pkBlog - a simple MODx blog v.1.4.2 (12 Oct 09)

Two ways that may be worth trying, based on the access control around line 350 of pubKitBlog.inc.php:

1) if you don’t have a lot of web users, make each of them into a group of one, and give each their own edit page with the snippet call restricting access to their own group. (May need to give them their own manage posts page as well, I’m not sure). They can still share an output folder.

2) add some login at that point in the code to compare the editor ID in the item being edited with the logged-in user ID (could move the block of code at 167-170 to earlier so you catch it when re-editing an item).

Thank you for you reply.

1) this it not an option for me, since I hope I will have a lot of webuser
2) I will try this out.

I look in to pubKitBlog.inc.php: why are you doing this on line 201? $userid>0 ? $userid * -1 : 0

// next line inherited from NewsPublisher - adjusts user ID database index for web/manager user

I did once track this down - I think what happens is that web users’ ID numbers are negated when they log in, to distinguish them from manager users with the same ID number. So they have to be made positive again when you store the document. This may also affect the checks you’ll need to carry out.

thanks, I’ll figure it out.

other thing is I want to use PubKit with YAMS. You or anyone have experience with it? So far I can only get to show up the entry form in one language, in the other one it shows a blank page. Any idea?

Hi there:)

Is there a way to send website admin a notification when new document is created? I have made it so that if document is created then it’s not "show in menu" and not seen for site visitors before site admin has moderated it and clicked "show in menu".

Would also like that every new document created from front end would go under 2010->August for example otherwise after one year I have thousands of documents under one folder but that seems too hardcore and I even don’t have idea how that could be done.

Otherwise seems really cool snippet - hope I did good choice when I chose this instead of FDM.

Br,
