ACL, Hikashop and Affiliates area...

Hi there,

I have just installed ACL Manager 2.0 [which I read was recommended in another post here]...

I was sad to see that it claimed that Hikashop was NOT Joomla ACL compliant and that as a result ACL Manager could only give very basic ACL access... I'd love to understand why you chose NOT to code Hikashop with standard Joomla ACL compatility at some point... it would at least allow people not to have to buy ACL Manager for certain situations like mine.

In the process of setting things up, I was able to restrict access to almost everything I wanted EXCEPT the Affiliate and the Help menus are still showing ???

Why were those exempted from Hikashop's Access Level area?

Can we please fix that so they too can be made invisible? [ I would have done it via Admin Panel Simplifier but unfortunately that module is only Joomla 1.5 compatible and I don't know Javascript well enough to adapt it [I converted the plugin to Joomla 2.5 but it doesn't work because of Javascript ]...

To me MORE precise, you see Sales, Affiliates and Help as the only menus options..
when you click on Affiliates you see Clicks and Affiliate Sales when you click on Clicks it says Access Forbidden - but I didn't configure that anywhere and why is it even showing up as an option if it is forbidden...

As for the Help menu, all 3 options work there... I'd prefer to be able to control which if any are available...

Thanks,
Sincerely,

Emmanuel for Ted.

P.S.:
If you want to test/see the environment, I can give you username/passwords of course

Yes I was aware of the earlier ACL than Joomla that Hikashop had adopted

Yes I am using the latest version of Hikashop [at least that I know of v1.5.8]

"The affiliates menu uses the same views as the user menu. So it is controlled by the same ACL option. The user one.
For the clicks menu access, it is controlled by the order ACL option"

for this new group, under User, I have NOTHING checked. [yet the Clicks options still shows up in the sub-menu under Affiliates and I still get the Access Forbidden.

for this new group, under Order, I have View and Manage as I need this group to be able to edit orders... just didn't want them to also have access Affiliate Sales.

Thank Nicolas for the help.

Emmanuel.

Thanks for the files, they worked, now only have the issue Clicks/affiliate areas...

Cheers, Emmanuel.

Hi Nicolas,

Right but then that means 1 more view that I have to manage at each Hikashop upgrade... I already have 4 files/views I'm trying to keep it to an absolute minimum.

Thanks for the help as always.

Emmanuel.

P.S.: I appreciate the fact that the Affiliates is under the order ACL but each sub-menu option should have it's own no? that way it would be truly granular ACL support. and not have any dependencies which force you to edit core Hikashop files.
