Comments and registered users

[Fabien]

Hello,

On my blog [2.0 ], only registered users can post comments, but they cannot post new entries. They belong to a group names "Members" with no other authorization.

With 1.6, my previous version, when they logged in, they saw a screen with only two options : "Go to weblog" and "Log off".

With 2.0, they saw a screen with the last comments published and the entries that are not yet published. And a lot of buttons that they can click but that do nothing. It's very confusing. Can I do something to have the same display that in 1.6?

Have a nice day,
Fabien

Hi Fabien,

you are right, we need to cover this case. I've opened a issue ticket for this (https://github.com/s9y/Serendipity/issues/299) and we will address it!

Thank you!

Apparently, you have already solved the problem! Impressive! Can I do something to correct this on my site (and only this).

Thanks.

Hi Garvin,

I have seen on GitHub that the only file you modified to correct this problem was \include\admin\overview.inc.php. So I modified my blog with the new version of this file.

Apparently, it doesn't work, BUT you write that you use the "no_create" rather than "right_publish". I know where is the "right-publish" option in the administration and in the databased, but where is the "no_create"?

Thanks,
Fabien

Hi Fabien!

Sorry for not posting back here yet, just wanted to do this.

Actually, a second file was changed which is more important: templates/2k11/admin/overview.inc.tpl - make sure you have that.

The "no_create" Option can be set when you edit USERS (not groups) individually, it reads like "Forbid creating entries", and this can be set through the adduserplugin when you only want frontend users. I suppose you already have that enabled (else you would see more links in the backend of s9y 1.7!)

HTH,
Garvin

Hi Garvin,

"Sorry for not posting back here yet."
Oh yes, I am very disappointed. I hoped to have the answer before asking the question. As you do usually.

All joking aside, it works perfectly. Many thanks.

Gratefully,
Fabien
