Extending the content module

Next topic

Bruce Morrison	Sunday 07 September 2003 10:27:22 pm I'm in the process of adding a custom search to a site. I've written the search functionality as a new module but have realised that this is not what I want to do. I need to extend the existing "content" module so I can access and honour the permissions in place on the content. Is it possible to do this using the extension system or will I have to modify the kernel/content/... directories?

Bruce Morrison	Monday 08 September 2003 12:33:49 am Hi Jan I want to be able to extend the system but for the content modules read permissions to be honoured. It struck me that because the permissions are module based I would have to extend the existing content module to use these permissions. I cannot just add a module extension as this would be a new module and have it's own set of permissions. Is there any way to "import" the content modules limitation list into my new module. I really really really don't want to modify the core distributiuon if at all possible.

Bruce Morrison	Monday 08 September 2003 9:48:37 pm I ended up importing the policies for content, read with the following code (from index.php) // Import the permissions for the content module as that these can be honoured include_once( "kernel/classes/datatypes/ezuser/ezuser.php" ); $currentUser =& eZUser::currentUser(); $accessResult = $currentUser->hasAccessTo( 'content' , 'read' ); $params['Limitation'] =& $accessResult['policies']; $GLOBALS['ezpolicylimitation_list'] =& $params['Limitation']; $limitationList = array(); if ( isset( $GLOBALS['ezpolicylimitation_list'] ) ) { $policyList =& $GLOBALS['ezpolicylimitation_list']; $limitationList = array(); foreach( array_keys( $policyList ) as $key ) { $policy =& $policyList[$key]; $limitationList[] =& $policy->attribute( 'limitations' ); } } Cheers Bruce My Blog: http://www.stuffandcontent.com/ Follow me on twitter: http://twitter.com/brucemorrison Consolidated eZ Publish Feed : http://friendfeed.com/rooms/ez-publish
