Integrate custom component in ACL

[Nacho]

Hi All,

we're developing a custom component for Joomla 1.6, and want to
integrate it in the ACL, but in the backend the options pane doesn't
show the permissions tab. Is there a basic tutorial on how to do this?

thanks!

Hi Nacho,

Add this field to your components config.xml file:

            name="permissions"
                label="JCONFIG_PERMISSIONS_LABEL"
                description="JCONFIG_PERMISSIONS_DESC"
        >
                <field
                        name="rules"
                        type="rules"
                        label="JBS_ADM_PERMISSION_SETTINGS"
                        class="inputbox"
                        validate="rules"
                        filter="rules"
                        component="com_biblestudy"
                        section="component"
                />
        </fieldset>

Then in one of your view.html.php files under the toolbar area add:

JToolBarHelper::preferences('com_biblestudy','600','800',JText::_('JBS_ADMIN_PERMISSIONS'));

This will control who can access your component.

For more on how ACL can control access to content items, see com_content

I don't know for sure, but this might help: http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_%28MVC%29_Component_for_Joomla!1.6_-_Part_14#Describing_the_ACL. Mark
