Hello,

THANK YOU for the awesome job.
I am a newbie at the html-php-mysql customisations, but with the big help from your forum i have made it.
Now i am stuck.
I need a bit more complex access tree (kinda like j1.6, but i am hopelessly inlove with chrono so i started some j1.5 fiddling).
I have tried various acl extensions but failed "tv style". Dropped that.
I have created 2 usergroups and 2 access levels as described in j1.5 documentation for custom usergroups.
For the access levels to work , they need to be included in /plugins/user/joomla.php .. the "fudge part". And it works, showing menu items according to the custom access level specified. The menu items should trigger the chronoconnectivity tables.
The problem that i have is that the custom usergroups created do not show in the "frontend groups permissions" box and so the tables wont show, and if i select a user from the "per user user permissions" box the chronoconnectivity table still wont show.
It can be a misunderstanding from me of the access level functionality, but i have turned it on all faces and still couldn’t come up with a solution.
I was wondering if you have encountered this issue somewhere down the path or if you possibly have a solution for this.

Again, a big THANK YOU for the great job, and if there is no handy workaround for this situation i will INTENSIFY my prayers that you make the push to j1.6.

Best of luck,

Hi lorelainerv,

This is outside my experience :-(

You can just set the ChronoConnectivity permissions to 'ALL' and then add code in the ChronoConnectivity Header box to check the User's Group and redirect them if you don't want them to have access.

Thank you,

I will rethink my access tree strategy and do it so (header redirect) and for that you have posted code in other posts that i have seen.

Best regards,

hello,

I have upgraded to 1.7 from 1.65 with joomla update and now my "registered user" access menu items will not show when setting permissions to anything above public. They will show when set to public. I check permissions of another site I have that is working fine and all is set the same.

Any ideas?

Hi Fooolio ,

ChronoConnectivity is only released for Joomla! 1.5. It may partially work in 1.6/1.7 but there were major changes in the user group code in Joomla! 1.6 and this will almost certainly break.
