Hello all I am new with EZ and I am currently setting up an site for an Norwegian School program. This requires me to seperate content between several different user groups, and now I wonder how to best implement this functionality. My content is simplified defined as this:
Content for all
Content for all students
Content for students studying in Singapore
Content for students studying in Boston Students studying in Boston should only be allowed to gain access to content for Boston students and all students, and NOT access for Singapore content, and vica. versa. Currently I am thinking about the following solution: All content is based on content classes which are either available for all or only logged in users (restricted content). Typically I am using the following naming conventions: news_all_folder, news_restricted_folder, this is to easily allow the anonymous users (i.e. all) to get access to all none restricted material, this as I set their user role to be "read content (all classes available to all"). However, all restricted content is not to be available for all logged in user, i.e different users should get access to different restricted content based on their roles and user groups, this is to be implemented with roles to various subtrees. Does this sounds like a good way to solve it? I am having doubts about using one access solution to seperate between none and restricted content, then using another solution for sepereating restricted content. Hope someone can give some advices on this. Secondly should I use the predefined EZ content classes (article) or should I make my own in order to make future upgrades of Ez easier?
cheers
