Hello all,

got the following questions regarding user rights:

We´re setting up an internet portal where many users do have permissions to edit and create their own articles over the frontend-access. Frontend access is working without problems, the only gap I think is that the users can see each others files and pictures.

Is there are way of creating subdirectories for the users and set the permissions the way that only each user has got permissions to search his own directory ?

Many thanks in advance for your help

Hello Torsten, I am also just this minute starting something the same, where each user will have "1 space" for their own exclusive article. Is that along the lines you are? Or will yours have multiple posts sir?
What I know and read so far is to also have a new category in Joomla as well as K2

And what I need to do is then have the 'category' of the usrs articles/blog post displayed all (or at least a few) on a menu item or home page.

/* ADDED for more information */

The requirements I am needing, and possibly Torsten's also I fell will be as follows:

Public View = No Show
Registered User = Be able to View Articles posted by individual Users
K2User = Ability to add/edit or create their own article and have have control over it without needing access to Joomla's Admin area.

If I am incorrect Torsten, forgive me sir as I will remove this post and start a new thread.

Are you in NJ by chance?

Hello Jim,

that´s what we want to build, too. But our users will have the right to add multiple articles.

What we want to achieve is the following:

- Create a subfolder on the server (e.g. /users/documents/...)
- Add user rights to the corresponding folder

Each user can only see his own folder, I´ve attached a picture from the current status.

Btw, I´m located in Germany :)

Best regards
Torsten

Hi all,

nobody´s got any ideas or hints ?
Is it possible to reflect this with K2 or not ?

Many thanks
Torsten

Torsten , without the use of a K2 plugin I do not think this is possible.
I don't even know if such a plugin exists.

Hi Krikor,

thanks for the update. Would it be possible to remove the following from the code:

- in the image section, the link "search server" (so that it´s only possible to upload files from the local harddisk)
- in the main text area, remove the buttons for "add article", "add module", etc.

@Torsten Lachnitt

What you are asking regarding the browse server button cannot be done. The buttons below the editor are plugins. This means that you can disable them in the plugin manager.

Thanks for the update, Lefteris.
Which plugins do I have to disable then ? And is the search working furthermore ?

Best regards
Torsten

You need to disable the "editors-xtd" type plugins. Sort them in the plugin manager and disable the ones you do not need.

OK, found it. Many thanks for this, Krikor :)

Regarding my question to remove the "browse server" button:

Would it be possible to change the directory then where the search starts ?



Would it be possible to set that way ?



Thanks in advance
Torsten
