Title: Couple of questions from a newbie.
Post by: RemcoR on November 28, 2006, 12:32:09
Hello! I am new in Elxis...I have heard so many things about it and i decided to install it and work with...

I have a couple of questions regarding Elxis..

1. I want to create a special customer section..

Example for the menu that the hole world can see:

Main menu (Public)
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
Link 4
Link 5

Example for the menu that only the people can see that i select.

Main menu plus special customer links.
Link 1 Same as Public
Link 2 Special customer link
Link 3 This one i want remove for the Special Customers
Link 5 Special customer link
Link 6 Same as Public
Link 7 Same as Public

I cant get this working.. any ideas??

2. When i try to install a component i get a error (see image screenshot) I have searched everywere but with no luck :(

3. There is a big red line in the index of the admin panel that tells me to register the elxis CMS but when i do that i get a error => Registration Failed Invalid site url but when i checked there are no problems and the url is right

Thanks for the help!!

Kind Regards,
Remco

Running PHP under safe_mode may cause some Elxis features to not work as they should or to not work at all. Check if your PHP has enabled safe_mode and if yes, remove it. You can have a very secure site without the need to enable safe_mode. You can restrict access using other php directives such as disabling allow_url_fopen, add some dangerous functions to disable_functions, hide errors, disable register_globals etc.

As for the menu, you can set the access level for each menu item. If you set a menu item for example to the group Author it will be displayed to the Author's group and all the above user groups (Author, Editors, Publisher, Manager, Administrator, Super Administrator). Open each menu item to edit it and set your desired access level.

First of all thanks for you fast reply!!

Second..

I will try to explain the situation a little bit better..
I have 12 company' s with for example 100 users

Company A cannot see what Company B sees.
Also when a user is logged in they must see a completly motifid menu (the same menu that the world is seeing). some menu items are gone and new menu items apear when the user is logged in.

For example
Main menu plus special customer links.
Link 1 Same as Public
Link 2 Special customer link
Link 3 This one i want remove for the Special Customers <<--
Link 5 Special customer link
Link 6 Same as Public
Link 7 Same as Public
Link 8 Removed for special customer.

I hope that you understand the question and that it makes sens .. haha

Kind regards,
Remco

Then you should build a group's hierarchy tree as displayed in the image I attach. (Both Author, CompanyA, companyB, companyC groups have as parent group the "Registered" group). Company's A items can not be seen by users of company's B and C. The same for the other combinations. After you finish creating the groups and adding permisions to them start building your menu items and set access levels respectively.
