Hi Didier,

Please add version info.

If I understand you correctly I don't think so. Basically if you can do it in the Joomla article manager it should also happen in the F2C article manager.

It is possible in Pro to have default settings for many of the Joomla fields and hide them from the form.

Thanks,
I use Pro and the hidden default settings and am very satisfied with it.
But I want editors to be able to select a different access level than the default one, but I don’t want to give them the complete list of access levels as that can result in articles they cant’s see.
I can of course create categories for each access level but that would be to confusing and cumbersome.
I thought maybe it was possible to create a single select list with the necessary values and then copy that value to the articles Joomla native Access field, but I don’t see how to achieve this.
Didier.

Hi Didier,

I am confused, first you talk about native Joomla fields and now you are talking about article access??

Do you want some front-end users to see moer than just their own articles but not all articles?

Well, Access is a native Joomla field (definition from your documentation) who contains all the defined Access Levels. I want a user to be able to choose only a few of them. Hope this is clear?

OK, I understand. I'm afraid that F2C just loads the field and the content comes from Joomla. I know it's possible to write a F2C plugin that could be triggered on page load. I don't know if that could be used to "catch and alter" the access field values. A programmer with Joomla understanding would need to look into that. I will ask Julien if he has any ideas.

The ideal would be to be able to filter all native Joomla content fields by excluding certain (groups of) values from the selection.
Dreams make life bearable ?
