TOPIC: Allowing Administrators to manage comments in back-end

This is a topic that has been covered, but no resolution seems to have been posted...

I want to allow an Administrator, and not just a Super Administrator, access to component in back-end and allow them to manage comments.

When user posts comments now, the comment needs to be approved before it is published. Only Super Administrator can do this. Administrator can moderate from front-end, however I need them to be able to approve the comment and publish it from back-end.

One old thread said "However it is possible to turn off this limitation with editing just one line in administrator.component.php"

I think it was meant that administrator.comment.php was supposed to be edited and there was another thread that mentioned this "The problem with admin users is comming from these few lines in admin.comment.php".

Can you please tell me how I can have an Administrator access manage comments in back-end.

Thank you very much.

do you use beta1? There the one line is uncommented - that means administrator, super administrator they both have access to the component.

No, using version 3.26.

I changed admin.comment.php from this:

// check access permissions (only superadmins & admins)
if ( !( $acl->acl_check('administration', 'config', 'users', $my->usertype) )
|| $acl->acl_check('administration', 'edit', 'users', $my->usertype, 'components', 'com_comment') ) {
mosRedirect( 'index2.php', _NOT_AUTH );
}

to this:

// check access permissions (only superadmins & admins)
if ( ( $acl->acl_check('administration', 'config', 'users', $my->usertype) )
|| $acl->acl_check('administration', 'edit', 'users', $my->usertype, 'components', 'com_comment') ) {
mosRedirect( 'index2.php', _NOT_AUTH );
}

However, this prevents Super Administrator form having access now...

Is there something I can do to allow both Administrator and Super Administrator access?

Cheers!

don't chekc for permissions at all:

Ya, that was my next step, and it worked. It allows all back-end users to access the component, which is just fine.

Thank you for your help.

Thanks you very much to your fast response.

For your information I am using JoomlaComment 3.26 with Joomla 1.0.15.

The link that you provide to me help me to solve the problem.

Glad you got it sorted Colard. I'll remember this thread when others have the same problem.
