Hello, I am trying to hide the access rights and permissions section when a user adds a new topic. The defaults i have created are all my users need.

I have tried to remove the code 'see below' below from public_html/layout/professional/admin/topic/topiceditor.thtml
but this stops the topic being created due to permission problems.

how would I hide these options but still have my default properties pass on.

I don't believe that you can "remove" the permissions checkboxes alltogether because the action page is looking for those post variables. that in mind, just change their type from checkbox to hidden. your users wont see them and the variables still are posted.

Is that what you are looking for?

forget the php. this is a HTML forms matter. Just put into the HTML form the values you want to have as default as a
Text Formatted Code
<input type="hidden"...>
 
instead of what the {...} would insert.

the { } would insert the fields and dropdowns where the user can select. check out the source of the page to see how the variables are named and what their values are. then replace the unneeded { } with something
such as

Text Formatted Code
<input type="hidden" name="group_id" value="1">
 


You need a bit of knowledge how HTML forms are made for this, no PHP skills.

Me again.

Or should items like perm_group be re-named to the actual names, perm_group would be Story_admin or something like that..

input types that have [] at the end usually are converted into an array. You have seen that there are several perm_owner[]. The first line will become perm_owner[0], the second one perm_owner[1] etc.

I am not too fit to do this out of my head. if you would put a "echo phpinfo();" into the php-file that is processing the results of the form, you can see the way how the variables arrive after the form is processed. from this you should be able to derive how to set the standard variables.

Thanks for help so far, and for putting up with newbi questions.

I put The "echo phpinfo();" that you mentioned in story.php and it listed lots of info but nothing about the permissions.

the code you want to use lacks the array values.
you must use an array for like named input fields...

to do this you must replace the [] into the input names in order that they will be read as arrays when the form is processed.

for example: name="perm_group[]" instead of name="perm_group"
All those fields in the code you posted are returning arrays to the process. without the [], it wont work properly.
