User-specific gsconfig settings - Carlos - 2013-05-01

After reading this thread I thought it would be useful to have a very simple, small plugin that lets you define user-specific gsconfig settings (for the editor).

Download (Extend)

You can set user-specific or default settings for GSEDITORTOOL, GSEDITORHEIGHT, GSEDITORLANG and GSEDITOROPTIONS in gsconfig.php.
These settings work the same way as GS default ones but:
- for user-specific settings, append an underscore plus the user name (e.g. GSEDITORTOOL_name)
- (optional) to define default values for all users, append an underscore to the setting (e.g. GSEDITORTOOL_ instead of GSEDITORTOOL)

Note: normal default gsconfig settings for those values must be disabled (removed or commented out, with a # at the beginning of the line) for this to work. If not, they will override the specific ones.

Examples:

Advanced editor for user name1:
Code:
define('GSEDITORTOOL_name1', 'advanced');

Advanced editor for all users, except name1 and name2, that will have the basic one:
Code:
define('GSEDITORTOOL_', 'advanced');
define('GSEDITORTOOL_name1', 'basic');
define('GSEDITORTOOL_name2', 'basic');

UPDATE
Since version 0.3 you can use other gsconfig settings: more info

RE: User-specific gsconfig settings - Carlos - 2014-08-14

Since GS 3.3.0 this plugin doesn't work.
Here's an updated 0.2 beta version, adapted to work with GS 3.3.x too.

RE: User-specific gsconfig settings - Carlos - 2014-08-16

Version 0.2 uploaded to Extend.
Now compatible with GS 3.3.x

RE: User-specific gsconfig settings - Carlos - 2014-08-23

Version 0.3 available in Extend.

Now you can define specific user values for other gsconfig settings (for backend/administration), not only GSEDITORTOOL, etc.

You must specify those you need to use with the new USERCONFIG constant, between quotes and separated by commas and/or spaces.

For example:
PHP Code:
define('USERCONFIG', 'GSDEBUG, GSNOHIGHLIGHT, GSSTYLE, GSNOVERCHECK'); 
will allow defining user-specific values for those settings, e.g.:
PHP Code:
//debug mode enabled only for user 'admin2':
define('GSDEBUG_admin2', true);

//Fred doesn't like syntax highlighting in the theme editor:
define('GSNOHIGHLIGHT_fred', true);

//Automatic check for GetSimple updates disabled for all users except 'admin1':
define('GSNOVERCHECK_', true);
define('GSNOVERCHECK_admin1', true); 

USERCONFIG can also be used for other plugins' gsconfig settings (e.g. News Manager's NMIMAGEINPUT, NMIMAGEDIR)

Note that there are several gsconfig settings that should not be used with this plugin, as they are general site (and not user-specific) settings - e.g. GSADMIN

RE: User-specific gsconfig settings - shawn_a - 2014-08-23

What hook are you using ?

RE: User-specific gsconfig settings - Carlos - 2014-08-23

It uses the 'header' hook. (I may change to 'common' so that it works for the frontend too.)

Note that this plugin does no magic: normal default gsconfig settings for those custom values must removed or commented out for this to work. If not, they'll be ignored.

RE: User-specific gsconfig settings - stwneu - 2015-04-28

I used the way described in your first post to assign a special CKEditor layout (custom-made) to one user and it's working just fine! But somehow this interferes with news-manager, where the CKEditor doesn't load at all anymore.
What did I do wrong? Thanks for your great plugin! Smile

RE: User-specific gsconfig settings - Carlos - 2015-04-29

Can you post your custom gsconfig setting?

Of course. Please ignore the comments Wink

Default settings must have an underscore as a suffix, so it should be:
Code:
define('GSEDITORTOOL_', 'editor1');
