Modules are not working

Archived from the Xataface Developers forum.

I have added following into my conf.ini

Code: Select all

[_modules]      modules_DataGrid="modules/DataGrid/DataGrid.php"      modules_summary="modules/Summary/summary.php"      modules_switchuser="modules/SwitchUser/switch_user.php"

Modules are in their proper paths (like above, letter case is identical).

But even user with ADMIN nor MANAGER role desn’t see “Grid” and “Summary” tabs nor switch user button.
I’m using Xataface 2.0alpha1

Any ideas what to do?

What does your getPermissions() method look like?

Code: Select all

`function getPermissions(&$record){
         $auth =& Dataface_AuthenticationTool::getInstance();
         $user =& $auth->getLoggedInUser();

         if ( !isset($user) ) {
         return Dataface_PermissionsTool::NO_ACCESS();
         }
         $role = $user->val(‘Rola’);
            return Dataface_PermissionsTool::getRolePermissions($role);
      }`

User I’m using for tests has field “Rola” set to “ADMIN”

The ADMIN role is actually different than Dataface_PermissionsTool::ALL().

For the actual admin (i.e. super user) you may want to use Dataface_PermissionsTool::ALL(). It gives access to all permissions in the system. The ADMIN role includes most of the built-in permissions, but permissions added by you or modules are not automatically added to the ADMIN role.

You can add permissions to the ADMIN role using the notation:

Code: Select all

[ADMIN > ADMIN]     permission1=1 etc...

In your application’s permissions.ini file. Check the permissions.ini files for each module to see which permissions you need to permit.

I will try to check it.

It is clear that such great product have to had updated documentation

OK, seems to work!

There was need to update actions.ini file too

[ADMIN > ADMIN] is the same as [ADMIN extends ADMIN]?

Oh… oops. I think [ADMIN extends ADMIN] is correct. The > notation is for actions… it may work for permissions too… I’ll have to check to refresh my memory.

Just check in documentation

Seems that both notations work.
