Hey there, for a client website I need to implement a "reviewer" role. "Reviewers" should be able to review new (unpublished) articles to give feedback to editors, but not have the permission to change them. I built a new "reviewer" role that only has page-view permissions for the respective templates, but this permission does not include viewing unpublished pages. How can I grant them access to the unpublished articles without giving them page-edit permission? Cheers, Flo

Hey girls and guys, I'll want to open this thread in order to discuss a main problem I've run into with following setup: I'm maintaining a site where different URLs are directed to the same folder. In site/ready.php the $user->language is set based on the $config->httpHost <?php /* Set language based on the domain and user is not logged in */ /* Slovenian */ if( $config->httpHost == "www.domain.si" || $config->httpHost == "domain.si" || $config->httpHost == "domain.si.local") { if (!($user->isSuperuser())) $user->language = $languages->get('si'); } /* German */ elseif( $config->httpHost == "www.domain.at" || $config->httpHost == "domain.at" || $config->httpHost == "domain.at.local" || $config->httpHost == "domain.ch" || $config->httpHost == "www.domain.ch" || $config->httpHost == "domain.de" || $config->httpHost == "www.domain.de") { if (!($user->isSuperuser())) $user->language = $languages->get('default'); } /* Croatian */ elseif( $config->httpHost == "www.domain.hr" || $config->httpHost == "domain.hr" || $config->httpHost == "domain.hr.local") { if (!($user->isSuperuser())) $user->language = $languages->get('hr'); } /* English */ elseif( $config->httpHost == "www.domain.eu" || $config->httpHost == "domain.eu" || $config->httpHost == "domain.eu.local") { if (!($user->isSuperuser())) $user->language = $languages->get('en'); } /* Italian */ elseif( $config->httpHost == "www.domain.it" || $config->httpHost == "domain.it" || $config->httpHost == "domain.it.local") { if (!($user->isSuperuser())) $user->language = $languages->get('it'); } The homepage (id=1) has following settings: As you can see German (Deutsch) is set as default language. Everything is working nice and fine and I'm really happy with this kind of setup but now there are some new requirements, which causes me quite a headache : I've to add some pages only in one or two languages (they should not be present in German) I've to create some editor roles that are allowed to only edit (can be done with https://processwire.com/docs/user-access/permissions/#multi-language-page-edit-permissions) & add pages to their specific language. What I've found out so far: The default language can't be disabled and must always be present (though this would be in my eyes the easiest solution) Creating my own "language select field" - example here: won't work in this case because I've to rely on the native languages in order to setup the right permissions for editors. There seems to be some solutionsbut I think these won't match for me because I've to think about handling editors and permissions, too. After searching and searching, scratching my head and searching and searching again, the only possibility that comes to my mind is to add another language for German and assign this language to the specific URL's instead of the default language. The advantages with this solution for me: I could activate or deactivate any language on any page Editors which are allowed to add pages can get the permission page-edit-lang-default without affecting the German pages. The disadvantages: All multi-language-fields will have an empty tab for the default language - this may irritate editors a lot Seems to me like a lot of work to do because I've to copy the language field nearly for 1000 pages/repeaters (maybe I'll find an SQL query) My questions: How would you handle this task? Could my setup be optimized in a completely different way? If I go for my solution (adding another language for German) would it be possible to hide the language tab for default language in any way? If some points aren't clear enough please don't hesitate to ask. Many greets...

I'm confused by how PW handles user permissions. I have created a user role of editor with the following permissions: edit, view and update profile. This is an events website where the editor should be able to add and edit events and cities, but not other pages such as categories that are set once and for all. This is my page tree for the editor: There are a few problems here: The editor should not be able to create new categories ("categorías") The editor should not be able to create other pages at the top level, i.e. there should be no "new" next to "Inicio" The "edit" and "view" permissions are all fine. For example, they should only be able to view the categories, and it works as expected. But it's the page creation permissions that I do not understand. This is the access tab in my "categories" template: In this setup, the editor should not be able to create pages, but it seems to apply only to the children of that template. If I undertand correctly, the page permissions are inherited from the home template, and for the editor to be able to create new events and add cities, I had to tick all the checkboxes (view, edit, create and add children) in the home template for the editor: What am I doing wrong here? Or is this kind of fine-grained control not possible currently with PW?

I've been asked to consider the viability of the following project: a sort of collaborative blog where any Spanish expat could register and post small articles, videos and photos about their experiences as Spaniards living in the U.S. The trick here is that users should only have the options to view and edit their own posts, and should not have access to the posts of anyone else. I'm guessing then that the traditional user roles and permissions (user, editor, administrator...) do not apply here. It must be the summer heat, but I can't think how to achieve this with Processwire. Any thoughts? As usual with PW, it must be easier than I think.
