kater Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 hi, I'm only allowed to front-edit (Method D, modal comes up) when I'm logged in. Default guest user (role ID 37) without login will not work while a logged in user with role 37 assigned will work (and superuser ofc). Does frontend editing require a 'real' login? All template access rules are assigned and checked. Any hints what i might be missing? thanks ProcessWire 3.0.108 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisstephens Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I believe you have to have a login with a role with proper permissions other than guest to be able to edit content. As far as I understand, the guest role does not have page edit permissions (unless you have changed this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kater Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 thanks for your reply! guest has full edit permissions. theres seems to be a difference between assumed guest role (visitor) and logged in guest role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernhard Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 May I ask WHY you want to allow a not-logged-in guest user to edit your pages? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kater Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 sure. it's an event registration site where people with an ticket id (which they enter once) can confirm their status and choose a couple details. not more ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernhard Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 so maybe you could just log them in after they entered the correct ticket id? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kater Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 i thought about that but after sending the invitation there may be hundreds trying to log in at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragan Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I wouldn't worry about that. Seriously, such a setup is potentially very dangerous. It's against everything PW stands for: Security first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbmnfktr Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 There are two things coming up my mind to get this done: FormBuilder + some hooks for checking and saving responses something similar like the Social Impact Award tool @bernhard built in the past 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand So are you trying to use FrontendEditing as some kind of form-replacement? Don't know if there are any limitations in the number of currently logged in users or any performance issues...

kater Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Just curious. How would permission to edit a set of pages even without login compromise the security of the remaining site? Yes, all doable via forms. The frontedit modal dialog is just a very comfortable and flexible way. ? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its purpose is editing page content for logged-in users (editors with knowledge about the system and the process) and not taking event registrations from people that don't know what they do there.
