Restricting Front End Viewing of Records 22 Nov 2016 19:08 #14720

Assuming I want to have users login and see a list of items in their collection. Is there a way to build a front-end page that only lists the records/items assigned to a that specific user?

In a nutshell yes:
Create a field on the table such as created_by and use the author wizard to automate the process.

On the list page, use a filter to pull only the records created by the logged in user.

Warm regards

Although filters are handy to search through data, using them for default views can be troublesome (I found). Depending on how the user is navigating, the filters are sometimes ignored (or forgotten).

If you want more control over the data displayed, fork the model function populateState() with this line...
if (!$acl->get('core.admin')) $this->setState('query.where', array("a.created_by = $userId"));  // Just show own records - unless you are the  admin

  I found "cook" two days ago. Played around with it for a day and then within a day got rid of two legacy applications in IBM Lotus Domino Notes and replaced them with "cook". It was really easy. A piece of cake. Actually it was even easier than cooking. Cooking involves more work than developing with "cook". What can I say about "cook"? Great application great price for what it delivers great forum with a lot of information and fast responses active and friendly community fast forward moving development cycle So what should I say "Monsieur Le Cook"? Keep the good work going it will lead to success. Having become a paying member in the words of Edith Piaf may I say ..... non rien de rien ... je ne regrette rien. Vive La France.
