How to stop authors from editing their published articles - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support


with joomla 2.5.8 trying stop (ftontend) users in author group editing own articles after have been published.

it appears there no core configuration supports this.

hi nick,

thankfully joomla 2.5's acl quite flexible :)

go to:
1 ) administrator area
2 ) site (top menu)
3 ) global configuration (sub menu)
4 ) permissions (tab)
5 ) author (slider)
6 ) edit own (field)
7 ) denied (drop down) ...or can set "inherited" depending on setup.
8 ) save

that should prevent author group editing own articles after have been published. note, assumes edit field , edit state fields denied or have inherited denied access. assumes you're wanting type of effect globally , you're not overriding global permissions settings via "article manager options" in article manager.

hope helps!

kind regards,
nick
