Answered Multiple Media Sources and User Groups + 1 TV

I have a site with many User Groups, for each user group I create a Media Source to restrict each user to only their own folder:

User A:

• Media Source: client-a-uploads assets/uploads/client-a/
• User group: client-a-user-group with Media Source to client-a only

The problem:
My TV (main image) is use by every user group and has the default File System Media Source assigned.
If I log in as User A I am not able to edit the image since it is using the File System Media Source.

How can I use 1 TV for each user group if the user group only have access to their own Media Source?

EDIT:

What I need a solution for is this:

On the Front End I have a detail page with a main stage image TV: stage_img and a MIGX image gallery: gallery_img.
I will have about 30-40 clients that need to be able to login and edit their own detail page only.

They should after login only see and be able to edit their own page and be able to edit the TV's with images from their own image folder.
They should NOT be able to change or see the profile page or images from other clients. [ed. note: ThaClown last edited this post 11 years, 7 months ago.]

This isn't possible.

If the user needs to have access to the TV, wich has the default Filesystem mediasource assigned,
he needs to have permission for that mediasource, of course.

Ok, thanks.

Is there any way then to have one TV used by many User groups, but sill have each User Group have their own folder?

I think you can create a mediasource to a folder, where everyone can have access to.
And give all usergroups access to that mediasource.

Yes, but then all user groups will have access to all files right?

Wow that is great! Thanks so much.

It work except for that the folder created get a permission of 1341 and MODX is then unable to upload images.
Any way to force the created folder to be writable?

which version of MIGX are you using?
Does the snippet look like here:

That was it thanks!

Just one final question.

I have a media source now with this as base_url and base_path


The solution works great on the detail page. like:



The image works, the path is:
assets/gallery/client-a/meeting_room.jpg

But if I use it on a page in a getResources call:

The getResources call:


The gallery_row_tpl:


The path to the image is wrong:
assets/gallery/client-overview/image_001.jpg

How do I use this correctly in a getResources call?

--------- EDIT ------------

I tested usting a MIGX in the getResources tpl:


And now it works fine! But I don't need a MIGX with several images, just one single image TV.

Can I somehow use the &docid=`[[+id]]` in a normal image TV? [ed. note: ThaClown last edited this post 11 years, 7 months ago.]
