Carlos Revillo	Tuesday 05 June 2007 12:34:00 pm Hello. Now i wanna make an extension. Let's call it "articles". I have two kind of users. Group Users can be A or B. B users have access to "articles", but a Users A haven't. So, if an A user tries to work with articles extension, he is showed an error message. I don't want to show this message to A user. Instead of, i want redirect him to my homepage, so he can login from there. I know i can play with ezUser::hasAccessTo("module") or something like that... but where do i have to do this check? Will it be sufficient if i do it in my module.php file, or should i do for all the views of my extension? Thank you.
Bruce Morrison	Tuesday 05 June 2007 4:27:31 pm Hi Carlos Permissions are handled before the module views are run, so to do what you are asking you'd have allow all users to access the view(s) and redirect dependant on the user. If you were willing to redirect all "access denied" access to the homepage you can setup this behaviour in error.ini. Doesn't appear to be documentated but the comments in the main ini file should give enough info for you to get by.

Hello. Now i wanna make an extension. Let's call it "articles".
I have two kind of users. Group Users can be A or B.

B users have access to "articles", but a Users A haven't.

So, if an A user tries to work with articles extension, he is showed an error message.

I don't want to show this message to A user. Instead of, i want redirect him to my homepage, so he can login from there.

I know i can play with ezUser::hasAccessTo("module") or something like that... but where do i have to do this check? Will it be sufficient if i do it in my module.php file, or should i do for all the views of my extension?

Thank you.
