Hi Tuan,

any progress?

Hi

As replied via email (from last night), please make my account become super admin. I need to install a file manager component to edit code directly on that test site (and check, make sure the SEF settings is correct, too).

Tuan

You was superuser since yesterday ...not anymore...because I can't allow you to install a filemanager. this is a Productionserver with several Websites running. You know, security....

We have to find another way. I can assure you that other extensions which are using SEF are running correct on the server of this provider. In your case, the only option set is SEO friendly URL on...and you can't make anything wrong with it because you can only enable or disable it.

What if I setup a test site on our server and then we can check it together directly on our server ?

Regards,

Tuan

Or maybe :

1. Give me an FTP account which can only access to componets/com_edocman folder.

2. Make the account become super admin account but rename com_installer so that I can install any extra component

That should be the easiest way !

Tuan

We take option 1 then. Give me 5 minutes

Received the information. Thanks Frank !

Hi

Checked and found the error. For some reasons, when parsing the variables in router, there is some special characters entered. That only happens some server.

I edited the router code alitle . Change the code from :

parse_str($queryString, $vars);

To

parse_str(html_entity_decode($queryString), $vars);

And It works well now. Could you please check it and confirm ?

Tuan

Yes, this is it. Then it's time for a bugfixed version.

Then I have 2 suggestions, an option to disable the upload button in frontend and a back link at the subcategory/document level.

Excellent support from you, thx.

The upload button will only be displayed to users from the group has Create permission. I guess you are loggin in as super admin account (or maybe you give registered users Create permission) and that's the reason the button displayed.

For your case, I think you can go to EDocman -> Dashboard, click on Options button in the toolbar, Choose Registered group, set Create permission to Inheritted so that registered users won't be able to upload documents.

Also, please note that permissions is inheritted through the whole system . So basically :

1. You just need to change permission as I explained above (go to EDocman -> Dashboard, click on Options to change settings).

2. When you create categories, documents, unless you need a different settings, don't change any permission settings so that It will inheritt all permissions which you made in Configuration.

Hope it give you some clues about it.

Permissions in Joomla is flexible but sometime, it is confusing and difficult to understand .
