Can I limit Categories For Front-end Submissions? was created by fmgoodwin

I'm trying out the test stable version of FlexiContent and I'm trying to limit the categories available for front-end submission. The editor I'm using (JCE) is showing all my active categories, with a choice to select one or more categories. Can I limit front-end submissions to one category that is pre-determined?

I'd love to have this too, that is I'd like to be able to set a list of allowed categories, and then I'd want FlexiAccess to filter that list according to permissions.

There is room for various small improvements like this, but the more I use the combination of FlexiAccess and FlexiContent the more I like it. I don't think I'll ever see com_content again!

You can do it manuel..
Find:

Code:

<div class="flexi_formblock">
				<label for="cid" class="flexi_label">
					<?php echo JText::_( 'FLEXI_CATEGORIES' ).':';?>
					<?php if ($this->perms['multicat']) : ?>
					<span class="editlinktip hasTip" title="<?php echo JText::_ ( 'FLEXI_NOTES' ); ?>::<?php echo JText::_ ( 'FLEXI_CATEGORIES_NOTES' );?>">
						<?php echo JHTML::image ( 'components/com_flexicontent/assets/images/icon-16-hint.png', JText::_ ( 'FLEXI_NOTES' ) ); ?>
					</span>
					<?php endif; ?>
				</label>
          		<?php echo $this->lists['cid']; ?>
			</div>

in compenets/com_flexicontent/views/items/tmpl/form.php

Replace:

Code:

<div class="flexi_formblock">
				<label for="cid" class="flexi_label">
					Kategoriler:	</label>
       		<select name="cid[]" id="cid" class="inputbox required validate-cid"  size="">
                <option value="40">Ders Kitaplari</option>
                <option value="41">Edebiyat Kitaplari</option>
            </select>			
              </div>
              
			</div>

change 40 and 41 to your allowed categories id. change "Ders Kitaplari.." to your allowed categories name.

That's all
