Oh, right. I just based this on the code I sent to GIJOE some time ago, suggesting that he made a module for managing blocks instead of having some code inserted in individual modules. I guess it could be changed with only a couple of changes. One should consider, though, if anyone will ever use both this and GIJOE's (and actually, I could hope that someone would take this and GIJOE's and make a COMPLETE module that would serve all needs...  )

Can't agree with current decision - because changing placement can broke page (it's webmaster area - how he see it's site)... Glad to see possibiliries for re-thinking from your side... And one note - if GIJOE will create his blocksadmin for X2.2, his module will fight with your for same foldername... Can be something changed in it? |

| by Mithrandir on 2005/8/18 13:40:48 Basically it gives the interface from the blocks administration in 2.2 (with an added filter-by-block's-module drop-down) and the ability to - when adding or editing a block - assign permissions to usergroups, who would be allowed to edit this block. These groups would have to be module administrators of this module (but NOT have blocks admin permissions in the System privileges - those are "superadmins" of this module, with the ability to assign permissions) A user, who is module admin of this module, but not System blocks admin, will only see the blocks that he/she can edit. I just spotted that the "delete" link is still present for those users - but they'll get an error message about no permissions, if they try to - Add a block - Delete a block - Edit a block that they have not permissions to edit I was thinking about also removing some privileges in regards to placement and visibility, but decided against it as the main purpose was simply to only allow editing of certain blocks, and it would be too rigid and inflexible, if I also restricted other elements. It could be a task for the future, though

| by LazyBadger on 2005/8/18 13:32:50 Can you give some additional hints - which additonal rights must be delegated to group, which will give some permissions for handling block instances? And which exactly permissions I'll delegate - only edit settings or... also change placement, delete instance? |
| Blocks administration module for 2.2 |
| by Mithrandir on 2005/8/18 13:01:19 Not meant to compete with GIJOE's blocksadmin module, I have released a module for managing blocks in XOOPS 2.2 or higher. The main asset in this module is that you can assign block editing permissions to individual groups and let e.g. your news moderators only edit the news blocks and not every other block - and not create new ones. Hope this is usable to others as it will be a great help to us at my work. |
