I have an issue with a dotnetnuke 7 site, where the administrator cannot edit a minority of the pages.
When logged in and on such a page, the edit page menu missing.
When on the page management view, there are only options to view or make homepage. On clicking, properties are not shown.
What could be causing this?
Cheers, mark
I've seen in the past where the Administrator Role Id is incorrectly defined in the database.
Unfortunately there isn't a UI way to change this, you'll need to go into the DB to see what Role ID is defined. I believe AdministratorRoleID is stored either in the Portals table, or in the PortalSettings or PortalLocalization table. Check the # and see if that matches the ID of the Administrators role for that portal.
It could also be a CSS issue if it only affects some pages. Can you try changing the skin on those pages to the default skin and try again...
Just noticed this old question, so I thought that I'd update with what the actual problem was.
We imported pages using a direct to database program - we naturally assumed that the site administrator could, as a default be able to edit pages within their own site.
As it turns out, DNN actually creates correct access rights to each page as they are created, and rights are added and removed as required. This means that if you create pages you must directly create access rights for the correct site administrator.
Kind Regards, Mark, IA

I am working as a teacher in college. I have installed moodle 3.7+ with php7.1.29 on our server. Initially system worked well now there are almost 800 courses and 3000 users registered to system. but now every user getting error message saying "you dont have permission to view course here." this error is show till user refreshes the page 2-3 times and after refreshing page it show course. I have attached screenshot here....can anyone please help me with the problem.
Try purging the caches:
/path/to/php /path/to/moodle/admin/cli/purge_caches.php
If that doesn't work, make sure you don't have any hidden categories.
I can't see that string in Moodle 3.7. It might be a plugin causing this.
If you are able to, can you go to Site admin > Development > Debugging
or direct to /admin/settings.php?section=debugging
and enable debugstringids
Then go to the course and add &strings=1 to the end of the url
https://docs.moodle.org/38/en/Language_customisation#Finding_the_component_and_string_identifier
This will display the source of the string
If administrators can open the course just fine, but other users is having this issue: check the course and category management, make sure the course in question is not inside a hidden category, or the top /parent category is hidden.
So I have a resource (aka Maveoc) named Department that is configured as Visible in Menu.
In the generated app, the link to this resource/Maveoc is visible to all users, including those that do not have the permissions to access it.
From a security point of view, this is not a problem since it's not possible for the users to access that page.
It would be however nice to hide the link for the users that do not have access to it.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks.
That's exactly what the boolean :check_access option in link_to_action does.
In graphical mode or if you specify a view's options, just check the checkbox.
Feel free to browse /macros_references in the Designer.
We know it's a tedious read for now: feedback is welcome,
and be sure that our V3 will have a much cleaner doc page.
I want to hide a page in navigation component based on the logged in user. I have two approaches in mind. Set permissions on the page's node in CRX-DE; denying it for all users; and then allowing it for specific groups. I have been trying it; not found much success. Else; I can get the id of the logged in user in the jsp and based on the user group; I can set the page's property 'Hide in Navigation' . But I am not able to find how to set that property in jsp. Please suggest.
Edit:
I am using the default authentication.I wanted to hide a page from navigation in the default 'list' component. If I use CUG; the users belonging to that group will still be able to see that particular page's link in the list component; and would be asked for login on clicking on that page.I want the link itself to be hidden if the user belonged to a particular group
Thanks.
If you are using the default authentication features in AEM (like Geometrixx), which rely on users that exist in AEM, you can use Closed User Groups. CUG allows you to set what users or groups can or cannot see a specific page. You can see where to set CUGs in the page properties dialog for each page. I'm pretty sure CUG settings inherit down the page hierarchy as well.
Using the JCR permissions for this is a good deal more complex, because it's such a low-level architectural thing. However, for more complex solutions, sometimes it's a necessary part of the equation.
I agree with ryanluka that going for JCR permissions should be avoided when the problem can be solved by much simpler approach. I modified the list.jsp of the default list component. Extracted the login user's id using Userpropertiesutil; and based on the group; wrote the code in jQuery to remove that particular page's div from list component.
I would like to create a login screen for registered members on front page of the site without using members module. As I can see I can create a member and assign login credentials at back-end ( I don't have member module). Basically the idea is:
visiting: www.domain.com will give you login screen. When logged in it will redirect you or open new page.
I'm not looking to buy a module or extension. If something already exist I will be happy to use it.
Can anyone help?
You "don't have the members module"? How is that possible - it comes with the default install! So, something does already exist - it's called the Login Form tag.
So is the question how to create a login form on the front end of the site, or how to keep non-logged in users from viewing a specific template?
If it's the latter you can set access privileges at the template level. Look for the "Access" link by each template in the Template Manager, click that and you'll see your member groups and an option for what template to display if they aren't logged in. Typically that's a login template using the Login Form tags mentioned earlier.
How do I hide the content resource field from non-admin users?
So you'd like a user to be able to change document fields such as title, alias etc but not the content?
You can not lock individual fields to admin user (as far as I know). You can either lock the whole page/resource or you could put the content that you want to be locked into the template for that document and lock the template to only the admin user which would achieve the same effect.
Make sure you don't have a reference to [+content+] in the template and even if the user enters document content it won't impact the page.
New answer instead of editing the above as this is a much cleaner solution.
Create different user groups eg. Admin & Editor
Make sure admin is in the admin user group
Create a template variable for your content and in the Access Permissions section only tick the admin group.
Assign the TV to your template.
Now if the user isn't in the admin user group the TV won't even be visible when they are editing the resource.
Hey, thanks for the answer.
I thought I'd post what I ended up doing.
With MODx Evo 1+, you have managermanager included. After removing the included file(which is used rather than the default chunk) using the rules in there I can rename hide and sync content.
