Hi,

I just installed the Static HTML Pages Plugin.
Now I want to hide the menu entry in the admin panel for every non administrative user.
But in the groupadministration is missing the checkbox to allow/disallow tue static pages.

Is there a way to add this checkbox manually or to remove the menuentry hardcoded for non administrative users?

thanks so far
greetings

Hi!

Yes, the staticpage plugin currently does not interface with the serendipity group management.

You can only remove that link by forbidding the event "backend_sidebar_entries_event_display_staticpages". You can do that by entering the group configuration, and selecting this event in the list of forbidden events for the usergroups that should not have access.

Hello,

I have the same problem and try to apply the solution you explained but inside the admin group configuration I couldn't find seach option (excude an event or made it forbidden for a specific group). All the possible choice are related to normal admin suite menu.

As workaround, I was thinking to specify the admin user as the only one having permission to use this event (this is possible via the module to manage the event plugin installed). I can choose it via the drop down box but when I click to register the change after the system process it, the choice still stay to all autors (so impossible to change it)

Do you have an idea of where the problem is ?

thanks in advance for your help and best regards

Hi!

Which s9y version are you using? Check your s9y configuration screen, there is an option where you can specifically enable or disable if you want the "exclude plugins/event" option...

The dropdown in the plugin admin actually only changes the owner of a plugin. plugin ownership is only evaluated by the HTML nugget plugin, where that plugin can only be configured by that owner.

HTH,

Hi Garvin,

The version is Serendipity 1.0.2 et PHP 4.4.8, I was installed by default (in French) by my provider.

I check the configuration of the Blog but nowhere I could find the option you mention. Items are only to configure the DB, the path, images, etc..

Thanks again for your help

Your Serendipity version is older than the option. You'll need to install (I believe) at least 1.2. Since we're up to 1.3.1, that would be even better.

If you have FTP access, you can upgrade Serendipity yourself. Just download the version you want, unarchive it, and FTP the files on top of the existing ones. Then visit your admin page to complete the process in one click.

If you don't have FTP access, we'll be happy to talk with your hosting service and offer to help him upgrade his version.

[Edit: I'm not sure any of us speak French...]

The serendipity version you are using is REALLY old. You should consider upgrading to the latest version. I am not sure when the ability to grant/deny access to event plugins was introduced into serendipity, but set this to "yes":

Configuration -> General Settings -> Enable Plugin ACL for usergroups.

Then check the user groups again.

Hello and Thanks Don & Judebert for your help.

I was in touch with my provider who tell me I can do the upgrade myself ... and I will try.
1. via Ftp, I will first make a backup of my current installation (folder serendipity +all subfolders) ... just a security in case !!!
2. upgrade to the lastest version 1.3.1

I already dowloaded the ZIP of the lite and full version and unzip them.

A last question : which version the Lite or the Full should I FTP on top of my current one ?

Thanks again for you help and meilleur bonjour from Belgium

Since you already downloaded both versions, go ahead with the full version as it will give you updates to any templates that have been changed or added since your original version.

Thanks don,

I will do it.
