ContentModeratorPermissions x ModeratorPermissions extension

[Adriano Faria]

I'm adding a new content moderator permission on my app:

	public function getPermissions( $toggles )
	{
		$return['can_convert_rev_com'] = 'YesNo';

		return $return;
	}

But it is creating a new tab:

Shouldn't it add my permisison to the existing CONTENT tab?

That way it won't make any difference in use ContentModeratorPermissions or ModeratorPermissions extension.

Tks.

No, if you create an extension then the permission will be used only in your extension. If you want to add a permission for everything else to use, you should create a hook on the existing Content and/or ContentGenerator extensions.

Ok, but what's the difference between them as both you will add a new tab?

You couldn't add ContentModeratorPermissions extension if you haven't ContentRouter extension with declared classes

ContentRouter extension will automaticaly add a tab. Just call it ItemModPermissions

Comment 

$this->classes[] = 'IPS\downloads\File';

in the \applications\downloads\extensions\core\ContentRouter\Files.php

Result

 

ContentModeratorPermissions will add new permission(s) to ItemModPermissions

Create new for Downloads

Result

ModeratorPermissions will add a new tab. See Downloads (\applications\downloads\extensions\core\ModeratorPermissions\Files.php) for example.

I'm not sure I understand the question - sorry. Can you clarify? If you added a plugin on the existing extension, it wouldn't add a new tab (on its own at least).

The extension system allows you to define custom/unique permissions for your app. Downloads could have "Can manage revisions" this way, for instance, while still inheriting the global default permission options.
