Hi!
Oh, I'm really sorry. I now looked up the code, and this functionality only exists in Serendipity 1.1 versions. There you have a new dropdown option "Current Author" for the dropdown.
You should be able to just use that categories plugin from the 1.1 base and replace it with the code you have in your 1.0 version. Just replace the whole serendipity_categories_plugin class in your include/plugins_internal.inc.php with this code:

If that's too complicated (which I'm sorry for...), I suggest you to go with the HTML nugget approach. :-/

Implementing the new code snippet was very easy
But unfortunately this does not seem to be the solution for this problem. As you can see in the following link I now have the option »CURRENT_AUTHOR« but the categories are still visible on the frontpage.

Hi!
Ah, I see. The code would only work if the viewing author was logged in. For non-logged in authors it returns "0" and thus shows all categories.
This patch should do the trick:
Replace
Code: Select all
if ($which_category === "login") {
$which_category = (int)$serendipity['authorid'];
}
with:
Code: Select all
if ($which_category === "login") {
$which_category = (int)$serendipity['authorid'];
if ($which_category === 0) {
$which_category = -1; // Set to -1 for anonymous authors to get a proper match.
}
}
HTH,
Garvin

Hi Garvin,
that is a step forward. Now I can only see the categories when I'm logged in. If I'm not logged I cannot see any category although I can see the entries from a category which everyone can read. The entries from a category which Administrators can access only are hidden correctly.
Best regards and thanks for your quick replies

Hi Garvin,
I think there is a misunderstanding. Although it is a step forward I don't think it is the final solution. The problem is that when I'm not logged in I cannot see any category although I should see the category which everyone should see.
Example:
Category
IT permissions: read:everyone write:Administrators
Super permissions: read:Administrators write:Administrators
--Unter1 permissions: read:Administrators write:Administrators
When I'm not logged in I cannot see any category but I can read the entries from »IT«. Logged in I can see all categories and all entries.
Hopefully this explains what I mean.
Best regards
Lumpy

Hi!
Oh, okay, then it was indeed a misunderstanding. Do you have phpMYAdmin access? Could you give me the dump of your serendipity_categories table? I'D like to see what the "authorid" is set to in your categories...

Hi,
no problem. Please find below the link to the properties of the different entries in the table »serendipity_category«.

If you need any further information, just let me know.

Hi!
Hm, strange. The authorids of the categories that are for "All authors" should be "0" instead of "1".
I'll try to investigate the code why this is so.

Garvin

Your conclusion is absolutely correct. I simply changed the »authorid« for the category which should be visible to »All Authors« from »1« to »0« and then all categories and entries were displayed as expected.
Hope this helps a little bit.
Best regards

Hi!
I had a look in the code; the "authorid" is set to "0" only if the "Write" permission to a category includes the "All Authors" information. Does your public category have that, or did it only set the read-access to "All Authors"?
Best regards,
Garvin

Hi,
unfortunately the public category is set to
Read permission: All Authors
Write permission: Administrators
So this does not seem to be the reason for this effect.
Best regards

Hi!
No, that's exactly what I mean! If you set both to "All Authors" it should show up like you wanted in the category section there.
However of course it might not be what you want, that all authors can write into that category, so I consider this not to be a final solution. The problem is that the category fetching code is also used when we fetch the list of categories one can write into - this is why the "authorid" of a category is set of the "owner" of a category. It is only set to "0" if all authors can write into that category.
It seems that the only way to show a read-based category list on the frontend is to make a manual plugin or modify the plugin code some more to make a distinction between the different category fetch happenings.
Will try to do that now.
Regards,
Garvin
