Chronoforms in backend visible for "managers"

hekla 18 Nov, 2015
Hi

first of all, thank you for Chronoforms!

I have a co-worker with backend access as "manager", and only the permission to see what she needs so edit.

My question: how can I make chronoforms visible to a "manager". I couldn't figure it out.
In the configuration I have only the option "Configure ACL & Options " an none for "Access Administration Interface", "Create", "Delete", "Edit" like in other extensions.

Thank you.

Hi hekla,

Sorry, I've never tried to do this - my impression was that ChronoForms was accessible to anyone with Site Admin access.

Hi Bob

thank you for your answer.

my next question in this case:
Is it somehow possible to make it visible to a manager?
Also a manual change in the MySQL DB or other hacks would be ok.

Hi hekla,

I had a look at the Joomla! docs but could not find any way to set access for a single component - but I may not have found the right info. You can give access to all components from the setting Global Configuration > Permissions > Access Administration Interface > Allowed

What do you need this user to be able to do?

Hi Bob

We have a registration form with event dates and the has to update them ...

Anyway I found a solution (hack):
I compared the entries of two DB with where I had an other component 1) visible and 2) invisible for managers.

What I found out: the different entries were located in the table "jprefix_assets" in the column "rules".
So I went to the row for com_chronoforms5 and in "rules" there is:
{"core.admin":[]}

The other component where the manager has the permission to see it there was:
{"core.admin":{"6":1},"core.manage":{"6":1},"core.create":{"6":1},"core.delete":{"6":1},"core.edit":{"6":1},"core.edit.state":{"6":1},"core.edit.own":{"6":1}}

So I copied the second entry of rules in the one of chronoforms – now it works, it is visible to the manager

I also found two articles in docs.joomla.org which might be of interest for this topic:
https://docs.joomla.org/Adding_ACL_rules_to_your_component
https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Developing_a_MVC_Component/Adding_ACL/en

Thank you

Hi hekla,

Thank you. I looked at some of the user settings and tables but didn't find that.

Thank you so much for the solution, Hekla!
I just had the same question and your little database supplement worked for me as well.
