questions / problems with editing data

Hi,

I may finally finish with this hellish site migration but still some problems with List Manager :
- today, I wished to delete some old records… No way to do it from the backOffice ? Ok, I just added a "delete" button to the data layout and was able to delete my old record. So far, so good… sort of. I then worried that this delete button would appear on the front-end too and indeed that's what it did as intended.
- Then I rightfully worried that this button may be accessible to anyone, so I logged out and wen to the front-end : and indeed the delete button appears to anyone even not logged in !
- So I searched the LM back-office for rights management : no luck. I may have looked in the wrong place but if it existes, I did not find it.
- Then, I tried to add a new record : same problem, no button in the back-end unless I edit the data layout to add one. That's what I did but alas, when I tried to add a new record, my button did open a new record form but when I tried to save it : nothing happened when I hit the save button.

please guys…

Hi again,

I just reactivated your supadmin account.
See private data.
I urgently need to be able to add new records be it from the front or from the back-office : for now, it's impossible from either.
The console just throws me a bunch of errors.


Thanks,

Hi,
regarding the first question, about how to configure different permissions for front or back-end, you need to configure a 'manager' for you that will only be accessed through the backend. Select your list, press 'copy', and introduce your manager options (edit, delete...etc) at this new layout. We already did this (you will see a new Manager annuaire... )and added the 'new' button. Now you have one layout/set of options that you have published for front end, and your backend manager with all rights and different options if required, while both handle the same database table.

Then we tried to create a new record, and we got a server error 403 Forbidden- Access to this resource on the server is denied!
This means your server is rejecting the calls due to any restriction/wrong permissions setting. We suggest to check your server error log to find out more details about which is the origin of the issue, and ask for help to your server support to fix, because it can be any server firewall, wrong htaccess file, any security plugin,wrong file permissions...., that is wrongly stopping valid requests (it may be of help mentioning those calls are ajax calls, it can be useful to identify the security rule to be adjusted).

Let us know if we can be of more help.

Best regards

OK. Thanks Silvia.

I figured it would be something like that. It's all right for the back end but I also need that some users with appropriate permissions may edit / add / delete records from the front-end. Is your solution doable for front too ? I sure hope so.

Sorry for bothering you with my stupid second question, I should have known it would be the damn firewall again.
Thanks anyway, I just deactivated one of its rules and could indeed save a new record.

Best regards,
