Hello,
I have an online magazine with over 40 authors who write articles. All articles written by the authors must be activated by an editor. Authors must be able to edit their articles as long as they are not published but once they are published they must not be able to edit their own articles. How do I accomplish this with Flexiaccess?
many of our authors save their drafts to the server and they usually work on their articles several days so not allowing them to edit their articles before they are published is not an option. So basically I'm looking for a way to lock an article for a specific usergroup once it's published.
Or could anyone pls. tell how I can access the flexiaccess group name in /administrator/components/com_flexicontent/vies/items/tmpl/default.php?
thanks

Well, I kind of managed to accomplish this, but it's still a bit clumsy so I first of all it would be really helpful if there was anything like a documentation for the rules in flexiaccess (if it can be done using the rules) and if this is not possible using rules I need a way to access the name of flexiaccess-group the current user belongs to.
For now I hacked /administrator/components/com_flexicontent/views/items/tmpl/default.php do remove the link for users with a gid lower than 24. But this removes links for all users that are member of the generic manager role which seems a bit too unflexible to me.
It would be really great if someone (probably one of the PHP Pros here in the forum) could point me to the right direction of how to acces the flexicontent group context from within the file /administrator/components/com_flexicontent/views/items/tmpl/default.php.
Also is it possible to add this feature to future versions? I can't think of solid editorial process without this feature.

Well.... do you have an idea, who could be able to help me? No offense, but a nealy non present documentation and no help via forum is not quite what I expect when I pay for a product.
