[opencms-dev] OpenCMS 8 - Permissions

[gnorrus at libero.it]

Hi
Thanks for your reply

I will try to do that. 

However I read the tutorial of OpenCMS where header and footer are created in 
that way, but is not explained how to avoid editors modify them.
If I remove view permission, editor can view the header (or footer) anyway? 
can he drag & drop to another position?

My header and footer are of default type "header and footer configuration", 
and are not part of a group container (my template is similar to the tutorial 
template where header & footer are not in group container). so I ask why these 
parts are updated automatically in all pages that use that model page and other 
resources in the container are not. If header and footer were inside a 
groupcontainer they shouldn't be updated automatically when edited in the model 
page.

I have other questions:

I know that is possibile to use <cms:contenload> also in OpenCMS 8.

I have a template where in the top part are some links to internal pages. I 
want these links to be editable by editors.

So I add an include jsp to my jsp template. In this include I want to read the 
content of a resource of type MyLinks (structured content created by me) where 
editor can add links to internal resources. I don't have a container for this. 
I have only a jsp include (because I don't want anyone cut this resource, and 
add another one).

If I use contentload I see all data of the resource but I can't see direct 
edit, even if I have <cms:enable-ade> in my template and editable="true" in my 
contentload.

I can see direct edit only if I have a container in my jsp template and I drag 
& drop that resource in the model page. But in this case the problem is that 
editors can also cut that resource from the page (not only editing). This is 
the same thing of the header/footer. In this case I have to set permission also 
to this resource?

Last question:
I don't understand if I can drag & drop resource inside a group container or I 
have to add them manually by editing the group container resource. I tried 100 
times  but I can't do that

Thanks for your reply

Hi
So the user can modify also header and footer?

It has no sense. The tutorial says to use container for header and footer.
So 
why use containers if user can change header and footer?

Another question. If I use header and footer configuration in my model page 
and then I create a page in my site and then i modify header or footer, all
the 
pages that use that model page are updated automatically (i see the changhes

inside header and footer). If I have another container in my model page and
I 
modify it, other pages that uses that model are not updated. Are header and 
footer config particular elements?

thanks

Hello, 

This is not possible. If a user has write access to a container page, he    
can move or delete elements in all containers.

 
Kind Regards,
