Modules and roles...

[ajlisowski]

Hey all, if I restrict certain module features to certain roles, is there a way for those links to not show up for them at all? Like if a user cant create a new object of that module I dont want the create button even shown for them. Is this possible with config or will I need to edit some custom templates/layouts?

Another instance of googling a bit more after asking has solved this for me.

In case anyone is wondering you have to edit/add a file.

custom/modules/MODULE_NAME/Ext/Menus/menu.ext.php

$module_menu=array();

putting this at the top kills the current actions list.


if(ACLController::checkAccess('MODULE_NAME', 'edit', true)) {
$module_menu[]=Array("index.php?module=MODULE_NAME&action=EditVi ew&return_module=MODULE_NAMEt&return_action=Detail View",'Create Script', "Create Script");
}

this line will check to see if the user has access to the module action and if so display it. Do this for any/all your actions. Done and done.

Not sure why thats not automatic for modules. If someone doesnt have access I likely dont want them clicking or even seeing the link. Oh well.

Hello,

The correct place to change the Menu is custom/Extension/modules/<MODULE_NAME>/Ext/Menus/FILE_NAME.php otherwise by doing quick repair and rebuild you will loose the customization.

Ohh.

does it matter what the file name is? Or will the quick repair merge all the files in that menu directory?

If it does matter, what should the name be? Menu.php?
