Hi,

 

I would like to disable the article editing function in Front-End (please see screen shot in attachment) for registred users or admin.

I tried to figure out how to do it, but was unable to find out.

 

Thanks in advance for your feedback,

 

Ciao

Hello, see if this helps, it looks like it can be 1 of 2 things, since that icon is from joomla im thinking its a joomla article and not K2. try this first-

 

go to your admin. backend panel

go to "Global Setting"

hit the tab for "System"

in the catagory- "User Settings" got to "New User Registration Type" check to see if its "Registered" on the drop down list.

Next go to the category  "Media Settings"

go to Minimum User Level for Media Manager"- check to make sure its not on "Registered"- select Editor or Publisher

click "SAVE" or "APPLY"

 

Now the frontend users who are registered will not be able to see that icon or edit articles- only the group you selected.

 

if im wrong check this- this affects the K2 articles-

 

go to your admin. backend panel

go to components - K2

in the K2 dashboard go to "User Groups"

find "Registered"

open that up and go to the heading "Assign Permissions for this group"

you will find "Front end item editing"

click on "NO"  and hit "Save"

BINGO !  I had the opposite issue. K2 allows a sign in user to edit THEIR own items But to do so, in a first clean install of K2,  the front end options are set by default to "No"  so you need to configure the "user Groups"  as part of your set up. even though the "Categories" may have " allow front end edit " as a default ..  .... Great tip .. thank you
