[SOLVED] ACL RULES for access only own items

Hi Everybody,

i was wondering if there is a combination of ACL Rules so any registered user (except of course Admin) cannot see other user's items...

One simple answer is to use MyItems Menu but when i select Category then i see other user's items...

Can we manage that from ACL Rules ??

Best Regards

Hello

yes you can do it,
the solution is simple,
- do not give to the user ACL privilege to "publish" / "publish own"
(neither give ACL edit.state nor give ACL edit.state.own)

Thus all items will remain "unpublished"
and the result will be that only owners of the items will be able to see the items in frontend


Furthermore a mesage will appear in (single) "item view" saying:
-- "Item is unpublished, " etc

you can search for it in Joomla language overrides manager and customize it to be something more appropriate

Hi George,

i understand this and believe that the easiest solution... (i have tested and works OK)
I hope that i don't have any problems generated from the fact that articles are not "published"

Hello

please note that if you do not give permission "create" at component to your authors
and instead you give only to specific categories
then in J3.6.5 creation is not possible for them

I have made a new build in Github if you website is new then you can install:
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/releases

otherwise see the patch here:
www.flexicontent.org/forum/21-troublesho...tent/edit/65551.html

I don't understand exactly what are you saying ...

"please note that if you do not give permission "create" at component to your authors
and instead you give only to specific categories
then in J3.6.5 creation is not possible for them"

What is not possible for them (authors) ???

Hello

You need to know a little more of Joomla ACL

the issue is with this configuration

- if you do not give permission "create" at component configuration to your usergroups
instead you set it to "inherit" which means inherit from Global configuration and in Globla configuration you also have inherit, and the permission setting inherited is "not set" = soft deny = i can set it later in specific categories

- and then you give "create" (content) only by editing specific categories and allowing specific usergroups to create

then the users will not be allowed to add content
