[solved] Backend for Managers?

[Moe479]

Hello,

iam new to joomla 2.5 and so to these nifty acl features allowing fine granulated access to components and component features

i have jcomments 2.3 administration component installed and so far adminstrators and superuser can use jcomments backend part.

but now the need arrise to grant managers access to the backend comment-list, allowing them to edit and/or publish comments via joomla backend as administrators can do.

iam missing on jcomments the button where on a component like com_users can be definded which groups have access to what features of the component?

if accees is atm hardcoded, iam also looking for a quick hack to get jcomments backend for managers running.

hope its the firstime that it was asked but the search didnt find somthing usefull to me.

Hm... I understand you. Indeed we have to add such option...

Quick hack:

1. Open file /toolbar.jcomments.html.php
2. Find code:

Code: (php)

JSubMenuHelper::addEntry(
JText::_('A_SUBMENU_ABOUT'),
'index.php?option=com_jcomments&task=about',
$task == 'about'
);

add:

Code: (php)

if (is_file(dirname(__FILE__).'/config.xml')) {
if (JFactory::getUser()->authorise('core.admin', 'com_jcomments')) {
JToolBarHelper::divider();
JToolBarHelper::preferences('com_jcomments', '600', '800');
       }
}

2. Download attached file and put it to /administrator/components/com_jcomments/

I've updated config.xml and removed access.xml. So now all duplicates are removed
