1) are you sure you want to allow this? ok..

open com_muscol/controller.php

line 64 and following, the variable $can_edit determines if the user can edit. if you set it always to TRUE that would do it.
hey, but.. I don't make responsible of what happens next!! it's up to you!

2) on helpers/helpers.php

fins the functions edit_button_album and edit_button_artist you will see they return EDIT and DELETE buttons. just crop out the delete button part...

AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Thanks Germi

I am only using my site as a place for personal friends to share music. Therefore I don't have much to worry about as far as editing permission. I trust'em!... I think

no worries then

I did this but is doesn't seem to be working... Below is the code...

			else{ // registered

				

				switch($view){

					case "album":

					$can_edit = TRUE;

					$msg = JText::_('NOT_AUTHORIZED_ALBUM');

					$link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_muscol&view=album&id='. $id . $itemid);

					break;

					

					case "song":

					$can_edit = TRUE;

					$msg = JText::_('NOT_AUTHORIZED_SONG');

					$link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_muscol&view=song&id='. $id . $itemid);

					break;

					

					case "artist":

					$can_edit = TRUE;

					$msg = JText::_('NOT_AUTHORIZED_ARTIST');

					$link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_muscol&view=artist&id='. $id . $itemid);

					

					if(!$params->get('users_add_artists')){

						$can_edit = false ;

						$msg = JText::_('NOT_AUTHORIZED_ARTISTS');

						$link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_muscol&view=artists' . $itemid);

					}

hmm.. do you still get the messages "you're not authorized".. ?
I guess you are trying to add album as a registered user... right?

No, users can add albums no problem... I want all users to be able to edit any album or artists or song throughout the collection (regardless of who initially added the album artist or song).

It turns out that your changes do allow any users to edit any album etc. However the edit button is not showing up. This can be changed by editing helpers/helpers.php

	function edit_button_song($id){

		$user =& JFactory::getUser();

		

		if(!$user->id) return "";

		

		$db =& JFactory::getDBO();

		

		$query = ' SELECT user_id FROM #__muscol_songs WHERE id = ' .$id;

		$db->setQuery( $query ) ;

		$owner = $db->loadResult();

		

		if($user->id != $owner) return "";

		

		$params = &JComponentHelper::getParams( 'com_muscol' );

		$itemid = $params->get('itemid');

		if($itemid != "") $itemid = "&Itemid=" . $itemid;

		

		return "" . JHTML::image('components/com_muscol/assets/images/page_white_edit.png', JText::_('Edit')) . "";

to

	

return "" . JHTML::image('components/com_muscol/assets/images/page_white_edit.png', JText::_('Edit')) . "";

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

About Editing Access... not exactly like Max Power (I dont want everyone to be able to edit !) but on the opposite, I don't want that the only user capable of editing is the user who added the artist/album/song.

I'd like myself and some Helpers to be able to edit everything in frontend...

I thought about this... if I set my user_id and my Helpers' user_ids under 50... Would it be possible to code something like :

$can_edit = user_id "who created it" AND/OR user_id "under50"

if yes, can you help me out with this code ???

I got the edit graphic to show up but there is no link with it. I click the graphic and nothing happens...

What am I missing??

no link? :S that makes no sense.. can you post a link, and provide me access?

I realized I did not purchase the edit in front version...

I will upgrade in the future

bump!

ooopss!
missed this one..

yes you could do something like that... on the function check_album_permission() of the controller.php

it's very easy, you'll see how this function works..!
