Specify one user for Section or Category

slowly · 04-24-2009, 09:38 PM

How do I set up a Section or Category so that only one user can create and modify it and at the same time the public can read it? Example "a personal blog".

Hi
Give the user "publisher" rights

Thanks Jeff, but 2 questions.

What would prevent other "publishers" from posting in that section/category?
How do you tie a specific user to a specific section/category?

Ok I misunderstood, you would need to give "Author" rights to the user, I think there are components out there to better handle what it is you need

Could you point me in the right direction please.

Hi
I use a module on my site that enables me to specify users to articles called "Columnist"
Look here
Although I think what you really need is a component called juga to control group access and then Content Submit by section/category, both can be found on Joomla Extensions
