ACL view access

This was my way too. I created some article stuff to see how Joomla thinks about access levels. So I learned that a Super user can't see articles in frontend without corresponding access level - it doesn't help him that he is allowed to do anything. Access levels is another way independent to all the modifying rights I call "real ACL".

btw: If you allow guests to read intro text of secret (e.g. registered) articles and you have such an article without "read more" tag everybody can read this complete article - confusing...

I hope we can integrate this in the JEM 1.9.5 version on github. The problem is that there was changed a lot after 1.9.4.

Hi Jojo,

if it would help you could send me a proper code base where I could merge into my changes and send it back to you.
Normally this would be the job of git but I don't have git skills so I keep my hands off your code repo.

Let me know if and how I can help.

EDIT: There is a dedicated topic for that now. Please take a look at possible issues in JEM next version 1.9.5

I've updated a local test site with JEM 1.9.5(pre) you sent me.
At a first short look I found some issues:
- update doesn't delete obsolete files (e.g. myattending* on frontend) which cause problems when used (see next)
- "My attendances" menu item doesn't work and must be reassigned to new view manually (caused by changing the name of model/view/files)
- changes on category table (increment ids) cause confusing menu items (wrong category is shown because id changed)
- "show all categories" now shoes nothings because instead of no category "root" must be choosen now

I know, it's not an official version and less than 2.0 it's not stable and at own risk.

Tomorrow I will concentrate on merging in my ACL related changes as promised.
Today it's too late...

@Hoffi
I said to you before, there is a big change (after all in categories) from 1.9.4. to 1.9.5 and it's not yet prepared for direct updating. There are changes too in db new and renamed fields. So trying works only with a fresh install (or uninstall the 1.9.4 and db and then new install) Then it should work. (So the obsolete files are away too.

At the moment there was a kind of lot other work in the dev team and a little bit demotivation too.
But I hope your help in ACL view gives new motivation to all. But we have to try, if it's possible to integrate your solution to the changes in 1.9.5. Can it be integrated, or do we have to return to 1.9.4 (I don't hope so).
So, if you want to try on a clean install and try if your solution works on 1.9.5 too, you're welcome.

@ernst67
I would like to propose to give viewaccess to Hoffi here in the forum. So he can se our developers informations. (How can I see, what he can't see, but should see?) Can you give him these rights?

Hi Jojo,

no problem at all.

I'm able to make my updated site running like a fresh one to test my changes. It was only for information.
I continue my work and will deliver next days (Bluefox wrote something about weekend - so my goal is not later than friday )

Currently I'm not frustrated - maybe it's virulent. :laugh:
