selected categories journalist - only show allowed category

[fg]

ok this should be a hard one



anyway, when a selected journalist who is only allowed to add news to limited categories goes on the news page he see's all the categories, but the ones he can't post to are grayed out. Any way to only show him the allowed catergories ?



and second, how resource intensive is this script ? is it optimized for high traffic ?



thanks

Open inc/plugins.inc.php and find this:

Code: Select all

return 'disabled';

change it to this:

Code: Select all

return 'style="display:none"';

and find this:

Code: Select all

if ($category = category_get_tree('&nbsp;', '<label for="cat{id}">

and change it to this:

Code: Select all

if ($category = category_get_tree('&nbsp;', '<label [php]multicats({id})[/php] for="cat{id}">

I can't tell you from experience because I don't have a high traffic page. But I can tell you that it is far superior to the original Cutenews. The database (MySQL and even txtSQL) is way faster, and the whole script is optimized to reduce the number of database queries. And of course there is the cache which saves database queries, too.

Hello,

that works fine. but the other problem is, in the Category list they show up again. I tryed a lot with that code in etc.php and show.inc but I didn't succeed. Could someone help?



the next is to exclude them from search and calendar for the members who do not have the right login rights. Then it would be perfect (for me) I think.

So who's the genius that redesigned cutenews? Was it that guy you mentioned before FI-DD?

Don't know why you chose this topic to ask a question about the other but yes, lexa created it.

[scottdallas]

you're right i have no idea either... i will choose better in the future.. i was just thinking it after reading about all the speed optimization and got carried away.. cause that's impressive

Has there been a fix for this yet?

Not possible because you only can restrict by user (which means you need to be logged in). As soon as you are logged out you will see everything in category view or search.

one thing I don't understand about this is.. it works and they no longer show up in the category list for 'writer' status.. but how can i set categories that only specific writers can see specific categories? right now im able to add to 0 categories. like how do i make it so i can be like



Category name: Products

Category for user: scodal



?



update: nevermind this.. i must have been out of my mind when i wrote this

[sudip]

Thank you very much FI-DD.. You Rock..

Very nice, havn't seen this one, and yes, the code just makes
the categories invisible so there will be blank spaces, if anyone
wants to try make the spaces smaller, I have some suggestions
for you to try:

In the first change:

Code: Select all

return 'style="display:none"';

Try add this maybe:

Code: Select all

return 'style="display:none;font-size:1px;width:1px;height:1px;"';


Tell me if that works somehow, if not we can try something else.

[marcusmagalhaes]

not working!!!!! thank you....

Ok, hmm try this maybe:

Code: Select all

return 'style="display:none;font-size:0px;width:0px;height:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;z-index:-999;position:absolute;"';


Or this:

Code: Select all

return 'style="display:none;font-size:0px;width:0px;height:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;margin-bottom:-20px;"';


Or this:

Code: Select all

return 'style="display:none;font-size:0px;width:0px;height:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;float:right;"';


Or maybe this:

Code: Select all

return 'style="display:none;font-size:0px;width:0px;height:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;position:absolute;left:999;"';


Just some css ideas, tell me if one of them works.
