Hi,

We would like to "clone" the CB Gallery tab into 5 separate tabs where each tab has access to (and can manage) its own photo items. The main goal is to assign a different access policy to each gallery tab (e.g. "private photos" as opposed to "shared photos"). We are using the Privacy Policy plugin (from mikkosoft). Is this possible at all?

Many thanks

Best regards

Hi Nick,

In order to create a clone of the CB Gallery tab I am wondering if it is still a major task to modify some parameters of the installation files and install under a different name, thus creating a new tab but with the same functionality? Would it be sufficient to alter the user item (i.e. image) path and specify a different sql table name for the gallery? I am guessing there might be more to edit in the xml and php files of the module & plugin: so is it realistic to do all this without doc?

Do you have any recommendation as of how to tackle this problem?

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the answer. I have a different question. I would like to add a CB tab (plugin) where users can publish personal news entries (with date and subject) and only allow connections to view them. It does not really matter if the component behind this is a forum or a blog.

I have played a bit with fireboard and mamblog (since CB is supported) but the problem I have is even though I set restrictions on the actual tab (with the Profile Privacy plugin from mikkosoft) and everything looks nice in the tab: whats happens is that when you clik on the entry it will take you to the forum/blog main page where all entries from all users are viewable. Checking component permissions on the backend did not help as you only can choose bewteen "public" or "registered users" but not "user's connections".

Are you aware of any bulletin component where a user can publish personal news in a private way?

What about the Forum tab here in joomlapolis? I have a feeling that the tab only takes you to that particular item without any additional "previous" and "next" buttons linking to other threads? Are you using simpleboard forum? I also like the fact that you can attach images and files.

Many thanks for your help on this.

Best regards
