Is there hope that this level of admin rights can be added to TxP native?

Hi Giovanni,
which level? Sorry I don’t understand your request…

edit
Ah ok, now I see your other post. But, again, I can’t answer your question because I’m not a developer.

Hi redbot, after installing the plugin and clicking ‘Install’ in the bot_privs tab in Extensions, I just see this:

bot_privs upgrade

bot_privs must be upgraded. Use the button below to add the new fields to the preferences table.

with a button ‘Upgrade’. But nothing happens if I click it, any idea what the problem could be? Using v. 0.3.2.

Hi Els,
I’m not playing with this plugin from a lot of time so I don’t remember perfectly his inner workings.
Anyway is there any chance you installed it before (maybe with an older txp version) and than removed it without following the uninstalling procedure (which removes the bot_privs table)?
If you don’t see an uninstall button can you try to delete the table in phpmyadmin and see if it changes something (it should)?

This was the first time ever I installed the plugin ;) I don’t see an ‘Uninstall’ button, so I dropped the bot_privs table, and tried to install again. No change… :( It doesn’t add columns to the txp_prefs table, and it keeps telling me that bot_privs must be upgraded.

That’s so strange, can’t find a reason for this.
More specifically, the function which outputs the upgrade message first checks if there is a table called ‘txp_bot_privs’.
If it is true, then checks again for the existance of the entry ‘file.edit’ in the ‘pref_name’ column.
This is because this privilege was added with txp 4.2 so, if such an entry doesen’t exist, it implies the table was created with a previous version and the upgrade message appears (I hope its clear enough).
So in your case it detects the existance of the table but can’t find ‘file.edit’ entry. It seems like you are trying to install it in a pre-txp4.2 site, which of course is not the case…
Just out of curiosity, do you see entries such ‘file.edit’ or ‘image.edit’ in the ‘txp_bot_privs’ table?

OMG, this is embarrassing… I must have forgotten to upgrade this particular site, it’s still on 4.0.8 :( I’m really sorry that I wasted your time!

(…rushing off trying to become invisible, and to upgrade…)

;-)

BTW if you don’t want to upgrade you can always use v. 0.2

Just had a need for a Staff Writer to see the Links tab in TXP 4.0.8 – and bot_privs v0.2 did the job perfectly.

Thanks.

just played with this plugin. I would love to be able to selectively hide nav items. That in the cards?
