Hey Richard,

Just wondering if there's update on the v7 release. Have you managed to progress this at all? If it's in progress, is there anything we can do to lend a hand on it? Is it somewhere on github? If there's been no work on it, any clues on implementation details before we embark on something similar?

Cheers Rodney

Hi Rodney,

Not yet started on the conversion. But I have uploaded the sourcecode to github. https://github.com/rsoeteman/usergrouppermissions Think it's not a lot of work to make it work for V7. Only the event handlers must be changed to the new services and a few UI tweaks I think. If you have the time to make it compatible that would be awesome and #h5yr.

If you need help please let me know.

Best,

Richard

Ok great. We've got a project coming up where it will be a good fit in a month or so. Rather than build a fresh, we'll see what will be required to bring in forward and hopefuly flick through a pull-request in a month or two. Thanks heaps Richard.

Great looking forward to it. If you ahve any questions please let me know!

Thank you filling the gap on assigning permissions based on user group idea. Its a very well thought approach to set permissions - not sure why its not a default behavior.

I am too interested to see this work in v7. That would be a great help!

cheers

Hi,

If people are still interested I have forked this project and started the upgrade to Umbraco 7.

I have got a lot of the way towards it working but its not quite there. If anyone has any time or interest please get involved in testing or bug fixing as I am now tight for time for a week or so.

Hopefully can get a pull request in once its working correctly.

Thanks

Carl.

Awesome #h5yr!

FYI, I'm giving a go at this myself (my repo is forked from Carl's): https://github.com/Nicholas-Westby/usergrouppermissions

Looks like Carl's version isn't quite working yet. Since Carl's fork doesn't have issues enabled, I've enabled them on my repo and have so far found one issue: https://github.com/Nicholas-Westby/usergrouppermissions/issues/1

It'd be fantastic if there would be a v7 version. Umbraco is a great CMS that is almost fully mature, save for a few key features - mainly permissions and security.

It really is a shame the permissions feature was not incorporated in the core for v7. Having the plug-in would at least return the functionality to the current version.

It sounds like Nicholas has tweaked my version so it works with SQL ce

Either way, if he has done some more testing and is happy there is no reason not to give it a go?

Do you just need it packaging up for install?

Carl

Hi Richard,

My version should be ready in a couple days. Would you like to package it up to be released on your package page, or would you like me to create a new package page specific to the Umbraco 7 version?

You can follow the progress here: https://github.com/Nicholas-Westby/usergrouppermissions/commits/upgrade-part-2

For anybody interested in the Umbraco 7 version, give it a try and let me know how it goes: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/user-group-permissions/

Please report any issues here: https://github.com/Nicholas-Westby/usergrouppermissions/issues

Hi Nicholas,

Will do after Holiday, great work!

Thanks,

Richard
