Custom permissions was created by jhoefs
Hello!
I have CB installed with a site I am developing, and I have a question.
I created a tab entitled "journal" using the BLOG plugin. The idea is to give the user a personal journal that only they can see/use.
Only I haven't been able to figure out how to get the permissions right. I played around with "special", not understanding what the consequences of that were (Doh!) and only got access BACK to my site via manual database changes, as for a while the entire Joomla admin menu went away!
I tried adding a "custom" ACL just for author, thinking that the user would be the author of their own profile, but that didn't work, either. What I want is for that tab to show on the users profile when they login, and to not show if anyone else is looking at their profile. Can you help me do this?
Thank you!

You'll need CB Privacy for that. You'd then set the tabs privacy to private so only the profile owner and moderators can see it. There's no way to do that using ACL only.

Thanks for the reply.
Before I purchase, I'd like to know a few things. If I purchase CB Privacy now, will it be compatible with CB in 5 years? Am I guaranteed forward compatibility?
I would like for the user to be able to decide whether that tab is public or not. Will I be able to do that?
Also, I'd like to still have a blog feature - my idea is to copy the blog plugin into a new plugin, and rename it, then use one for blog, one for the journal. Will that work?

Not likely. Things change. It's why we offer subscriptions with months of upgrades.Before I purchase, I'd like to know a few things. If I purchase CB Privacy now, will it be compatible with CB in 5 years?
No.Am I guaranteed forward compatibility?
Yes, you'd just enable user privacy controls for that tab. They can then set the privacy to whatever privacy rules you allow.I would like for the user to be able to decide whether that tab is public or not. Will I be able to do that?
No, you'd have to completely rewrite the plugin to avoid conflicting with each other.Also, I'd like to still have a blog feature - my idea is to copy the blog plugin into a new plugin, and rename it, then use one for blog, one for the journal. Will that work?
