First of all, running ExpressionEngine 1.6.3 Build 20080421.

I’ve modified a member group’s ‘Template Editing Privileges’ to allow them editing access to a couple of template groups. I’ve also given the group access to the template page via “Control Panel Area Access”

But when I login as a user in that member group, and click on the Template tab, I get the follow error:

Template Management
 
There are no templates currently assigned to you

I’ve tried clearing cached data with no luck. Also tried logging in as a different user in the same member group, also failed.

Any ideas? What am I missing?

Thanks

When you built the member group, did you start from scratch, or did you base it off the SuperUser?

I created the group from scratch.

Looking at the code, for non-superadmins, the message is triggered if:
1. They don’t have permission to admin template tab ($DSP->allowed_group(‘can_admin_templates’))
or
2. No template groups have been assigned to them (sizeof($SESS->userdata[‘assigned_template_groups’]) == 0)

I’d double check both settings in member managment.  Confirm they can admin templates and have template groups assigned.  I just don’t see how it would be triggered if those two conditions are met.

Make sense?

I can’t really put my finger on it but there maybe a bug in version 1.64 - cp-templates.php, because I don’t seem to be able to give one user access to one template group.

I get this error: ‘There are no templates currently assigned to you’ even if I assign one template group and allow access to the Templates. I don’t want to give access to Administration of templates, because the user then gets to create new template groups.

The error in the file may have something to do with:

if (sizeof($SESS->userdata['assigned_template_groups']) == 0 AND $DSP->allowed_group('can_admin_templates') == FALSE)

the above from 1.62
—-

if ($SESS->userdata['group_id'] != 1 && (sizeof($SESS->userdata['assigned_template_groups']) == 0 OR $DSP->allowed_group('can_admin_templates') == FALSE))

this from 1.64

I have replaced cp-templates.php with the earlier version and it works for me now….

I’ll double check, but I’m pretty sure 1.6.4 is correct.  They need to have permission to administer templates AND templates assigned to them.

On the plus side- if the create a new template group?  It is not automatically assigned to them, so they can’t do anything with it.

But I’ll confirm which is correct.

OK- confirmed.  1.6.4 is the correct behavior.  They should be required to have both Template admin rights and templates assigned to them.  I realize the hack gets it working like you want, but for a long term fix, you’d really want to put in a feature request.

Make sense?
