Multiple User Access

MrBlockHaus · 08-10-2005, 12:31 PM

I'm very interested in EasyPHPCalendar, but I'm not sure if it meets the following requirement...

I need three levels of access.

1 - Administrative - Which I see that it does.
2 - User - Can see all events, but can't add anything.
2 - Guest - Can see only the events I allow them to see, not the others, and certainly can't add anything.

Can y'all hook me up?

The current version isn't designed with multiple levels of users so what you're describing isn't possible.

However, this is expected to be in Version 7 which has not yet began production.

Actually, since User and Guest only refer to different levels of viewing, you could do something....

I'm assuming that your page will be displayed in a CMS of some sort... So what you do is setup a condition that if the user is logged in and meeting your "User" requirements, then they see the full listing, but if they're not and are only Guests, then impose a restriction by setting a showCat variable showing only events that are in the categories allowed to be viewed by guests...

It really shouldn't be that hard to setup if you're "fluent" with your CMS.

I'll look into that, thanks.

I assume you're intending that I do that filtering with the CMS, so that the calendar front end is totally unaware of the change. I see no way to mod the PHP calendar, given that it's encoded. Or, am I missing something?

You got it... Well the showCat part of it is with the calendar but it is well described in the docs
