[#3622] Add to K2 user group with CBsubs

Well I dont understand. We need to set permissions to limit writing to special K2 categories depending on the group the user belongs to, while keeping these categories open for reading by all public.

For instance I want group A to write only to category 1 and I want group B to write to categorie 1 and 2, while general public will be able to read 1, 2, 3 and 4

I don't see how to do this with permission assignment as this is a global thing not related to one or another categories;

We also need K2 groups to use extra fields depending upon the groups and the categories.

For instance Category 1 will be assigned extra fields group 1 and category 2 will be assigned extra fields group 2

I don't see how CB could allow this with the present K2 integration

Even with CB articles installed this seems not complete or do I miss something here ?


BTW: thank you for the help with mysql query, it works well for new users but when deactivating the plan and reactivating, it does not work. I guess it is a problem with ON DUPLICATE KEY which may no find the id of the table as is. Any idea ?

I see, seams K2 groups have more functionality then I originally thought.

We don't integration with K2 groups. There was no mention of groups during our K2 integration discussion so no such thing was implemented.

There's either an error or userID isn't a unique key. To make it a unique key you'd need to run the below on your database (make a backup! don't know if this will negatively impact K2!). To check for errors ensure debug mode and maximum error reporting is enabled while testing.

ALTER TABLE `jos_k2_users` ADD UNIQUE KEY `userID`;

Replace "jos" in the above with your actual table prefix if it is different from "jos".

Well this is a very important feature of K2 with extra fields functionality so integration without this is rather pointless

There's either an error or userID isn't a unique key.

There is already id which is a unique key, can I add userID as a second unique key also ? or can we use id as the unique key but different from userID ?

I strongly disagree, but can review adding a K2 model to CB Auto Actions to handle group add/remove.

It's safe to say that userID should be fine as a unique key, but I don't know; I didn't create K2 so I don't know what adverse affects this could have.

I add to this thread another consideration.
With K2 Group the user is enabled to use the editor in the frontend or to edit not only the own articles.

Bye

Hi people,

I would like also to have that integration!

did you guys found a solution for that, depending on the cbsubs plan, the k2 user is added to a k2 user group, and when finish this plan, he is out of this group!

Thanks
