Hi all,
I posted this as a bug (maybe I should/shouldn't have before asking here), but I'm pretty sure it is a bug. (
http://tracker.modx.com/issues/9152)
After getting my head around the whole context thing and getting it working, I've hit a snag, which I'd consider a little annoying/big.
Problem:
When logging in as a "client" (with only access to an assigned context), I go to hit New Document on the toolbar.
and get sent to a URL: server.com/manager/index.php?a=55
I get:
Error!
context_err_nf
You may think this is a simple permission error right?
But, if I right click on the context, or an existing document in the tree list and choose create X, I get sent to a different URL:
server.com/manager/index.php?id=0&a=55&class_key=modDocument&parent=0&context_key=contextname
and it works fine.
I just thought if I've got clients using this, then all toolbar links should work correctly.
Nothing shows up in the Modx logs of problems either.
It works fine as an admin who can see all the contexts - as expected.
I originally tried this on 2.2.5-pl, and upgraded to 2.2.6, and it's still there. It's a bit weird.
The other thing, if I assign the 'web' context to the user's group, I get the default "web" context showing and the assigned context - and it works. But, I don't want the client to be able to see or edit the 'web' context - only their assigned own area.
So basically the big picture here is have multiple contexts, and allow clients to log in and only see the the context assigned to them, so they can edit and create content. From there, use their context front ends as the front end for apps/websites.
Thanks in advance.
-Steve
