Geeklog Forums

I'd like to grant permission to edit a specific static page to one user, but not allow them to create any static pages.

I was able to grant the user the permission to edit just that one page, by creating a group, giving that group the staticpages.edit right, and adding the user to the group, and then setting the static page's group access to that group (with both R and E access).

But... it seems like staticpages.edit implies the ability to create as well. Am I missing something?

OK, here's my hack to the static page code to make this work. This is against Geeklog 1.3.8sr4 with the default Static Pages 1.3 that comes with it.

In the gl_features table, add a feature called "staticpages.create", description "Ability to create static pages", and core 0.



In public_html/admin/plugins/staticpages/index.php, change line 40 from:

With these two changes, permission to create static pages is now separate from permission to edit. You'll probably need to go into your groups and users and modify permissions accordingly. At the very least, you'll want to modify the group "Static Page Admin" and add the new "staticpages.create" permission.
