Great job on the plugin...

There is a problem with the user-managment-add.php register plugin function, your missing the "author URL"
which is preventing new user being created.

Otherwise works a treat.....

I try it and when I created one user and save settings, the page has been empty, have not loaded any section..
Also, in the user settings, don't show the default language that I have configured in GS (Spanish).

repeat: great plugin!

• If the 'Pages' page is disabled, a user basically can't access the back end (because this is the page they are directed to upon logging in). Now this may seem redundant because disabling that page for users may be a singular occurance, but if someone is tasked as the Web Developer or Web Designer but the client doesn't want that person to access/change what is on the pages? It would make sense in that instance is they could be redirected to the next tab available (either Files or Theme), but you could argue that it would be a mugs game to disable the 'Pages' page. So perhaps make an option for a 'Starting Page' redirection in the absense of access to the 'Pages' tab.
  
• For plugin developers like juliancc who've made their own tabs for specific plugins (like the GSGallery), there isn't a way to disable access to those tabs. Might be desireable to find a way around this.
  
• This is probably the biggest snag, and it is that the right side panel for links is gone for added users. So if you had someone registered as a Journalist for example, they can't actually access the 'Create New Page' page or any News plugin to be able to start producing content - they can only edit what is already there.

Here are where some 'snags' may come in (depending on what a client might expect):

• If the 'Pages' page is disabled, a user basically can't access the back end (because this is the page they are directed to upon logging in).

Otherwise, what you have at the moment works and it isn't a case of things bugging out - simply refining your plugin's functionality to the best it can achieve Awesome stuff indeed *two thumbs up*

ccagle8 Wrote:Wow, i must say Mike - this is a great job. A few things that I noticed:

1. you hide the top nav links, but the bottom footer links do not hide. I am thinking of adding a class to each one as I have for the top nav links so when you hide ".theme" you hide both. However, this obviously wont be until 3.1 gets released.

2. if you do not have "all" the permissions, you shouldn't be allowed to edit your own permissions. i am assuming that if you have all permissions - you are an administrator.

3. i think to make the user.xml file cleaner - you should make the format like this:

Code:

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<item></item>');
    $xml->addChild('USR', $NUSR);
    $xml->addChild('PWD', $NPASSWD);
    $xml->addChild('EMAIL', $NEMAIL );
    $xml->addChild('HTMLEDITOR', $NHTMLEDITOR);
    $xml->addChild('TIMEZONE', $NTIMEZONE);
    $xml->addChild('LANG', $NLANG);
    $perm = $xml->addChild('PERMISSIONS');
    $perm->addChild('PAGES', $NPAGES);
    $perm->addChild('FILES', $NFILES);
    $perm->addChild('THEME', $NTHEME);
    $perm->addChild('PLUGINS', $NPLUGINS);
    $perm->addChild('BACKUPS', $NBACKUPS);
    $perm->addChild('SETTINGS', $NSETTINGS);
    $perm->addChild('SUPPORT', $NSUPPORT);
    $perm->addChild('EDIT', $NEDIT);

4. Why didnt you reuse the timezone <select> code from settings.php? Check out Line 222 in settings.php
5. To read the system's available languages, you can rip the code from settings.php as well: Line 153
6. .show("slow") and .hide("slow") make the page look sluggish when it really isnt. i would personally prefer just to use the default speed or change it to .slideDown() and .slideUp() respectively


overall - very very nice plugin Mike. I also think that you should add some type of disclaimer within the Extend section explaining that permissions only "hide functionality" not actually "disable functionality" from the end user.

You Do Not Have Permissions To Access This Page

What should i do?

mikeh Wrote:One thing I want to note is that permissions hide the functionality and kill the page if they try to access it directly. They do not only remove the menu items.
