Description
At the moment, TinyMCE uses the profile assigned to the lowest role ID that a user is a member of. This means that if you assign a basic profile to the authenticated user role and a more powerful profile to a more privileged role, users who are members of both roles will see the profile assigned to the authenticated user role.
I thought about reversing this and showing the profile assigned to the highest role ID that the user is a member of, but roles are not always added in order from least privileged to most privileged. So a way of specifying the priority of profiles is needed.
#1
Here is a patch to allow profiles to be prioritized.
#2
I missed an SQL query that needed to be changed. Also added an update to the install file.
#3
How does that compare to? http://drupal.org/node/60667
Like to see a consensus before this goes in.
#4
Why not simply do it in reverse role ID order, and then hook into the role weights module (if it's installed) if additioanl control is needed?
#5
It was considered, but there was no logical relation between role ID and privilege levels on sites with multiple roles.
#6
+1 for this approach
#7
Let me clarify ... +1 for the approach that Darren is suggesting.
#8
Alternative patches are available in duplicate issue 60667.
#9
I look forward to seeing this implemented (without patching) in a stable release of TinyMCE. Any idea when that might happen?
#10
And I would very much that the specialists would come to an advice whoich patch we ought to use now, while waiting, waiting for Tiny MCE to solve it finally. I have read the debate and I do not know what to do now.
Thanks
