NInja Super Submit beta RC1 (UPDATED AGAIN)

If your site is powered by j1.5 then this might interest you:

Included in the next JCE 1.5.0 beta 4 and JCE Admin Component RC 3 will be the new Groups system. This is a major change to the way permissions are handled in JCE and presents what is essentially the ability to create individual user and/or user type profiles, each have a unique layout and button configuration, as well as specific editor and plugin parameters. Groups can contain a mix of user types and individual users.

For example, you can create a group for Authors which only has access to Bold, Italic, Underline and the Image Manager. You then set the Image Manager to be restricted to a folder with the groups name, as well as disabling file and folder deleting, set via the plugin's group parameters. For this group you also disable the ability to insert javascript and php code (via the group's editor parameters), and just for good measure, add the user Joe Schmo to this group, because despit the fact he is an Editor, he just no ready for all the features you have assigned to your Editor group.

A default group exists for all default editing user types (which can be edited). Super Administrators have access to everything (always, regardless of what group they are assigned to), and Guests and Registered users are not in any group by default and are therefore presented with a blank editor (you can change this by assigning them to a group or creating a new one).

agree here that moving to 1.6 will be a pain in the back side, but eventually we may all have to take the plunge and move. especially when developers slowly drop 1.0 development for the wonders on joomla 1.5+

on a note about having two editors, could be accomplished if you spent the time renaming a second installation of JCE, doubt whether the benefit would override the work though.

hehehe I doubt we will ever go to 1.6

No real reason to. Once we have our new download manager in placer we will be just about complete for the main functions of the site and can focus on improving the content.

not one that i am aware of vida,

easiest way other than the manual way, would be to dump a sql of a generic user, copy it 300 times and simply edit away. then insert the sql

but then whether that is quicker i have no idea.

pretty sure there Joomla 1.5 tables (although not 100% without looking at one)

jos_core_acl_aro jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map

to confirm,

i was mistaken - they do exist ive just never took any notice of them before :S

richie

umm?

you might need to give me a bit more info on this one

Thanks

Richie

ohh

i completely forgot about that, the early beta, had a module that allowed you to load super submit into a shadowbox.

let me know if you want it - im sure i could make one up again

Richie

you never actually needed the module - someone asked for it so i made it - it was just a extra feature for those wanting shadowbox fuctionality - something thats being built into the new version anyways

emailed you

Richie

The image name needs to be altered so that people can upload images with the same name.

Especially when you have multiple editors, the chances of similar named files (img001.jpg anyone??) grows very high.

Also, how are you referencing the images in the text? It is mean to be using the { mosimage} tag if I recall correctly. But its best you wait for Richie, the developer to give you an idea.

looks like a definite bug

it should be updating the name

i will try to take a look this weekend at fixing it
