Title: please help with forms and user group between elxis and joomla
Post by: parrotred on September 25, 2007, 11:08:48
I am using joomla i have jaclplus for user group management.

While adding a new group i only want to give view permission to that group but we only have 3 option like add edit and publish something like in elxis.org

thirdly i also want to be able to give groups permissions on individual component something like in elxis.org

elxis.org is inspired from joomla but these are fine things found in elxis is there a way that we can incorporate this in joola1.0.13 byt components or module or some other way. please guide me

My biggest problem is i want to be able to add forms easily but facile forms is a very comlicated process alternative is performs or philaforms but both this is not working with elxis hence i am trying joomla but as mentioned above joomla does not have a good user management system can you please help as i am swing between elxis or joomla
thanx

This is not joomla support forum at all. They have thousands of other forums out there. Here we support elxis only.

This post is more to do with the problems with both the system and not only about joomla. INfact elxis was the first thing i tried and i must admit that i was truely impressed but it was only because of forms component i tried joomla. and hence i am finding a way so that either performs or philaform if they can work on elxis.
And as for joomla i thought if anyone would want to share their experience with user groups of elxis on joomla.

I did not want to offend anyones feelings.

Sorry if it souded unfriendly, but didn't have the time to write what I rely meant, as I'm at work right now. Everyone is welcome, of course. I was reffering to focus of this forum only. I don't use forms much, so you'll have to wait for someone else to pass by...  :(

You can not use groups in joomla/mambo the way elxis does because they are totally different systems. Elxis looks like mambo/joomla but it is not. The only thing you can do in mambo/joomla is to modify the  module/component/bot etc you wish and play with groups 0, 1, 2. For instance:

if ($my->gid == 0) { //visitors
//do something....
} else if ($my->gid == 1) { //registered users
//do something.....
} else if ($my->gid == 2) { //special users
//do something....
} else {
//do something....
}

In Elxis things are diferrent:

if (in_array($access, explode(',',$my->access))) {
//do something...
} else {
//do something....
}

Also in Elxis if you wish to get any group's allowed groups you use this:

$mainframe->allowedGroups($group_id);

Also, backend groups (groups that belong to the back-end hierarchy tree branch):
$mainframe->backGroups();

Front-end groups (groups that belong to the front-end hierarchy tree branch):
$mainframe->frontGroups();


Please dont ask more about other CMSs. If you want something for Elxis ok.

I would like to repeat myself once again i am mainly looking for installation of either perforoms from http://www.performs.org.au/ or philaform. As both these components are user freindly as compared to facileforms. No offences against facileforms or elxis.

I have finally managed to install and configure performs sucessfully in elxis. the only error that comes is while exporting the data to excel.
