Hi All,

 

Does anyone know of a way in which I can restrict someone to editing their own entries?

 

Background: I am building 2 different CRUD solutions, and in both cases (unless they are an admin) I need to be able to restrict the user to being able to edit only their own entries.

 

Thanks

Woz

You can use a login library (ion_auth) and create a new column in the respective table "user_records" then in the GC function use :

 

// load user Id

$user = $this->ion_auth->user()->row();

 

// when adding new records - adds the user id to the new record - field user_records

$crud->change_field_type('user_records', 'hidden', $user->id);

 

// users can see only there records

$crud->where('user_records', $user->id);

 

first : loads the user_id

second : when a user adds a new record the user_records will auto take the value from  $user->id

third : users can see only there records

 

dont forget to include user_records in the add_fields

 

hope this can help a bit

Thanks Robert,

 

I am already using Ion_Auth, so your solution is great. Thanks!
