After the fixing of bug posted days ago, i try to use this module but i can't use the its features.
To explain better I'll expose my project.
I need to:
1) Create Personal Books (as Admin)
2) I have to assign every Personal Books cretaed to users with only permission to "add page to own book"
Unfortunatly... the situation remain the same as in normal book: users are able to add pages to all books or none only dependig by "add page to book" settings permission. "Add page to personal book" permission setting seems to have no effect (the "Make personal" chekbox is correctly activated).
Can You Help me?
Thanks bye!
Dret.

Flying Drupalist commentedYes, this module is currently completely unusable. Please make work, thanks.

jgraham commentedWhat permissions have you assigned to your users?
You should only give 'book_manager' permissions and no 'book' permissions to users that should only be able to add content to their own books. Otherwise the book permissions will trump any book_manager settings.
Also note that if a user has 'book' and 'book_manager' permissions then they will need to check the "make personal" checkbox to limit the node options to nodes authored by the book author.
If this does not resolve your situation please re-open and provide detailed user permissions, and a detailed description of your use-case or user scenario.

Dret commentedI tryed with the new version... but nothing is changed... (for me!)...
You can find in attachment a screenshot of my "Permission area" with all settings...
As you can see only Admin can "Create" and "Modify" Books.
User can only "create child page in personal book"....
The work is organized in this way (this is what I need).
1) Admin create e Book >> make it "Personal" >> Assign the Book property to a "User"
2) User add page only to own book (the ones assigned to him by Admin)
At this moment this operation is not possible... I wish it could become a new feature using BookManager!
Thanks a lot!
Bye!

Flying Drupalist commentedHi, this works for me. But I'm disappointed that you reduced functionality of the book module. Users can no longer directly add new child pages that I select.

jgraham commentedThis is a feature request re-assign personal books to a different user.
Comment #6
bonobo commentedSetting to by design, as this functionality can be achieved using the Book Copy module.
Create a book as a template. Then, users can clone it as their own personal book.
Another way of doing this would be via Views Bulk Operations.
In any case, this would be cruft/duplication as part of the Book Manager.
