Restricted Categories and Sections privileges

How do I do this? I couldn’t find any information about this anywhere:

When a user is logged in to write/edit an article:

- only allowed categories are visible/selectable for certain privilege and above

- only allowed sections are visible/selectable for certain privilege and above

This way different staff writers could have different restrictions to what categories or sections they can publish articles. It’s a really important missing feature from Textpattern.

Sorry found this right after entering my post:

Re: Restricted Categories and Sections privileges

If you can change your goal from “let authors post only spesific sections/categories” to “only show posts by this person” you might get decent results with (in page)

<txp:if_section name="bulletins">
<txp:if_article_list><txp:article_custom author="author-name" /></txp:if_article_list>
<txp:if_individual_article/><txp:article /></txp:if_individual_article/>
</txp:if_section> 

So you kind of ‘fake’ author pages catching article listings and individual articles in that one section.

But no, nothing new under the sun after that thread you already found :(
