Changing Featuer Content Permssions moves the FC instance! 2.2.5.4 MSSQL

Hi,

I'm using 2.2.5.4 MSSQL, site layout like:

main page -> sub page 1 -> sub sub page 1
main page -> sub page 1 -> sub sub page 2
main page -> sub page 1 -> sub sub page n
main page -> sub page 2 -> sub sub page 1
main page -> sub page n -> sub sub page n

... etc.

I have an html feature content on each page. I have a custom role defined.

When I change the permissions of an html feature content on a sub sub page to give the custom role edit access, the html feature content disappears from the sub sub page, and appears on the main page!

I quickly delete the feature content from the main page, re-create this feature content on the sub sub page, then assign the custom role edit permissons and it happens again. It's gone from sub sub page x, and appears on main page.

This is a Mojo MSSQL DB from a fresh 2.2.5.2 install, running the 2.2.5.4 version of the software.

Hi,

I'm not able to reproduce this using the latest code nor using demo.mojoportal.com

Maybe there are more details required to produce the symptom. Are you logged in as Admin when changing the permission? To change the permission of a feature instance you would click the gear icon next to the title which goes to ModuleSettings.aspx and you would be changing the roles on the Security Tab. Keep an eye on the General Tab as it has a dropdown where you could change the page where the content instance is located. Is it somehow changing it there without you doing anything?

Best,

Joe

Aha!

The "Parent Page" drop down list is defaulting to "Home" as the parent page of the feature content is set to not appear in menu.

The "Parent Page" dropdown list is only showing the pages that appear in the menu. So making a change to the settings of the feature content is re-assigning the feature content instances.

How can I alter the drowdownlist to show all pages, regardless of their "appear in menu" status? Is this a stored procedure?

Many thanks,

Kenny

No, I will have to fix this. At least now I understand what the problem is so it will be easy to fix. In the meantime now that you know what is happening, you should be able to work around it by temporarily making it included in the menu. If you make the page visible only to Admins, then no-one else will see it in the menu anyway.

Best,

Joe

I just fixed it, so the fix will be in svn trunk by tonight and will be in the next release.

Thanks,
