Hey guys,

I just got my News module up and running. I was wondering how I could limit who could post News items. How do I remove the "Post News" link from the Main Menu from particular users?

thanks!

In the lastest version of news (1.3) it removes it if the user doesn't have permission to submit news

Thanks bluenova for your reply. However, this brings up another question for me. I wasn't able to find the newest News module from the Module Repository. The only way I could find it was by searching the website. Is there an easier way to find out the newest versions for the modules?

Thanks.

I created a new Group called Moderators and then gave that group System Admin rights for Comments.(This lets them see and use the Administration Menu Link & lets them admin all comments) And gave them Module Admin rights for Chat, Forum, Classifieds, Xgallery & News.
Also go to the Module Administration page and enter 0 in the Order Colum for that Module to remove the link from the main menu.

Hope that Helps
