[CLOSED] Save button for public on frontend ? 24 Oct 2011 21:46 #332

Kevin	I have a form for a local fishing competition and would like the public to be able to fill it in without the need to register. How do I get the save button to show for public users in joomla 1.7. I can only see options to set access levels to the link in my main menu, but this just sets if the link shows or not.

Kevin	Seems the permissions can be set to an article, but I cannot see a way to set to permissions to a layout from my component because I only have settings for the menu link. Is this something that needs to be added to the code?

Kevin	OK Got it thanks griiettner, I was trying to add it to the list instead of the item by mistake. Button is there but I still have the issue. "You don't have the rights to Save" appears. I am trying to allow public users to save their record without registering.

There is a little bug here.

In your controller, function save()

Replace

if (!$this->can('core.edit', JText::_("JTOOLBAR_SAVE")))
	return;

// Check for request forgeries
JRequest::checkToken() or jexit( 'Invalid Token' );

$cid = JRequest::getVar( 'cid', array(), 'post', 'array' );
$post	= JRequest::get('post');
$post['id'] = (int) $cid[0];

By

// Check for request forgeries
JRequest::checkToken() or jexit( 'Invalid Token' );

$cid = JRequest::getVar( 'cid', array(), 'post', 'array' );
$post	= JRequest::get('post');
$post['id'] = (int) $cid[0];



if ((((int)$cid[0] > 0) && !$this->can('core.edit', JText::_("JTOOLBAR_SAVE")))
	|| (((int)$cid[0] == 0) && !$this->can('core.create', JText::_("JTOOLBAR_SAVE"))) )
	return;

Corrected for next version

Coding is now a piece of cake
