
2. Create the user (but don;t send them an email just yet).
3. Head to the site map and update permissions.
4. Log in as the guest blogger user and make sure that things work as you expect and that they can only see the publicly facing site and the composer.
5. Tweak as necessary.
You'll have to grant access to the dashboard and composer pages, so they will see the bar at the top, but they won't see everything else if you remove access. Just be sure to log in as the user to test before you send them credentials to log in.
