The Joomla groups are extended and each user can belong to one or more groups. Djf ACL,wrote this component that wants to be a supplement to the group management in Joomla 1.5 in order to manage user access to individual resources.
Each group defines one or more rules, each of which tends to assign the access rights to components, sections, categories and articles. The same applies to modules which can be viewed only with permission. Finally, you can manage the visibility of individual CSS Block. Each CSS Block can be viewed only by authorized users in the group.
The pack include:
* mod_djfacl
that is used to create a bridge between joomla modules and our ACL. If you want to show a module by certain user groups you must set the visibility level "djfacl" and the module disappears. After you must assign the visibility of the module to a certain group, and that's it.
* plg_djfacl
that is the plugin which hides the resources to all users except those authorized.
* plg_djfcontent
that checks the categories set by the user in the form editing article.
How to use:
1) Insert a user into a traditional joomla group with privileges such as "Publisher" or "Manager"
2) Create a "djfacl" group under the joomla group mentioned above and assign the same user to this group again.
3) Create the access rules for the group under "Content management" page.
4) If you want you can hide some css div block, such as the editor icon, specifing it under css management page
