Geeklog Forums

i want to create a family log type of site and only want certain users to be able to see certain pages. do i need subdomains so that i can password protect them? also, is there a way to force Admin's approval of new users?
i will also be using geek log to run many parts of the site for the k-8 i work for (it becomes more important here; dealing with names and images of the students, and such)

thanks!

That's exactly what Geeklog's permission system is for. Make them all a member of a new group, say "Family", and make sure that all the stories only members of that group should see are also assigned to that group (and that access for Anonymous and Members is disabled).


Enable the user submission queue in config.php.

This doesn't answer the question for me. I have installed the upload.php page. Currently only admin is allowed to use it. I have changed it a bit by putting it in the upload directory and those who upload can only upload to that directory. Now I have created a group called upload and I want only those in the upload group to be able to upload a file using that page. How do I give only those in the upload group premission to use that page?

Not sure what you're talking about - do you mean the file management plugin? That doesn't quite follow the Geeklog permissions model.

Actually, it's called upload.php, I'm not sure where I got it but it's just one file and it goes right into GL. Here take a look, Here

I'm thinking that if I change line 44 from Root to Upload then that should take care of it am I correct?

That's Tom Willet's upload utility. AFAIK, it was meant as a tool for admins. Not sure if it's a good idea to make it available to other users ... You may want to ask Tom.

It seems to work just fine, I tested by changing line 44 to upload instead of Root. Then logged in as a user not in the upload group and it gave me access violation. I then gave the user upload permission and viola it worked. So if I want to give users an area to upload say something like a banner then I can just specify the directory in the script and only users with upload premission can upload.

Thanks for the replies!
