Can someone help me locate where I would change the permissions to restrict adding comments to a specific user group I have created. Currently only members or all is supported but I would like to change members to group 10 (in my case)
Thanks for your help in advance,

Ed

Hi bizguy,

For now Permissions to post comment supports “All (include guests)” or “Only member”. I have added the improvement request to the list and we would be rolling this update in next version.

Regards.

Hi MoonSailor:

Thank you for the information and I will look forward to the update.
If anyone else is looking for a quick fix until the update, I edited the following to accomplish this for myself:
components/com_adsmanager/views/details/tmpl/default_block.php

at line 27 I added:


$user = JFactory::getUser();
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
$query = "SELECT group_id FROM `#__user_usergroup_map` WHERE user_id='" . $user->id . "'";
$db->setQuery($query);
$accessLevel= $db->loadResult();


about lines 133 & 261 I changed:


if (! $isCloseThread) {


to:


if (! $isCloseThread && $accessLevel == 10) {


I needed to restrict access to user access level 10

I hope this helps someone.

Ed
