Component access to Various Backend User Groups 22 Nov 2012 14:08 #5620

I've just discovered that my installed component is visible to Administrators, but not Managers. This is half good half bad since I discovered it while trying to limit certain views from anyone except Superusers.

I've read the Joomla tutorials, but am confused about how to have my component appear in the backend for any backend user, but two of the views should not be visible to anyone except the Super User.

There is an important ACL missing. The simple access for viewing is not available.
You cannot define wich page to acces or not.

You must define it manually.
Code it in VIEW.HTML.PHP at the beginning of displayXxxx()

Hope it helps.
Coding is now a piece of cake

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
