Hello Seblod users and members,
I try to get bool/false answer for the logged in user for right to edit special item(s) from CCK / article.
Could someone lean me a hand how to get it worked? I do not understand, how the CCKAccess()->check() function can be used used (from /libraries/cck/joomla/access/access.php)
/** * Method to check if a user is authorised to perform an action, optionally on an asset.
* * @param integer $userId Id of the user for which to check authorisation.
* @param string $action The name of the action to authorise.
* @param mixed $asset Integer asset id or the name of the asset as a string. Defaults to the global asset node.
* * @return boolean True if authorised.
* * @since 11.1
*/
public static function check($userId, $action, $asset = null)
//end from lib
//my last try for today :-)
$userId = JFactory::getUser()->id;
$test2 = new CCKAccess();
$test3 = $test2->check($userId, 'core.edit','83');
var_dump($test3);
//output is always NULL
I tried some stuff without success. How could I retrieve the assetid and should action be 'edit', 'core.edit' or sth else? Or do I maybe chose the totally wrong function to get the edit state for a particular article he is watching?
Or could anyone provide an example based on one article?
Thank you,
Pierre.
As you can see in method signature it is a static function yo you need to use it like this CCKAccess::check(...)
No sure why this exists although, it is the same as joomla access check method, probably for compatibility with older joomla releases.
Thank you, Klas.
Oh my, such a noob one^^
For the others who also need a php solution, easiest way is the Joomla! core solution:
[code php]
$art_id = $cck->getValue('art_id');
$user = JFactory::getUser();
$userId = $user->id;
$canChange = $user->authorise('core.edit','com_content.article.'.$art_id);
var_dump($canChange);
[/code]
Regards,
Pierre.
