Hi -

I'm trying to setup an author role for one of our bloggers and having trouble. Can you review (or point me to some documentation) on how this should be done?

Here's what I've done so far.

- created the user in Joomla with a User Group = Blogger
- assigned all EasyBlog privileges to that User Group (Blogger)

When this user logs into the front-end of the site he is able to edit a post on the front end (good). But, he is unable to either preview a post or upload images. It works fine for a super admin user. Seems like a permissions issue.

Looking for the specific steps I need to accomplish this.

Hello cc-blog.

Can you provide us with Joomla backend and FTP access so we can check on this issue directly?

Hi -

Our dev site is under htaccess control so it's a bit difficult to provide access. Basically at this stage I'm looking for a bullet list explanation (or point to a documentation article) that explains how to do this. Then I can double-check my procedure.

thanks,
Brendan

Hello,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

he is unable to either preview a post or upload images.

May I know what do you mean by the post preview and upload images here as I'm not quite understand what it mean. Please advise.

By the way you can set special privileges for your author by assigning him to super user ACL group from backend > easyblog > bloggers. You can configure the behavior of the user group from the easyblog ACL setting which can be found from your backend > easyblog > ACL.
