Re: [jgen] ACL: access.xml and config.xml

[Michael Babker]

access.xml is preferred so you can use the JAccess API.

Hi,

I'm trying to implement permissions for a component I write.  Which file should hold the actions, access.xml or config.xml?

thanks for the reply...
so I don't need config.xml then?  I saw a tutorial which uses config.xml.
and the joomla hello_world uses both files....

[Michael Babker]

config.xml is needed for your component's configuration.  access.xml is used to set up the ACL.

But i still need to add a fieldset to config.xml then? 
I tried a lot of combinations, but the actions i add in the xml file just won't show up...

I install the component, then click on 'options' , that's where i should see my custom actions, no?

[Michael Babker]

You'll need a fieldset, yes.  Look at com_content's config.xml to get an idea what you'll need to do.

Have a read through http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_(MVC)_Component_for_Joomla!2.5_-_Part_14. That's what I used to ad acl to my component.

Thanks,

Alan

Hi,

I tried this tutorial (14), and if i add an action there it works fine.  however, when i add it from scratch to my own component, there's only 4 actions showing:

configure
Access Administration Interface
delete
edit state.

[Vincent Naert]

I think that when i'm clicking options after installing the component, that i'm not seeing the options of my component, but the options of the installer...

I didn't have a backend yet, which i created now.  When i click 'options' in the admin section of my component, i get

500 - An error has occurred.

XML file did not load

any ideas...?  the xml files are both in place....

[vinnyboy]

the xml load problem is solved... i used the wrong component name in
JToolBarHelper::preferences('com_componentname');

[piotr_cz]

Are you sure that the XML is valid?
I've used to get this errors when XML parser could not parse the file.
XML may be quite sensitive and errors may be caused by things you
would never expect (eg. multiline comments).

If you are not using IDE with XML support, search for online XML
validators to check for errors.

[Vincent Naert]

hi,
yes, the xml is valid, this problem is solved. when I click on 'options', I
can choose 'denied' for a specific group. however, when i reload, my change
is not saved...

[vinnyboy]

this is my config.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config>   
    <fieldset name="permissions" label="JCONFIG_PERMISSIONS_LABEL" description="JCONFIG_PERMISSIONS_DESC">
        <field name="rules" type="rules" label="JCONFIG_PERMISSIONS_LABEL" filter="rules" component="paddles" section="component">
            <action name="core.admin" title="JACTION_ADMIN" description="JACTION_ADMIN_COMPONENT_DESC" />
            <action name="core.manage" title="JACTION_MANAGE" description="JACTION_MANAGE_COMPONENT_DESC" />
        </field>
    </fieldset>
</config>

[vinnyboy]

Must say that I don't have an access.xml file now.  I followed this tutorial: http://www.aclmanager.net/blog/general/31-how-to-add-basic-acl-support-to-your-extension and it only uses config.xml...

[vinnyboy]

hello,
still didn't get it to work...
when i add the file access.xml, then i get the error

500 - An error has occurred.

XML file did not load

Could someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong?

below are the files:

config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config>   
    <fieldset name="permissions" label="JCONFIG_PERMISSIONS_LABEL" description="JCONFIG_PERMISSIONS_DESC">

        <field name="rules" type="rules" label="JCONFIG_PERMISSIONS_LABEL" filter="rules" component="com_paddles" section="component">

            <action name="core.admin" title="JACTION_ADMIN" description="JACTION_ADMIN_COMPONENT_DESC" />
            <action name="core.manage" title="JACTION_MANAGE" description="JACTION_MANAGE_COMPONENT_DESC" />
        </field>
    </fieldset>
</config>

access.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<access component="com_paddles">
    <section name="component">

        <action name="core.admin" title="JACTION_ADMIN" description="JACTION_ADMIN_COMPONENT_DESC" />
        <action name="core.manage" title="JACTION_MANAGE" description="JACTION_MANAGE_COMPONENT_DESC" />

    </section>
</access>

 

[vinnyboy]

Delete both permissions code in both config.xml and access.xml and then try again. Your xml issue could be because of invalid path given or some typing mistake in name in the installer xml file, removing the code and trying will confirm you if the issue has to do with ACL or something else.

[Usman Zaheer]

See, that means its not able to find your installer file or maybe some other xml file that you are mentioning in installer file. Nothing to do with ACL.
