could it be that the link to the Joomla 1.5 Version of this cool component is broken?

@Anders:

Simple ACL does not handle any kind of email notification.
But I think Joomla itself will do it without the need of any additional component.

Can Simple ACL send admin an email when an editor submits an article to a section?

I am asking because as an administrator I need to approve the article, so it would be nice the have a heads up.

simple ACL is really useful and easy to implement and manage!

I’m using 1.5.9 of Joomla and 31 SVN for the tool. I have a completely public website. However, I have 10 different users that when they log in each need to see 10 different pages. They are all coaches and when the cheer coach logs in, she needs to be able to see a hidden page just for cheer. Same for the football coach, he needs to see an additional page along with all the public content that he has access to. I don’t have any denied articles associated with the homepage so I’m a bit confused. The only “registered” articles are the articles for each coach. Keep in mind that they have their own section so there is no confusion.

@Patsy,

unfortunately you don’t say which version of Joomla and which version of Simple ACL you are using.

Anyway, did you check the default policy?

Also, there is probably a bug in Simple ACL version 1.0.1 that deny the whole home page in case there is a single “denied” article in the page.

So I installed this and it doesn’t seem to work right. I created about 10 users all associate to 10 sections. They are all set to registered. I went into the ACL tool and created the section name and user name it is associated, all set to retrieve because when they log in, I want them to see that section. But when I log in as one of the users, I get the denied access and they can’t even access the regular content on the website. Any ideas?

Hi Alessandro, If anyone is wondering I fixed the problem i had to set the user as an “Editor” in the User Management page so they could see the edit button.

I spent months looking for this and its working great! Just one question is there anyway to stop users being able to edit the frontpage because they all seem to be able to edit the frontpage? I know its not supported anymore but i would appreciate it greatly if you could point me in the right direction

Many Thanks

@John

Simple ACL version 1.0.1 is not supported anymore, sorry.

BTW, the problem you describe has nothing to do with Simple ACL but it is a Joomla usage/configuration problem, I suggest you to ask your question on a Joomla general forum/list.
