[TYPO3-english] backend group linking outside its access range?

[Katja Lampela]

Hi,
I can't seem to put my mind round this:

Large site and several edit groups. This one very restricted group can
edit only one page, but they should be able to add links (in text) to
other pages. So the TYPO3 browser should show the whole tree, but the
site tree in backend only the one page they can edit.

Is this possible?

yes, but you need some more configuration.
1. these editors need to see the tables they should pick records from. [1]
2. they need to see the pages, but are not allowed to edit/insert
anything to these pages. So you need to configure the page access like a
unix directory: this group should have read access but no write
access[2]. AND you need to get this BE-group a database mount for the
whole tree [3].

Thank you, but I think this is the normal access rights setup - I don't
think this works as I would want it to work. I think this way the whole
site is visible in the sitetree backend. I want there to be ONLY the one
page they are able to edit. And the whole site tree should be visible
ONLY in TYPO3 page browser/element browser when they are choosing the
link target.

Again, this is what I want:
- editor logs into backend and sees only this one page he can edit.
- he edits this one page's text and while creating a link, he sees in
link dialogue the whole site tree.

Not with a default TYPO3 CMS. You need to code this yourself.

Sure, since 4.2 there is a possibility in User TSconfig to set
options.pageTree.altElementBrowserMountPoints = x,y [1]

This will override the normal mount points of the group when displaying
the element browser used when creating links. (They *replace* the normal
mount point(s))

There is also options.folderTree.altElementBrowserMountPoints to
override file mount points to make it possible to link to files in other
folders than the normal file mounts (they are *added* to the normal file
mounts).

Good day to all!

Is there a possibility to use options.pageTree.altElementBrowserMountPoints and grant access for linking to subpages of a particular page (not in the mount of the user)? For now I have to explicitely enumerate all pages and subpages IDs... It is not very efficient!

Thank you and have a nice day!
