Changing the owner of an article

dingoboy · 2007-01-31 14:06:05

I need to make a number of articles, posted by my publisher user, editable for a user with freelancer privileges. Thus I’ll need to make the freelancer owner of these articles, I presume.

How do I change ownership of articles?

If there’s no way to do this specific task – is there another way around this problem then? (Via PHPMyAdmin for example?)

I would really appreciate any help on this one, fellas, as it is for work.

there used to be a plugin which could do what you are asking for but its name escapes me. Articles are saved in the “textpattern” table where the article “owner” is also saved.

Oh, must be http://textpattern.org/plugins/448/ajw_admin_workflow ?

Thanks! I’ll try it out.

There is a plug-in…

Or you can do it by editing the permissions of freelances…

All

in TxP 4.0.4 you can do it from the content > articles tab…

check off the article(s) of interest in the right-hand column
scroll to the pick list called “with selected :” at the bottom of the page
choose “change author” and pick the person you want to assign them to.
hit the go! button.

Easy as that.

You’ll still want the plugin if you want to re-assign authors from within the individual article edit screen.

you’re a genius!

I still have a problem with this. (Am I the only one?)

The change owner thing works like a charm in 4.0.4 – no complaints here.
However, when I try to edit the changes article with my freelance user, there is no save button! Weird… I’ve ponced around with this for a while now, and I can’t find any solution.

Freelancer owns freelance article (originally created by Publisher), but is not able to edit it. Why?

Please help.

Another way is to change the permissions in admin_config.php

The current version is incompatible with 4.0.3.
Is there a repository to obtain a previous version of a given plugin from?

Of course I could just change the users’ privileges, but the thing is: I only want them to be able to edit their own articles, more or less. So the freelance status is somehow appropriate.

I can’t figure out, why I cannot save an article with one user, when this user has been made owner of the particular article. Just doesn’t make sense.

Is it a bug in the plugin?
