Section Privleges

I have just installed textpattern and created all my site sections. What I wanted to know is, is it possible to assign privileges to a user to post content only in specified sections? e.g. with the addition of a mod or plugin?

TXP itself doesn’t support this, but with a plugin it can probably be done. You could hook into the ‘save’ event and abort when a person is not allowed to save to such a section.

Re: Section Privleges

hmm. I guess I could spend the time writing a mod.

I only installed textpattern a few days ago, but I am really impressed with the simplicity and versatility of the system. It really suits my needs in terms of template editing and the way sections are used. But for me it does lack a sophisticated permissions system.

I don’t suppose anyone can recommend similar systems with more granular permissions systems?

My other option is just to create another php app which inserts an article into the textpattern database. Are there any caveats that I should be aware of here? The database scheme looks simple enough.

My main goal is to allow a single user to add content to a single RSS feed and that feed only.

I’m also looking for something like this. I plan on eventually expanding my site to host music by a couple other musicians and I’d like to have it so that each person can only see their own stuff and post in their own section. Stuff like that.

My solution to this is to create a plugin which will display an article edit form, allowing users to submit articles. I saw another plugin which provided versioning. So my plugin will simply allow users to submit a version which can later be marked as ‘Live’ by a site admin.

This will be a total hack job and I have no intentions on releasing the plugin upon the world. However if I have time later I will clean it up.

Would be very interested in your plugin even if it is not yet polished. So if you could share it, I would be yery grateful!
