Permissions to articles/categories (TP 0.9.7.1)

[aschofield]

Hi,

Is there any way to control which categories site members are able to allocate artcles too? And along with this is there any way to control which membergroups can edit articles in particular categories?

Thanks in advance

Cheers,
Andrew

Not at this time.
The only way to have some sort of controll for the submission is to set it so you have to approve the articles, that way you are the one that will have to sort them and place them in to the diffrent categories.

Ok, thanks. Is this planned?

Well rats! .. This was functionality I was looking for as well!

I'd -really- Like to see this implemented in the future. Also a way to have a membergroup designated to edit specific pre-defined articles.

Me too. Its quiet annoying that every member can read articles written for a specific member group. Hope this will be implemented.

Just create a category and set it so only the membergroups you want them to show for can see the content in that category. Then place the articles in there.

This can be done? .. When I look at the category manager, I only get 3 options for each category .. "Icon", "Name" and "Sub-cat of" .. I don't see any options to set a category to a specific group.... Unless you are referring to setting the block which displays the articles to the specific group (Which I already do).

My issue specifically relates to the editability of the articles... Please forgive the long winded explanation to follow...

Specifically speaking, I admin a site that is a collaborative between 2 WoW Guilds ... While there are many sections of the site which are shared, there are areas which are separate to each guild. All of this is controlled through the use of membergroups; "Guild X member", "Guild X admin", "Guild Y member", "Guild Y admin", etc.

In relation to the topic at hand we have 4 welcome articles that display on the front page. One only to guests, one to ungrouped members, and one for members of each guild.... As it stands now, when the "admins" of "Guild Y" need to submit changes to their welcome message, I must go in and change it for them... Taking this a step further, there are other articles in play as well; Rosters, Rules, Manifestos, News, Events, and an ever growing list of others....

Ideally,  I'd like to create an article category "Guild Y Docs" in which all their articles would be placed. Then set permissions on the category so that any member in the "Guild Y Admin" group can edit their articles.

I hope that made some sort of sense

No, the Articles you put IN that category , thats where you set what groups that will be able to read them, So you place all articles you dont want others to see in that category to have them sorted and easy to keep track on.
