Hello,
we have succesfully set up Ja Hotspots with needed markers. However, we need to give our client an Joomla Editor access to certain part of the website to manage articles – and need to do that for Hotspots too!

Managing this request via Megamenu only shows the module, do not allow to edit the markers (e.g. change status color from red to orange). So the question is simple – how do we link to a hotspot module with editors access rights, so the logged in editor can edit markers from the frontend – without having a full administrator access to the whole website? Also, we do not need public to edit the markers.

We are using Joomla 3.3.1 with latest Ja Apolio template.

Please reply soon 🙂

br, libor

Anyone from Joomlart staff around and replying?

I am not asking for nothing special, requested frontend module editing for non-administrators is a Joomla built-in since 3.1.x series I guess.

Since Joomlart is both developer for JA Apollio template as well as for JA Image Hotspots, I guess it must be a piece of cake for you guys to reply.

Please do so.

regards,

libor

Hello,

We are sorry about late response.

As you know, Joomla does not provide a feature to edit module on Front-end, it will redirect you to module edit page in back-end.
You can login with user groups that have permission to edit that module, not required Admin group (you can update these settings under Module Permission tab on module edit page).

So in your case, instead of allow user edit markers on front-end, you need assign user to group can edit JA Image Hotspot module in back-end, and they need done it in back-end form.

Dear Dead Code,
thank you for your reply. According to other online tutorials, it is possible since Joomla 3.2 – see http://www.joomla4web.com/226-front-end-module-editing-in-joomla-3-2 for example, or google “frontend joomla module editing” for other examples.

We did not make it work without administrator access level. however it seems to be related to Joomlart JA Apolio template and bootstrap (you must turn on legacy bootstrap for the module editing icon to appear at all). Maybe a bug in that template, maybe something else in T3 Framework, who knows.

Anyway, thank you for your reply.

Libor
