How are permissions added?

How are permissions added?

Would you like to know that how to add/remove permissions for a user/group or
how to include permissions in your own XF addon?
(Because you are posting in the XenForo Development Discussions forum)

 

[CarpCharacin]

To add new permissions. I know how to add/remove existing permissions to a user/group. I want to know how to make new permissions.

Admin -> Development -> Permissions -> Permission Definitions

You can create all the permissions you want here, they just won't do anything

I know, but how do I make them do something?

You can sort of cheat and use the syntax below for permissions. Assuming you are wanting to restrict the view of something, or however you want to configure it. ufk prefix is just so its unique as the id's have to be.

Admin -> Development -> Permissions -> Permission Definitions -> New Permission Group

1. Permission Group ID: ufkGeneral
2. Title: UFK Permissions
3. Add-on: (Not needed)

Admin -> Development -> Permissions -> Permission Definitions -> New Interface Group

1. Interface Group ID: ukfGeneralPermissions
2. Title: UFK General Permissions
3. Add-on: (Not Need)

Admin -> Development -> Permissions -> Permission Definitions -> New Permission

1. Permission ID: canViewStuff
2. Title: Can view stuff
3. Permission Group: ufkGeneral
4. Depends on Permission ID: (Can leave blank)
5. Permission Type: Flag
6. Interface Group ID: ukfGeneralPermissions
7. Add-on: (Not needed)

Then you can use this syntax in a template:

<xen:if is="{$visitor.permissions.ukfGeneralPermissions.canViewStuff}">
Some code stuff...
</xen:if>

Good luck!

But how do I configure it on what it can and can't do?

 

[Steve F]

I guess we would need to know what you're trying to do?

The permission example I posted is a flag, basically can or can't see or do what is inside the code example.

 

[CarpCharacin]

I haven't decided what I am trying to do yet. What do I add in the code example?

 

[Steve F]

What do I add in the code example?

Well I can't tell you what you need if I don't know what your doing...

Inside that code would be anything you want to show or not show | allow to do or not do, to whatever group you set the permission to.

 

[CarpCharacin]

But what format would it be?

 

[Steve F]

Refer to my last and read it from the beginning.

 

[CarpCharacin]

I see the syntax, but what would go where "Some code stuff..." is?

 

[Steve F]

This probably isn't for you if you can't answer the questions I've asked.

 

[CarpCharacin]

Like I said, I haven't decided what I am trying to do.

 

[Amaury]

And he can't help you if you don't know what you want.

 

[CarpCharacin]

I want to know how to add permissions in general.

 

[Paul B]

If you aren't able to understand the example then it's unlikely you'll be able to achieve anything.

 

[tajhay]

My head hurts reading this thread.

Feel sorry for the people that try to help him.

 

[CarpCharacin]

I am able to understand the example.
