Collaborative books, how?
vm - August 16, 2006 - 09:29
I would like to give auth. users access to add pages to a book. (Ofcourse, by user groups would be nice...) Now it seems that only admins can see and edit others books. An auth. user does not see any books, although he has full permissions, i.e. allowed to create a book etc. Do I have to use user access modules? Is there documentation? What have I missed? Did I ruin my database when testing those user access modules? Now I do not have active user access modules such as simple access, taxonomy access etc...
Correct me if i have
Correct me if i have mistaken your question here but in your access control admin panel there should be two options under book module
edit book pages
edit own book pages
Wouldn't setting either of these help ?
Book problem solved, another book question
In the admin section of nodes module "administer nodes" was not checked for auth. users. Now I have to find out, what else auth. user is allowed to do now.
I would like to restrict the edit access to only three auth. users, for example (and admins/moderators) for a book. What do you recommend? I will try taxonomy access control lite. Thanks Desm0n!
OK, book is not a book
I found this thread: http://drupal.org/node/65319
I hope it results into a new book module.
So, what is the difference "edit book page" and "edit own book page"? I could not see any difference.
Book problem not solved!
I have the same problem that vm described above. My authenricated users cannot edit other user's book pages even though the following access control settings are checked for this user group:
edit book pages
edit own book pages
Setting the 'administer nodes' priviledge allows users to edit all types of nodes (including normal pages) which is not really want I want. And unlike for vm it doesn't solve my problem; SOME (but not all) of the book pages are still not editable by authenticated users.
So I think there's a bug. Surely, setting 'edit book pages' for a user group should allow all these users to edit any book page?
thanks,
Bill.
I think it's about input type
I have the same problem (auth users can't edit book) and found out that you have to use "filtered html" as input type for that book page in order to allow user type specified in Access Control to edit the book. Anyone can confirm this?
Update: I think the rationale is - the user who can edit must be able to access the same input format as the original book was written. By default, "full html" is disable from anyone except admin, so I you're admin and create a book using "full html", then none of the user could edit because he doesn't have access to "full html" input format.
The solution is either create book by "filtered html" or allow users to use "full html".
