Usergroup Selection

I’m not sure where is best to post this so I thought I would put it here!

What I would like to do is allow the creator of a document, control which usergroups can view their pages. I have a signup plugin that creates pages specific to the newly registered member and I was wondering how this user can control which groups can view the pages. I’m using the Frontend Document Manager snippet on these pages so the user can edit their own pages. How can I create a checkbox option with say 2 or 3 group names and the user could check which of these groups the documents are visible to. Basically the same as the manager document group selection idea. Is this possible and easy to implement at all?

Thanks, Ross

It’s possible, if not exactly simple. You can add a field to the form with the checkboxes or whatever, then modify the processing code to assign the documents to the appropriate document group.

Hi Susan,

are you aware of anyone doing this at all?

No, I haven’t heard of anything like that. But it could be done; it’s all in the database, as I am fond of saying.
