Greetings CMS Guru people,

I have a couple of questions for you:

Firstly, can I upload a PDF using the wysiwyg interface? I can't see how at the moment.

Second, my site will be accessed by lots of members who will edit their own pages - is there a way to get an email sent to the admin every time a user logs in and edits their page?

Lastly, I have pre-set up lots of members pages before launch as admin - but I need to now restrict the relevant members to their pages - is there an easy way to do that?

Thanks!

Jim

Hi Jim,

The only one of your questions that I can answer easily is about changing user account restrictions.

It's really easy.

Log in as Admin.

Go to user accounts

uncheck the admin access box.

Change the section access to by section.

Specify which section they need access to and change the permission to "author"

That way they can only access the sections you specify and only see the records that they authored.

If you have a bunch of records that were authored by you, as Admin you can easily change their "author" to the appropriate user by

modifying that record and clicking on the created by "change" link at the top of the record.

You might also want to create a last name and first name field in your user accounts section and change the ListPage Fields that are displayed and the sort to last_name, first_name. That will make it a bit easier to keep track of your users.

Hope that gets you pointed in the right direction.

Best,

Jerry Kornbluth
