Access controlled FAQs not shown as popular/latest

[CCTJNII]

I'm using access controls on my FAQs to limit who can view them. However, I'm noticing when I set access controls the FAQ no longer shows in the "Most popular FAQs" and "Latest FAQs" listings. I would like access controlled FAQs to show in these categories, assuming the user has permissions to view the FAQ. I'm assuming this would be a fairly difficult change, can someone advise where in the code the "Most popular FAQs" and "Latest FAQs" listings are populated? I'd like to dig in and see how hard of a change this would be. Thanks.

Hi,

if the user is logged in, the use should see the results. Which version do you use?

2.8.15

My user can view the access controlled FAQ when showing the category, but the "Most popular FAQs" and "Latest FAQs" do not show it.

Hi,

please upgrade to 2.8.18 and try it again.

I figured it out, I had a user control set as well, which cause the following line to reject the row:

Faq.php L1896

Code: Select all

if (!in_array($row->user_id, array(-1, $this->user)) || !in_array($row->group_id, $this->groups))

So the !in_array($row->user_id, array(-1, $this->user)) was causing the reject. I turned off the user ACL and things started working as expected. Interesting, though, that I could view the FAQ with access restricted to a different user_id.

We found that it is easy to give access/view right for an user in a particular category. However, it seems no control to the user to edit a particular category. The edit right seems a common right to edit all categories once it is granted. Is it possible to control the edit right per category? How?

Hi,

it isn't possible currently. If you need that feature, please add a feature request here: https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/issues

Thanks!
