Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.It seems that import functionalities are available only through the admin interface. Even though I assigned the "import from file" permission to "authenticated users" role, the users having such a role do not see any link and/or menu item for importing files.

mau-it commentedThere's already such an issue for vers. 5.x-1.13 (see http://drupal.org/node/232636):
you must create a "manual" link to "biblio/import/form".
That worked for me with biblio 5.x-1.x-dev and drupal 5.7 but cannot test on drupal 6.
One missing point, IMHO, is that I can set ANY userId for imported entries. I think a non-admin role should be let to use his own userId only.

julou commentedI just tried with 5.x-1.15 and drupal 5.8, and it does not work… Any idea to fix it?
BTW, I am not ready yet to switch to 5.x-1.16 since I use a strongly customized version.
Thank you for your help!

Levet commentedHere is a patch (code needs review) which gives non-admin users the ability to import biblio files provided they have 'create biblio' access rights. The patch alters the biblio.module file (function biblio_menu) and the biblio.import.export.inc file (function biblio_import_form). It also restricts the userid that can be set by the non-admin and sets it to the current users userid - admin options remain intact.

rjerome commentedThanks, I'll look at that and incorporate it in due course. I'm still in vacation mode...

gustav commentedI have attached the patch rolled against the latest code from the 6.1 branch.

rjerome commentedThanks, coincidentally I did more or less the same thing already today.
