Hello!I'd like to incooperate the tags module in our workflow.
Small description of what I need to realize:
  • every document has a tag
  • different tags go as "cases", meaning that every case has many documents
  • documents go to different categories, because different groups of people have access to those documents
  • therefor every tag / case exists with its several documents only in only one category
My problem: The tag module shows _all_ tags regardless of the fact that some users have no access to those documents. In other words: a specific usergroup is only allowed to see the tags attached to documents they actually have access to. Tags on documents they are _not allowed_ to see should not be displayed in the tag module.
I thought about creating different modules for those different user groups but there is no setting to restrict anything, so I guess it makes no sense to try.

Looks like I need to have an override of the module which checks and displays only tags from documents the user has access to.

How to do that?

Hi Chris,
I see your idea, we will consider this case and improve the Tags module in future Edocman versions
Thanks

Thanks, looking forward to have this new feature.
Until then I modified mod_edocman_tags to only show tags from a specific category.
