Front End User and Page editor integration
Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2009 9:45 am
Integration of the intranet in the page editor
Current situation
When we want to set-up an intranet in CMS Made Simple I do the following:
• Use of the module Front-end-user to define groups and users
• Use of the module Custom Content to show the correct content for a user
While for the admin-user it is difficult to use the Custom-content code, we build several templates that include the code to make the data available only to the allowed users
Problem
When there are multiple user groups the number of templates becomes rather larger and the flexibility is low for distinguising which front end users have access to certain pages
Solution
I would like to add functionality to the page editor that does the following
• Check box
To indicate if the page is an internet page or an intranet page
• Selection list (like the page editors)
To indicate which front end user groups have access to the page
Questions
• Who can make this functionality?
• In a way that it conforms to the core?
