Multiple User Management to edit individual reources

Hi, Does anyone know how to set up 10 different resources and link them to 10 users, so that all resources are available to the public for viewing, but only the relevant user can edit the relevant page and nothing else.

Like so:
• User 1 - Resource 1
• User 2 - Resource 2
• User 3 - Resource 3

and so on...

Sorry I have changed the title to make it a little clearer

The easiest way is to create a tree_root_id user setting for each user with the ID of their personal page. They will only see their own page in the Manager.

Do you have any documentation on how to do this?

1. Go to Security -> Manage Users.
2. Right-click on the user and select "Update User"
3. Click on the "Settings" tab.
4. Click on the "Create New" button.
Key: tree_root_id
Name: Tree Root
Description: Whatever makes sense to you
Value: (the ID of the user’s page)
5. Click on "Save"

Repeat these steps for each user.

The user will see only the resource with that ID and its descendants in the tree.

Note that you can use a comma-separated list for tree_root_id (with no spaces in it) to allow the user to see multiple parts of the tree.

:)

Thanks

Wow. I’ve been looking for something like this. I thought you need a plugin to make this possible.

Now to take it a notch up, is there a way to make it in a way that association of a single page to a user is automatic? For clarity,a user signs up and is automatically assigned a single profile page.

Thank you.

Yes, it’s definitely possible. It’s in my not-yet-published book, but is too complicated to explain here.

IIRC, it involves customizing the user profile page to add a tree_root_id field and adding a plugin that listens to the event that fires when that page is saved.

Thanks, BobRay!

I don’t need it just yet. Maybe in 6 months when we open a "tutor’s" profile page for our little ESL website. We currently have 10 tutors which is easy to manage.

I’ll wait for your book!

Cheers,

Neil

Thanks BobRay

That really helped us out, I’ll be looking forward to that book too.

Could you implement something like neil mentioned ’a user signs up and is automatically assigned a single profile page.’

Perhaps for a small fee...
