[Revo] Set a Default ResourceGroup for a modResource

Hey,

Situation

I have two different Usergroups. In One group are SuperUser in the another one are the normal Content-Editors.
They both have access to the Mgr and they can both create Content. I want that all content created by the user of the Content-Editors have a speciel default ResourceGroup maybe like "notyetpublic".The SuperUser is able to choose the RG.

Idea:
I tried to do this with the Form Customization Rules but I cant find any hint how I can address ResourceGroup with the Default Value Rule.

Is this somehow possible?

I think you’d need a plugin to do that. The easiest way is to have all the docs created under parent containers that belong to the protected resource group and have the children inherit the resource groups of their parents. IIRC, the NewsPublisher snippet will create docs that inherit their doc group membership from their immediate parent.

Hey BobRay,

thank you for that answer.

For this situation it is not possible do create a Parent with a special ResourceGroup. So, I will go for the Plugin solution.
Modx made it pretty easy to develop plugins and snippets wink

But at first I take a look at the NewsPublisher, but i that a Evo - Snippet

I’m working on a Revo version of NewsPublisher. It’s not quite ready for use, but I hope to have something up in the next week or so.

hey bobray,

for now i just did it like that:

 $eventName = $this->modxInstance->event->name;
        switch($eventName) {
            case 'OnDocFormSave':
                    
                    
                  if($this->properties['mode'] == 'new') {
                    
                    $resourceGroupId = $this->modxInstance->getOption('editorialgroup',$this->properties,'0'); 
                    
                    $resource =&  $this->properties['resource'];
                    $resourceId = $resource->get('id');
                    
                    $newResourceGroupAccess = $this->modxInstance->newObject('modResourceGroupResource');
                    $newResourceGroupAccess->set('document_group',$resourceGroupId);
                    $newResourceGroupAccess->set('document',$resourceId);
                    $newResourceGroupAccess->save();
                  }
                    
                    
                break;

It works perfectly.

Looks good, although the first three lines are unnecessary if you’re only linking it to one event.

Hello traedamatic,

nice script... but it does not work on my website. What do I have to change (which is the resource group name (editorialgroup?). I'm running on Revo 2.2.6

I may be mistaken, but doesn't this line cause problems with some versions of PHP?

$resource =&  $this->properties['resource'];

This is awesome. What about removing a resource from a resource group?

This will remove a resource from a resource group:
$resource->leaveGroup($group);
