Hi
Many thanks for the idea.
I just experimented with this using an access policy with create_document allowed and edit_document not.
When I clicked save on a new resource it took me to a white page with
Error!
Access denied.
Then on manager page refresh it has the item in the site tree but when I click on it there is no access to the edit page as I would have expected.
And when I login as admin I see the unpublished new resource looks okay.
So.... in theory that kinda worked but...
It coming up with "error access denied" on a white page is extremely unfriendly and undesirable.
And the main idea of having an Author is for them to be able to "work on a page": i.e. create, save it, preview, go back and make edits and preview again... repeat until complete.
Then they would pass it to an Editor to publish the page.
So I come back to the same problem.
I need Authors to be able to
edit ONLY unpublished pages.
and to be
blocked from editing published pages
I strongly suspect the MODx system cannot do this out the box.
I would imagne that this would need extra plugin functionality, but I don't know how to approach that.
Does anyone know how to write a plugin that would block a sepcific user group from editing published pages?
cheers
Ian.
