Advanced File permissions on single files

Permalink
Hello C5,

I have a site with three user-groups 'Administrators', 'Family' and the default group 'guests'. If I set view-permissions on a particular image to 'Administrators' and 'Family', the image also disappears from the group 'Family'. Disabled all forms of cache, tried everything, no luck. Any ideas?

I have a modified slideshow block, the loop code is:
<?php  
foreach($images as $imgInfo) {
 $f = File::getByID($imgInfo['fID']);
 $fp = new Permissions($f);
 $larger = $ih->getThumbnail($f, 800, 9999, false);
 if ($fp->canViewFile()) { ?>
  <img src="<?php echo $larger->src?>" width="<?php echo $larger->width?>" height="<?php echo $larger->height?>" alt="<?php echo $f->getTitle()?>" />
<?php
 }
}
?>

Be sure that you've Set permissions to exclusively NOT allow guests to view. Simply setting the two groups to view does not necessarily exclude the guest group ;)

Hi Enlil,

Thank you for your answer! I tried that as well, no luck... even if I set it on a user instead of a group. I'll look into the slideshow controller in the core.

Attached a screenshot, but the image also disappears for a family member.

Strange... This should definitely work as aspected... I really need it to work, because it's the essential functionality of the site I'm working on.

[edit]
This is frustrating, we were about to launch the site...
Cannot proceed now. Does anybody know how to fix this??

Best,
Nick

Are the members of the family group in the guest group as well?

Hi Enlil,

I believe so, because everybody is a 'guest'?
I don't see how you can remove the group 'guests' from a user?

Looks like this:

Dashboard > Search Users. Find each user and uncheck "guests" group if they are in it ;) Then family members should be able to see it because they are not a "guest" any longer.

Yes, that would be as aspected. But the group 'guests' don't appear here.
