sort/move but not edit on parent

[joe_g]

Hi everyone,

How can I allow sort/move without allowing edit permission on the parent?

Been searching around for this and found no solution. It's something I run into in almost every project.

thanks!

As far as I can see it isn't possible to achieve this with the built-in permissions. You'll have to modify the source files.

I don't know which files you need to change, but someone might chip in.

Given the following tree...

Home

-- Un-editable Index Page 1

---- Editable Child Page A

---- Editable Child Page B

-- Un-editable Index Page 2

---- Editable Child Page C

You will have to add clauses to the appropriate files that allow for a user with a role..

To move/sort Child Page A/B underneath Index Page 1

To move Child Page A/B to be a child of Index Page 2

etc.

You might reasonably expect that the page-edit attribute applies only to the page content, but I don't think it does.
