Frontend editing

How is it possible to set user permissions in front end by font end editing?

Hi,
You can read about it through this documentation: edocmandocs.ext4joomla.com/getting-started/edocman_acl
Thanks

Thank you for your quick reply.
I did not express myself clearly. I'm logged in as a super admin in the front end. How can I change the permissions for a document I have uploaded here?
I only want to associate this document with specific user groups. I found the normal form. In this form I can associate one user group. But in back end it is possible to associate more than one user group.

I helped myself. I made an override of the file
/joomla/templates/mytemplate/html/com_edocman/document/edit.php

and made added the language string EDOCMAN_EXTRA_CATEGORY to the site part.

Here the relevant part of my override (line 81 to 170)


<?php
if ($this->catId)
{
?>
<tr>
<td class="edocman_title_col">
<?php echo $this->form->getLabel('category_id'); ?>
</td>
<td class="edocman_field_cell">
<input type="hidden" name="jform[category_id]" value="<?php echo $this->catId; ?>" />
<?php echo $this->categoryTitle; ?>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="edocman_title_col">
<?php echo $this->form->getLabel('extra_category_ids'); ?>
</td>
<td class="edocman_field_cell">
<input type="hidden" name="jform[extra_category_ids]" value="<?php echo $this->catId; ?>" />
<?php echo $this->categoryTitle; ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
else
{
?>
<tr>
<td class="edocman_title_col">
<?php echo $this->form->getLabel('category_id'); ?>
</td>
<td class="edocman_field_cell">
<?php echo $this->form->getInput('category_id'); ?>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="edocman_title_col">
<?php echo $this->form->getLabel('extra_category_ids'); ?>
</td>
<td class="edocman_field_cell">
<?php echo $this->form->getInput('extra_category_ids'); ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
<tr>
<td class="edocman_title_col">
<?php echo $this->form->getLabel('url'); ?>
</td>
<td class="edocman_field_cell">
<?php echo $this->form->getInput('url'); ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php
if($this->config->show_thumb_form){
?>
<tr>
<td class="edocman_title_col">
<?php echo $this->form->getLabel('image'); ?>
</td>
<td class="edocman_field_cell">
<?php echo $this->form->getInput('image'); ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
<tr>
<td class="edocman_title_col">
<?php echo $this->form->getLabel('filename'); ?>
</td>
<td class="edocman_field_cell">
<?php echo $this->form->getInput('filename'); ?>
<?php
if ($this->item->id) {
?>
<span style="padding-top: 3px; display: block;">
<?php
if ($this->item->original_filename) {
echo JText::_('EDOCMAN_FILE').": ";
?>
<a href="<?php echo 'index.php?option=com_edocman&task=document.download&id='.$this->item->id; ?>&Itemid=<?php echo EdocmanHelper::getItemid(); ?>"><?php echo $this->item->original_filename ; ?></a>
<?php
}
?>
</span>
<?php
}
?>
</td>
</tr>

Hi Astrid,
I am understand your idea, at frontend, we don't allow user to have much power to setup access levels for document as in the Backend side. You can open file: root -> administrator -> components -> com_edocman -> view -> document -> tmpl -> default.php and check line: 234 to 265, that code part is used to show the Access level fields when you add/edit document at Backend side. You will also need to update JS code at bottom of that file too
Thanks

Mr. Dam,
I tried the link you had posted in one of your replies, but it came back with an error: edocmandocs.ext4joomla.com/getting-started/edocman_acl.

I also so all the changes suggested by another user, however, I don't want to be changing PHP code. Isn't there a setting in the Global Configuration somewhere?

My issue is only allowing the Administrator privileges to edit my site, but it appears the Public has those privileges too.

Hi Tony,
