Giving Registered Member Access to ProcessWire Admin

[Dean]

Dear ProcessWire community

Before I jump right into this new project of mine and then realise it's not going to work, I'd be very grateful if I could get some advice on the best way to achieve this.

My client wants people to be able to pay a small amount when registering to become a member. To help with this I have just bought Ryan's FormBuilder with Stripe payments module.

We then need the member to be able to log in and upload a few images (which I'll make a gallery out of) and possibly a short video.

What I'm hoping to do then is to create a user/role which will allow the member to log in to ProcessWire and have access to just a certain area to allow them to upload their content.

So I wanted to ask if that is a) possible, and b) the best way to go about it.

I have used ProcessWire before, but it was a few years ago so any help and advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.

You should check this module:

https://processwire.com/talk/topic/11499-admin-restrict-branch
but personally I would create a front-end editing per-user page with the necessary form for image and video upload. I don't want users (rather than admins or editors) to access the backend.

Thank-you. I did wonder whether I could keep it all separate so that I didn't have to give the public access to /processwire.

So if I keep my member pages part of the front-end and then create pages based on what they add. Should I use the person's user id to keep the directory structure unique? E.g., members/46/my-page/.

You should create a Frontend Admin for your users, I think there is a Module for that, but I wrote something years ago doing exactly what you want but here it is incase you are looking for different angles to look at it.

Thanks Sephiroth. Although I think that is too advanced for me at this stage. It looks very impressive though. I will try to do it a less fancy way.
