Extension: Restrict Entries (to Member Groups or Guests)

does this currently or is it possible to get this extension to work with the gallery module? have the ability to restrict access to galleries or gallery categories would be great.

Great extension. This is just what i needed to preview stuff on the site, and not let others see it. Thanks so much!!

Drylouvre,

It appears LG Better Meta and Restricted entries don’t play well together. When I enable Better Meta and create or edit an entry - the groups tab (restricted entries) doesn’t function properly. If you click the Groups tab, it disappears. You have to refresh the page it comes back. If I disable the LG Better meta tool, restricted entries works again. I have added a message to the LG Better meta thread.

Hey this one is my fault… http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/69715/#366231

This has now been fixed… Grab 1.4.2 from the LG Better Meta documentation page.

Great extension. This is almost exactly what I have been looking for, although - like Mark - I need it to work the other way round. I have a lot of member groups, but only one or two will be granted access to each entry.

Also I think I’d need Quick Save to work before letting clients loose on it.

Anyway, I’d be happy to pay real money for these features, Drylouvre. What do you say?!

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed reply. It’s great that you are finding this useful. Rest assured that we haven’t forgotten about this and we are working on a much improved version based upon Mark’s request especially but including others as well. We have to do this around other work but we’ll get something out as soon as we can.

Cheers

Hi Dry,

Wow my name is getting mentioned a lot in this thread! 😉 I do hope I haven’t caused any extra work for you? If I have I’m sorry.

Looking forward to any updates on this though.

Best wishes,

Mark

What’s wrong with extra work? 😉

Well when it’s non-paid work. 😉

I am using the extension on a site which also uses Category Checkboxes (v.1.1.3). thread here Strangely, whenever the latter is enabled, I get the following new element under “options” tab (both edit and publish, only for weblogs enabled under RE settings)

Choose the weblog that you wish to restrict entries in.
[dropdown containing weblogs]

The dropdown updates to select the appropriate weblog, from the list of weblogs chosen.

Any idea why this may be happening?

I don’t use Category Checkboxes but I’ll install it and have a look at what has happened.

Cheers

Wow, what a sweet extension. Nice work! The interface is great.

Hmm. Is there any chance this can work with

• SAEF (stand-alone entry forms?)
• Form Helper (the edit module for SAEF, produced by Solspace?)

So that (either in hidden fields or ones a user has access to) viewing permissions could be added?

Cheers

R o B

Something to be aware of for the plugin - the field that stores group restrictions is varchar(100). Ran into an error when I tried to set restriction for more than 7 groups: “Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 96” - the field truncated serialized permission groups.

On client site, we have 21 user groups! Updated field to “text” type (even varchar(255) would have been too short), all works ok.
