Admin Access: Customising Menu

Hi Greg,

Oh, I thought you meant when adding users in the CMS Builder admin interface!

Nicely done! Glad you got everything figured out! :)

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Chris,

I have setup a new "link" called "Email Alert Settings", under Section Editors and this displays a URL within an inline frame.

I am trying to edit the front-end user account signup file to provide users with access by default to this link from the menu within their cmsAdmin account.

I have inserted the following code into the user signup form PHP file:

($userNum, 'email_alert_settings', '6', NULL, '1234567890'),

However, when I login to cmsAdmin as a regular user and click on the link I receive the following error message:

This section isn't configured to allow 'Author' user access. Ask the webmaster to give you 'Admin' access to this section or create a field called 'createdByUserNum'.

Can you please tell me how to resolve this?

Thank you,
Greg

Hi Greg,

Text Links are a special type of section. They don't have the usual system fields that other sections do. Author access can only be determined if the createdByUserNum field is present, which isn't true for text link sections. In order to do what you want, you'll need to give them editor access to the section. This can be done by using 9 instead of 6.

Hope this helps
