Geeklog Forums

Sorry I didn't submit my question properly yesterday. (Attn Mod: Feel free to delete previous topic.)

As I understand Geeklog's design: If a User has Group & Topic-assigned, Edit permission for a SPECIFIC Topic, he/she can SUBMIT a new Story to ANY Topic for which he/she has Read ONLY permission, but subequently cannot EDIT that Story.

I know this topic has been previously covered but I'm wondering if there's a contemporary solution.

I need my managers to have the ability to submit/edit Stories to SPECIFIC Topics WITHOUT allowing them to submit a Story to a Topic to which their Group is not assigned. IE: I don't want my Marina manager to be able to submit/edit a story in the Yacht Sales Topic nor vice versa. (I obviously have no confidence in their ability to use a dropdown box properly.)

I found this thread from May, 04 and am wondering if this is the correct solution or if there's a better way...

Thanks, Bob

Dirk, is this not worth addressing?

The code posted in that old thread should still work. Keep in mind that it only hides the unwanted topics from the dropdown, though. So if a user really wanted, they could still post to those hidden topics.

Thanks Dirk,
I just hate to (have suprsidr) edit core code for future update concerns, you know how his memory is (jk s)

Followup question: How would they still be able to post? Jump through tech hoops? These guys are amateurs and would not TRY to, I just want them not to post to the wrong Topic ACCIDENTLY.

Thanks, Bob

Yeah, using manipulated forms or POST requests. Nothing you could do accidentally.

bye, Dirk

Wasn`t there a feature request for read- and write-only topics? I can`t find it.

At least I found the other thread about the same topic:
