Admin interface for "custom" editors

Hi,

On a project, I had the same need. I have chosen as a solution, to ovverride paglayout.tpl of design admin, and then Modify the code:

{* code for display the principal menu*}
{section var=Menu loop=topmenu($ui_context)}

    {include uri='design:page_topmenuitem.tpl' menu_item=$Menu navigationpart_identifier=$navigation_part.identifier}

{/section}

By this one:

{*define the user groups*}
{def $user=fetch( 'user', 'current_user' )}
{def $group_id = $user.contentobject.main_parent_node_id}

{section var=Menu loop=topmenu($ui_context)}

	{*test of the group of user*}
	{if eq($group_id,ezini('GroupeXXXXXX','GroupID','configuration.ini'))}	      
		{switch match=$Menu.url}
			   {case match="content/view/full/2"}{include uri='design:page_topmenuitem.tpl' menu_item=$Menu navigationpart_identifier=$navigation_part.identifier}{/case}
			   {case match="content/draft"}{include uri='design:page_topmenuitem.tpl' menu_item=$Menu navigationpart_identifier=$navigation_part.identifier}{/case}
			   {case}			     
			   {/case}
		{/switch}
	{else}

		{include uri='design:page_topmenuitem.tpl' menu_item=$Menu navigationpart_identifier=$navigation_part.identifier}

	{/if}

{/section}

This code makes it possible to test if a user belongs to the group GroupXXXXX (defined in the file configuration.ini) if so, it shows just two menus; content structure and content draft.

i hope this will help you.

tks
