Re: User permissions.

Re: 1)

You must login to the dhoyle blog, http://your.host.com/blojsom/blog/dholye/

You should be able to use the username/password you created on this blog.

Re: 2)

You would have to give that new user the correct permissions. See the previous message about the blojsom 3 permissions page.

I have gotten a little further:

1) I find that Weblog Settings/Blogs lets me create a new weblog.  It also lets me create a user, password, etc. for the weblog.  (Let's call this user dhoyle.)  I now see dhoyle in the blojsom.DBUser table.  There is also now a directory, .../WEB-INF/blogs/dhoyle, which answers one of my questions below.  However, when I go to Weblog Settings/Users, dhoyle is not there.  I also cannot login with dhoyle and his password.

2) After the above results, I decide to create dhoyle via Weblog Settings/Users, thinking that this is needed for dhoyle to be able to login.  This results is a new row in blojsom.DBUsers, where all columns are essentially the same except for a different user_id (key).  After creating this second version of dhoyle, I can now login, but dhoyle cannot do anything.  He gets a message saying that he cannot add an entry, etc.

Still hacking along,

I have just installed blojsom, and I am trying to create new users to get familiar with the system.  My new users are created with and asterisk (*) as their list of permissions.  When they try to add a new entry they get the message, "You do not have permission to edit blog entries&quot;.  &nbsp;Logging in as "default" with the "admin" flavor lets me create a new user, but I cannot edit a user and change its permissions to something else to try improving the user's permissions.


The blojsom documentation mentions user blogs and user permissions being in a directory named  $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/blojsom/WEB-INF/blogs/<;blog user name>.  Under .../WEB-INF/blogs, I only have the "bootstrap" and "default" directories.  To create a new user, do I have to also create a directory for them under .../WEB-INF/blogs?

Thanks,

Danny
