AdsManager - End of life

It is with great regrets that we have chosen to end the developpement of Adsmanager and its other associated components.

AdsManager is born 10 years ago and, as of today, the number of new subscriptions and downloads have fallen and we cannot maintain the component anymore.

All active subscribers will be able to continue enjoying support until the end of their subscription.

The components will be free and no support will be provided anymore for the other users.

[RESOLVED] Registered vs subscribed accounts was created by debreton

My client is asking if it is possible to have the following scenario with her classified ads system:

We have a group called "Subscribed" that can view/add/manage ads.
She would like a free "registered" group would be able to add/manage their ads but to limit them to viewing only "My Ads".
Currently it seems to be all or nothing. I don't see an easy way to limit registered users to only be able to view their own ads.

Thanks again.
Dan

Hello,

You can create hidden menu items and use the access right of those items to limit the access.

Best regards.

Thank you for your suggestion. It is working almost as I expect but I notice a problem.
I created menu items in my "Main Menu" for "My Ads" and to "Create a New Classified" with rights set for Registered users.
I set the "User Menu" Ads-Manager module with rights for "Subscribed" users.
The "New Ads" and "My Ads" menu items in the Ads-Manager user menu module are picking up the rights and links associated with the Main Menu.
If I change the Main Menu menu item aliases, the change is reflected in the User Menu. I don't understand why this is happening and is defeats the separation I am trying to achieve between registered and subscribed users.

Must I do this another way?

I am not sure to understand very well.
But you mean that you some links are not using the correct menu items. In other words the Itemid of some links is incorrect so bad permission.
Could you clarify which link are not correct ?

Another solution will be to "hack" the code to add some code and prevent user to see some pages directly in adsmanager code. But this will be an extra job if you want us to do this dev.

The Adsmanager Module - Type Menu (that I have set the Access field to Subscribed) menu items 'Create New Ad' and "My Ads' links change when I enable my Main Menu items of the same type. I have created two menu items in my Main Menu (Create New Ad and My Ads) that have the Access field set to Registered.
If if publish these menu items, the URL of the Adsmanager module changes:
Before publish:
dev.swapbuysellguide.com/index.php/browse/post_ad (Subscribe user is authorized)
dev.swapbuysellguide.com/index.php/browse/my_ads (Subscribe user is authorized)
After publish:
dev.swapbuysellguide.com/index.php/creat...w-classified/post_ad (Subscribe user is unauthorized)
dev.swapbuysellguide.com/index.php/my-ads/my_ads (Subscribe user is unauthorized)
Why does the Adsmanager Module change the URL?

You mention below to create new hidden menu items to limit the access. It doesn't matter if I create the menu items in hidden or main, as soon as I try to use them the URLs change and the subscribed users then cannot use the Adsmanager Menu.

The URLs because AdsManager try to find the best Itemid to used based on menu items available. It's why the my ads menu is used for example.

What you can do, create a template override for mod_adsmanager_menu

Then at the top of the overrided default.php

add

$link_write_ad = TRoute::_("index.php?option=com_adsmanager&task=write&Itemid=XXXX$urlparamroot");
$link_show_user = TRoute::_('index.php?option=com_adsmanager&view=myads&Itemid=XXXX');

XXXX should be equals to the "browse" menu item id.
