@Marikas RE: Editor buttons

Yeah, I was kinda hoping to have two levels of editors.. one for non-tech users and one for more computer literate people...
I have most people set up to use tinyMCE in basic mode and then have JCE available to me and a few others...
Can't have two versions/configurations of JCE available at the same time can I?

Think I might just edit the TinyMCE code and remove those two buttons...

Thanks
Vida

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).

Hiya,
Nahh I'm on J!1.0 now... and don't even want to think about what I'll have to do to upgrade.. sigh...
I am thinkin I'll wait for a 1.6 of joomla before doing anything .. hoping that it will finally have the whole user groups thing done properly at that stage...

Vida

Hopla,

Agree that 1.6 should be a major update, but you'll get lots more to do, understanding API,legacy mode won't work for extensions 1.0.x, and must be php 5.x...And ACL might not be integrate at that time...
That surely be not before 6 months...But your 1.0.x Jommla! will be 6 months heavier to migrate (with all your funky hacks and stuffs like that...):P

Link to this post 17 Jul 08

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.

Link to this post 17 Jul 08

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.

Hi guys,
Sorry to leave the thread cold for a few days.. but we actually had some good weather here (for once).. so I went sailing... heh ...

I'm just going to leave the site as it is for the time being and see what the users say when they've used it for a coupla weeks. then will consider the 1.5 upgrade...
But Ive just spent so long working on the site in the last few weeks that I think I'll just take a breather...

I was wondering would you guys know of a script that would allow me to bulk load the 300 or so users that I need to add to the site ?

Vida

Link to this post 22 Jul 08

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.

Hiya Richie,

When a new user is added to joomla is there just one table affected?
Or do other related tables get some entries into them as well?

thanks
Vida

Hi Vida,

Maybe I can help a little here?

Users details are recorded in the nnn_users table (where nnn is the the table prefix of your installation) so you should be able to make your new users table from your 'old' one, i.e. the table with the usernames that you want to migrate across.

-but- please be aware that the first action of an moves to repliate an MySQL table DROPs the existing table and all of it's content is erased. So please backup the table you're moving the data to. Backing up simply by changing its name will work in this instance since your SQL 'dump' should create the table from new.

As Richie says, you need the extract [' dump '] the SQL data for your old users table and insert it into your new site's database.

You can easily do this using phpmysqladmin, but I'll have to admit I can't immediately repeat the steps you need to follow ...because I never use it (I use Navicat), shame on me, eh? ;)


So, you should be able to be able to copy the data from your old database and insert it into your new database quite easily. You might have a hiccups if you have bridged programs installed, but you should be able to iron out those problems if you come across them. If you ahve nothing that is bridged tehn you should be OK.

Hope that helps a little

Steve

Hi Steve,
Thanks very much for that.. it helps a Lot , not a little.. heh...
Just to clarify I'm not transferring from one database to another.. I have a new website.. first one... and have a csv file with a bunch of users to add to the database... so I need someway to get the stuff from the CSV file into the users table.

I'm just a bit stumped when it comes to the password.. the encryption etc... wanted to use the users email as username and password for initial setup... but I suppose I could just give them all the same password originally..

(actually anyone know of a way to force users to change passwords on first login?)

So, dunno what I'd do there...

I think I saw a commercially available script on the JED but can't find the damn thing again now.. heh.. :(

Anyway, thanks for the warning about tables getting dropped like that... I;d have been in tears.. heh heh...
Is fireboard a bridged program ?

I'm actually a little more confused now.. I read around a bit and found this:
http://help.joomla.org/component/option,com_easyfaq/task,view/id,197/Itemid,268/

Which says "If importing, make sure that each user must have a record in the following tables: jos_users jos_core_acl_aro jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map (assuming that jos is your prefix) Passwords should be encrypted, i.e. in Joomla! 1.0.x md5(password). "

Which would suggest that its a bit more complicated than just putting records into the user table...

I finally found a component: http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,2826/Itemid,35/
and think I might go with that as the safest option...

Vida

Link to this post 22 Jul 08

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

jos_core_acl_aro jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map

Link to this post 22 Jul 08

Ehm,
I'm only going on the web page sayin the info relates to joomla 1.0 ....but that could just be inaccurate too...
I'll defer to your superior knowledge on that one..

Says it needs a module but when I load the folder Joomla finds the component but not the module...?

Link to this post 24 Sep 08

umm?

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

Thanks

Richie

Link to this post 24 Sep 08

The add say there is both a component and a module but when I down loaded the file I can't see a mod file and Joomla can't find it either...

Link to this post 24 Sep 08

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

Link to this post 24 Sep 08

Oh ok, so I don't need the module to use it now?

Link to this post 24 Sep 08

Ok, I have loaded the component. I set it up as a menu to component. I get no parameters and no way to set categories or sections!!! I am using Joomla 1.0xx

I don't want to post my site here but you can contact me at david@dalserve.com and I will give the url to you to check out...

Link to this post 24 Sep 08

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

I've just installed Ninja Super Submit and at first thought this was the answer to having non-technical users adding content to one of my sites, but the image resize feature is not working properly.

All images are resized to 100px despite the setting being 300px and when the image is uploaded to the server the image's name is changed so it can't be read.

IE - If I upload sabre.jpg the filename is changed to Dec311969193438sabre.jpg

I'm a bit baffled and would appreciated any help.

Link to this post 12 Jun 09

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.

Link to this post 12 Jun 09

1. I understand the need for the software to rename the files, but it isn't telling itself what the new filename is, but tries to use the original filename.

2. Yes, it is trying ot use the { mosimage} tag.

Link to this post 13 Jun 09

looks like a definite bug

it should be updating the name

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

Richie

That's great.

If it's any help, I'm running Joomla! 1.0.15 Stable on a Linux server.
