    • Using Articles as Group Home Pages

    Posted by Coeurderoy posts: 1

    I have severall "groups" of users
    Anonymous
    Registered
    ContentProducersA, ContentProducersB, Etc....
    (Editors and Admin)

    A registered User is registered to one (or maybe later more) ContentProducers)

    I would like to have an Article presented as the "welcome page" of each group
    WelcomeAnonymous for the Anonymous users
    WelcomeRegistered for the registered users
    WelcomeContentProducers for the ContentProducers
    ...

    Since access rights are linked to "Subjects" I created one "Subject" for each Group.

    Now if I'm in 1.8.5 I can assign some rights to a Subjet to a group.
    "BUT" I cannot assign a "group homepage" in the group admin because Articles do not have WikiNames, and the full URL doesn't work.

    In 1.9.(last) I can give a full URL as the "group homepage" BUT the code in Subject admin seems buggy since it doesnt offer any rights to assign, and "assigning anyway" generates an error in tiki-objectpermissions.php, since it needs a permission.

    I also do not understand why is there a grouppermission and an objectpermission table in the data base, and when are they used ?

    So am i doing something wrong ? or is there a workaround ?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Same problem here. I use v.1.9 and get the same database error in tiki-objectpermissions.php when I try to assign permissions to an Article Topic.

    As a workaround you can use the {ARTICLE()} or {ARTICLES()} Wiki Plugins to put an Article on a Wiki page and then assign the page as a Group Home Page.
