Re: Rights and Permissions Workgroup

I have been too busy Me too :)
but i like to pick up our working group again.
My suggestion is to combine our very abstract approach with some practical examples so other readers can follow easier.

Here is f. e. the MODx testinstall. Login with username: admin and passw: demo and invesstigate their rights system.

Re: Rights and Permissions Workgroup

Thank you for the link. A quick look was interesting but unfortunately I’m not yet in dual processor mode :-)
I have to look closer after work.

I already thought about sorting and combining our thoughts so far into a well-ordered paper and for example first collect all “scenarios” (and a few more) to get an impression what is needed. And by numbering them we could faster cite how our suggestions affect those practical demands.
What do you think about that?

i agree, seems necessary to order our thoughts a bit before we go on. it is probably easier for us to talk in our language. we could email a bit and post our paper than in english. How about that?

Re: Rights and Permissions Workgroup

Gesundheit!
(sorry I couldn’t help myself)
That word above looked a lot like the sound of a sneeze to me :)

I look forward to seeing what you all come up with. Michael, glad to hear you are slightly above water again. Alexandra, hope you are staying afloat as well.

I would still like to suggest we take a good look at what expression engine has done. And if it would help I can set up a demo site for us to play with for practical examples?

However, TXP is very much its own beast, and I like it that way, so its just fodder.

See you both soon,

M

Re: Rights and Permissions Workgroup

hi Matthew :) excellent (= Ausgezeichnet) seeing you again/back here. I wish you health (Gesundheit) too ;). I would be interested in an EE demosite. It is very helpful to see how other CMS manage.

Re: Rights and Permissions Workgroup

Alexandra,
I will work on getting the EE test site up tonight. I think it may prove helpful in keeping this dialogue rolling. This is a good group. I will drink a Leffe tonight for both of you :) (Jeremie and P, if I drank one for you both as well it would not be healthy, perhaps I will spread them out over the next couple of weeks :)

Re: Rights and Permissions Workgroup

hi Matthew,
sorry for the sneeze-word. Gesundheit (as alexandra explained) is a very welcome wish at the moment because I caught a cold too last week. But I’m already getting better.
And apart from a few german mails for ordering thoughts we will very soon talk english again. And hopefully have an ordered paper for proceeding.

Demosite would be very cool.
and as alexandra said before: excellent seeing you back again here too :)

Re: Rights and Permissions Workgroup

Just came to a fork in the road where I could use permissions by section. Where a staff writer can be assigned a section they can add articles to, so we can create content communities.

Just wondering, would this go into Crockery?

Re: Rights and Permissions Workgroup

HCGTV,
This is is still very much in the beginning phases as I understand it. Saccade and Alex. were working the most diligently in this group, and I think life has gotten to both of them. If the outcome of the workgroup were formulated into an actual proposal, then the devs would have to accept it first to put it into crockery in any form.

I tend to think this is a ways off. :)

You may try Modx or Expression Engine in the meantime :)

Matthew

I’ve thought of using Nucleus CMS, since I know it very well already. Just wanted to get an idea of how long I would have to hold off for, since I’d rather use Textpattern.

I would say that takes another couple of months since there is no proposal yet and if so, it still has to be coded.
