Hi, i have a few questions about seetings flexicontent...
1.how to make, that only author of the article can edit them, delete and so on...

2. every registred user can write article and publish without admin revision...

3. can i have only one category for my user? so user dont have to choose category....

Thanks you very much :oops:

Hello

of course you can do,

use Joomla/FLEXIcontent ACL, deny everyone the "edit" permission and give everyone the "edit owned" permission,

and in order to publish they need "edit state own" permission and deny them them the "edit state" permission so that they will not be able to tamper with other people content

These are basic Joomla ACL usage

please read a Joomla ACL tutorial first, there are some good ones

Thanks you very much, but i cant find, how to set default category for user group... can you write me a link for acl tutorial? thanks

Hello

-- first keep in mind that Joomla ACL has heritage !!

1. so DO NOT alter the category ACL permission (if you have done ANY changes to categories then set these back to "inherit")

2. Only set the ACL permission in FLEXIcontent --component-- configuration (it is the "Configuration" button at top right)
find your desirable user group e.g. "registered" and SET:
1. deny for: edit, publish, delete
2. allow for: "create", edit own, publish own, delete own
... these will be inherited by ALL categories !!

3. FINALLY if you have some categories that you do not want to allow user to create , place these under a single top-level category and FOR this top level category set DENY for "create" privilege, this will prevent user to create (=assign) items to this top level category and to all it's subcategories ,

Here is Joomla's official tutorial
docs.joomla.org/J2.5:Access_Cont ... t_Tutorial

Thanks you very much, but I need somethong different, user of my web will elderly peoply, so i need to heve web very simple, so i need to users dont have to choos ANY categorie, there will by one for all and hiden..its possible? thansk you very much

Hello

you description is not clear of what you want to do

- 1 category per user or is it per usergroup?
e.g. all 'registered' users submit to category

if it is per usergroup, then that is what ACL for does, you can set the usergroup 'registered' to only submit to category 'A'
thus only category 'A' will be visible to the item form , user will not be able to change it


- people will only submit or will also edit the content later?
If they will only submit, then you have some extra option in the FLEXIcontent "submit" menu item

Yes, but in all cases there is field select category, i need to have one category choosen, so user dont have to set this....thanks you very much

Hello

you can use CSS to hide the category label and the category selector,

but also
please, answer my questions above 1 by 1 (1 question, 1 answer)

I need this to user group, for example publisher... but when i try to save article, there is alert, that i have to select category, when i hide selector, i cant select any category... so i cannot save...

Hello

this may work:

edit your content Type and set the Javascript parameter (for frontend form, NOT for both)

(there are 3 javascript parameters
1 for frontend form,
1 for backend form and
1 for both)

the above (as soon as the page has finished loading) will preselect the first category value in the category field
