Adam,
Looking for a bit more on BackendPro’s ACL model. While the included Control Panel is a start, some notes on best practices for a site would be helpful. What I am thinking of something that gives advice in the following organizational areas:

1. a user is limited to being in a single group, but groups can be hierarchically arranged. So a user in a nested group is also in all groups toward the root of the group tree. What are good ways to used to set up the hierarchy to exploit this?

2. resources are also heirarchical and support actions. When are actions more appropriate than the hierarchy?
The sample orients resources around and UI artifact, the control panel. Is it better to organize resources around the UI core site capabilites such as members, products and payments?

Forget this comment, I just read all the files one by one and found the class Site_controller in My_Controller… still doesn’t explain why I got the above error but I’ll be able to debug it.

I was looking for a project such as backendpro and I’m glad I found it.

However, I’ve correctly installed the script and I still got that error when accessing the admin area.

An Error Was Encountered
Unable to load the requested class: status

I’ve tried to debug it, probably spent around an hour and haven’t found the Site_controller, even through file searching, some kindda annoying.

@Chris: I feel this is an issue with the way Matchbox has overwritten the original Loader code. Sadly Matchbox is not my code and since 0.6.1 is being replace soonish by 1.0 I am reluctant to support it. If you have a fix then thats good, its nothing to do with the configuration of BackendPro.

@navy92f: Sadly the useguide could be explain this a little bit better. You are doing it correct now. I will take note of this for 1.0 and include some more detailed tutorials on the subject.

hello
the backendpro is very cool
i have a problem.
i want to use the ‘group’ utility,and to assign the group
some permission .here i got wrong(i got blocked from the site).
and i find a “right” way:
first assign a group a site access permission.
second block this group from a resource.

i dont know the normal way of assigning permissions,and i cant find this in the guide.
could you tell me the method?
thx

I try to solve this problem by moving the “system/scaffolding” folder to “system/application/scaffolding”, and modified some code in Controller and Loader class to point to the new location which seems to work now. (still testing)

I still don’t know whether this problem is an existing bug or I just made some mistake when configuring the BEP.

Wish you could reply~ thanks a lot.

Hi, thanks for the great library!
However after I installed the BackendPro 0.6.1, the scaffolding function broke. (It was a clean installation, I just downloaded the CodeIgniter and installed BEP) The system shows an error message when I try to use scaffolding function: An Error Was Encountered
Unable to load the requested file: no_data.php.

I digged into the log file and found out that the CI_Loader failed to load ‘no_data.php’. The debug info is listed here:

Could you please check it for me? I’m quite confused. Thank you!

Thanks for that. Currently there is no roadmap, I am hoping to release one in 1.0, but as with all things too much to do, too little time. People can contribute most by reporting issues and bugs in the BackendPro CodeIgniter forum post. As for people developing new things, I am happy for you to send me new features but I want to be very careful at what goes into the release. So I may link others to your feature if they require it but there is no guarantee it will get used.

Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you very much for the great work you have produced even more appreciated that it is open for use and upgrading,
is there a roadmap or a bit of insight on future features you might have in mind or on your task list ?
is there any open source contribution ?
whatever I do that might have little value whatsoever will come back to you
Kind Regards
Tibor
