BackendPro 0.6.1

permission troubles:

I want to have 3 (major)groups of people using my projected site:
Group 1: guests - without login -> via public_controller?
Group 2: users - with login and different rights -> via admin_controller?
Group 3: admins - with login and full rigths -> via admin_controller.
Am I right with this? if yes, then the admin_controller is more a member_controller?.

My problem are pages with user-login-permission, not to see for everybody:
I have some trouble with this because of my test-page is only shown for users with admin-rights and runs via admin_controller.

When I do it via public_controller I can see the page by typing the URL in the browser-field except I give a check() then it works for group 2 as it should.

I think, the way via admin_controller and user-rights should work, so I did something wrong?

Not quite. What you should do is as follows:

Group 1 - Your 100% correct on this one
Group 2 - Since these users are accessing I take it a logged in area you use public_controller but put a check() on the controller/method you want.
Group 3 - Only administrations should be able to get to the Control Panel, so only ever use admin_controller for that, never for group 2.

Thanks for your fast reply and for sharing the BP solution with us.
It is quite clear now for me, and I can start my work with it.

Sorry,
but I have opened a NEW TOPIC instead to post here questions regarding BackEndPro.

BeP uses Codeigniter's old validation library.

I am wondering if there is a easy way to change to CI's new form validation library...

I don't want the welcome page provided by your application. I just want to use this as an out and out admin panel as I have fb connect in my site.

How do I make the change so that this system doesn't slow my website down and only loads when I call /admin

EDIT: I just deleted the folder "welcome" under the modules folder and that lead to my site being displayed. But I'm guessing there must be a more gracious way of doing this? New to codeigniter and learning a lot of new things and these new things seem to be endless. So I'm kind of irritated and with an attitude of "what-ever-works". But my aim is to learn the best way to work with codeigniter.

This is probably a stupid question, but I'm totally new and trying to use CI and BackendPro together -- a test for a big project coming up.

Things work great until I want to add extra segments onto a URL.

http://www.shirleydenton.com/plants/pindex
works just fine
I get the controller for plants/pindex loaded and segment 1 has 'plants' in it and segment 2 has 'pindex' in it. Segments 3 and 4 are empty (should be)
So far so good.
I'm extending the public controller as it is a public page

directory structure is
modules
-plants
--controllers
---pindex.php
--views
---public
----pindex.php


but

http://www.shirleydenton.com/plants/pindex/alpha/A

causes a 404 message instead of loading the controller
plants/pindex and then setting the last two segments -- it very persistently tries to load the entire URL with naturally does not exist

I've looked inside the admin section and the comparable code successfully works and the segments get loaded.

I tried changing the directory structure to
modules
-plants
--controllers
---admin
----pindex.php (also tried changing it to extend the admin controller)
--views
---public
----pindex.php

--and a number of variants on this theme. nothing helped.

I've read and read and I'm finding nothing in the CI, BackendPro, or Matchbox documentation or forum threads. I have to be missing something very basic here about coding in the BackendPro context

Yes you can upgrade it, just replace the calls to the old validation library with the new. But I am not going to update 0.6.1 to use the new Validation library, that will be in 1.0

Yes that is the way to do it. Basically the welcome module was designed to contain my demo welcome page. By deleting it thats fine. I would then change the main config/routes.php file to point to the correct location (rather than the newly deleted welcome page)

I Take it alpha is the method inside the controller and A will be the first parameter?
