I envision non-admins (Joomla! "publishers" ) uploading documents that can be used by other registered users. That would require two or three things:
1. access by non-admins (not something under //myjoomlasite.com/administrator/)
2. setting the navigation root directory to something NOT related to the Joomla! tree, so they can't muck with the Joomla! contents directly (the usual mode for NX users)
3. User/Group permissions (a la JUGA) would be nice too...

Is this possible? Or, is there a different component I should be looking at?
Thanks.

hi nstone,

NinjaXplorer is too powerful and it would e a security risk to allow it to be accessed by anyone other then super admins.

You can try a few file uploaders here or use the file manager for JCE that you can get as a JCE subscriber.

Hope that helps.

this is actually planned for Ninja Toolbox, the next iteration of NX,

but its going to be a while before you see a version of that

Nice application...

Is there any way to add Super Administrators and Administrators to NX permissions at the same time?

It only works for one type of user, but when I try to modify the admin... file including both groups it became corrupted.

Any advise?

Thanks

Hi angelicabb,

This is not possible at the moment.
Anyone who has access to NX can do anything they want with your website... so you might as well make them Super Admins.

We are considering allowing what you want in Ninja Toolbox, the extension that will replace NX in the next few months.

Kind regards,
Mark

Just as a thought, it would be nice if the Super Admin could specify folder access for lower users. Either attach permission to a folder or create specific exclusions. It would also be great if those permission could be user specific, so a user could be restricted to his/her folder.

Just a thought. When I opened NX, I was surprised to find no configuration settings. Consider a configuration setting that would allow the hiding of folders from the main window. If I have 5 super admins I trust, it would still be nice to make sure they would not be exposed to any harmful folders (or directed to the ones they should care about) unless they took explicit action to change the settings.

Hi neo314,

Thanks, that is a good suggestion and one will consider when we commence coding Ninja Toolbox.

Cheers,
Mark
