[Typo3-dev] Switch beuser to admin temporarily

[Keith Morrison]

Georg,

I never thought of it that way.  We built a backend extension that 
allows users access to the news and calendar extension, to replace the 
Typo3 workflow (my main problem with that being that in order to really 
enforce a publishing process, tasks need to be assigned to a user, 
rather than initiated by a user).  So they aren't using the Web->Page 
module to create the News items, except that since I have to mount the 
storage folder so that they I don't have permissions problems, if they 
use Web->Page and click on the storage folder I run into that irritating 
issue of having a list of News and Calendar items show up.  I ended up 
modifying db_layout.php and removing tt_news and tx_calendar_item from 
tables that are rendered as a list item.  That solved the problem!  Of 
course, I had to modify a core file to fix it, and I never like to do 
that... Makes upgrading that much harder!  But I'll explore the 
Taskcenter option more thoroughly, as I've never really put it to work 
for me in a robust way yet.

Thanks,
Keith
