1. How do I tell which version of MidCOM is running (1.6.2??) ?
What information is useful for background when submitting questions to this
group? There seem to be a lot of different components.
2. I created a group Editor in Aegir and put a new user it that
group. If that user tries to update an existing event, I get the following
errors:
a. Failed to save field URL name: Access denied
b. Failed to save field Title: Access denied
c. Failed to save field End Date: Access denied
d. Failed to save field Description: Access denied
If I try to create an event as this user, it throws an Apache 403
Forbidden error, saying, "Could not create Article: Access denied"
I see the following options for creating a new group as System
Administrator at SGO level for the site in question:
I would expect that I should see some permissions that to grant
create/write abilities for content contributors. I tried checking the boxes
and leaving them unchecked at different times, but I still get the same
results. Putting the user in the site sysadmin group allows full access to
the site and works fine, except that I don't want to give all these
permissions to an Editor.
MidCOM admin doesn't seem to have options to create users and groups
at all that I could find.
3. How do I change the date format from DD/MM/YY to the US
standard: MM/DD/YY? This displays in many places, like Events and
<[last-updated>]
4. How would I go about suppressing (or not displaying) the
location column for an Event?
5. How can I control the order of the left navi?
6. I have club managers who will need to update News items. The
login link goes to midcom-admin. I'd like to offer them a WYSIWYG editor.
Can someone point me in a direction that does this?

Hi,
Ad.1 MidCOM version is shown at the botom of each page in AIS. And of
course, you'd better state versions of Midgard, Aegir, MidCOM etc when
reporting a problem.
Ad 2. It seems like you are unabl;e to set proper permissions for your
Editor group. Try this:
1. Log on as a given SG admin (not SG0)
2. Create e new group
3. Set desired permissions
4. Add users and make'em Editor's members
5. Create a topic and make Editor group an owner of a topic
6. Log on as Editor's user and try to add an article
Some features behave strange when created as SG0 admin. I.e. some objects
created by SG0 admin within other SG stile have sitegroup field to 0 which
makes them unavailable for given SG for modification. They don;t even get
listed.
Ad. 3. I think that setting all locales to us_US should do as dates are
handled by MySQL and fornmatting is based on locale settings.
Ad. 4. I believe your talking about de. linkm.events module. You have to
create a style element called <[show-detail]> under same style as your
midcom site and customize its layout. To avoid overwriting style elements
that hane the same name you can create a substyle accordingly and set this
style to a topic under "Edit topic" section. Generally, viewer templates are
taken from your style. If not present, those from
/{MIDCOM_HOME}/lib/{COMPONENT_PATH}/style/ are used as system defaults.
Ad. 5 By setting a score in "Edit topic". Or using "Sorting order" (or
similar - I use localized AIS so I can't remember its English form) link
from top-menu in AIS.
Ad. 6 Widgets used by AIS when creating a form for adding/editing elements
are defined in schemas. You can look at
/{MIDCOM_HOME}/lib/{COMPONENT_PATH}/config/schemadb_default.inc for
reference to find how to use different datamanager widgets, and then create
snippetpath /sitegroup-config/{COMPONENT_NAME}/config which contains a path
to your customized schemadb like:
"schemadbs" => Array (
"/sitegroup-config/de.linkm.events/my_schema" => "My own schema",
),
Then customize my_schema snippet to achieve desired form. You can choose a
WYSIWYG by setting "html" as field widget e.x.:
"description" => array (
"description" => "Description",
"datatype" => "text",
"location" => "content",
"widget" => "html"
),
