Regarding soft deny on 3.6.5

Hi!

I found the problem and your solving commit github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck...8588d6684cb752f7185e but I don´t know why you refer to it as workaround

It is a Joomla mistake? I was planning to make a patch until the next stable release of flexicontent

Hello

JUser::authorise in J3.6.5

will return false instead of NULL in the case of soft deny,
after talking to Joomla issue tracker, the reason for this change was not a bug,

- but to make it match the existing online documentation that was saying it always returns a boolean

It is a problem in existing installations, because they need to be updated
- but from implementation side it is simple to fix, we just use:

JAccess::check()

Maybe workaround is not a proper term,
because in any case the fix is proper and will not break in the future

The reason for the above code is to minimize cost of ADD BUTTON when you use soft deny and you have e.g. 500, 1000, 2000 categories in a website, the calculation needs to re-happen any time the categories cache is cleared
- e.g. global config save or component config save or category config save

PS: i am making a new (testing) build in github
i am now updating its changelog (release) text

You can test it

much appreciated. I have made a patch for Flexi 3.1.1 until next update

regards

The patch is the changes made in

components/com_flexicontent/helpers/permission.php

and

1 line removed in (near the top):
administrator/components/com_flexicontent/views/flexicontent/view.html.php

I did the changes on getPermAny and modified the helpers to check first "$item->created_by == $user->get('id')"

What line on view.html.php are you refering to?
