Hello, please help me to understand if is my bad or it is a bug.
On my site I have 80 ACL groups and 200 users assigned to 1 or 2 of this ACL.
All the post is public so all can view the article, but only the ACL proprietary can edit or post in his categories. All is working.
I need for some of the Article Categories a Form, to simplify the edit and the insert of new article.
Here the problem.
Example:
The user "Foo" that can Write only in the "Apple" category (and with the Joomla Editor in fact he can set only the "Apple" category), if Click to create a NEW F2c Article (from front end, because he can't enter in back end) can see all the categories in the category list, and CAN WRITE ARTICLE IN A CATEGORY THAT IS PROHIBITED TO HIS USER. He can write and save. How it is possible?
Thanks
Erik

Hi Patrick, I hope you're right now!

I was testing Lite version of F2C.
Thanks to your hint, now I've read the change Log of the PRO version.

I think this is what I need:
F2C PRO 6.11.0 for Joomla 3.4 - Stable Release available 24-07-2015
- NEW: Category selection can be restricted by Joomla ACL in the front-end

best regards
Erik

F2C can select any categories of Joomla because in the template of the form edit.php there is this part of code that not query for only the catid the user logged can edit:
<div class="control-group">
<div class="control-label"><?php echo $this->form->getLabel('catid'); ?></div>
<div class="controls"><?php echo $this->form->getInput('catid'); ?></div>
</div>

I don't know how to list only the categories of a logged user.

Hi Erik,

Sorry about the late reply. I was ill and we had some issues with notifications from the forum.

It's possible to set category selection to follow Joomla ACL. If you use that method you have full control over which categories can be selected.
PS, you might need to update to the latests version of F2C Pro. In the changelog you can see when this feature was added.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Patrick
