I would like to allow just the original author and one other member to be able to edit a safecracker form.
The other member would be indicated as a custom field entry in the channel entry they were updating.

Is there a way of indicating this in the safecraker parameters?

Hello Alli,

Thank you for your question!

You could do something like this.

{if author_id == logged_in_member_id OR logged_in_member_group == "5"} 
<a href="http://templategroup/template">Edit This</a>
{/if}

Where group is the group that the member you want to be able to edit the form along with the author exists.

Does that make sense?

Cheers,

Hi Shane
I think that is heading in the right direction but it would need to be even more specific than member group as it will be only a single member of that group who should have editing rights - the plan would be that the author’s entry will include a field that includes the member id of the extra editior. So the code would need to be something like:

{if author_id == logged_in_member_id OR logged_in_member_id == "{id pulled from the entry we are about to edit"} 
<a href="http://templategroup/template">Edit This</a>
{/if}

Hello Alli,

Sounds like you just need to drop the OR then. author_id is the id from the entry that is about to be edited so the logic would be identical on both side of the OR.

Does that makes sense?

Hi Shane
I’m not sure I follow you - I’m trying to allow the author OR one other member to edit the entry. This other member id is the one that gets pulled from the entry custom field.
Does that make sense?

Hello Alli,

Gotcha.

What is the name of the custom field? Does it work for you if you use “if logged_in_member_id == custome_field”?

Cheers,
