BE User (non admin) cannot create a new blog entry
Support
Is your question related to a problem? Please describe.
Hello, I use this extension for my TYPO3 installation. I have everything configured as admin user and everything works fine. Now I have created some non-admin users as editors. These editors have full access to the page tree (including the blog posts). The main issues I have noticed:
- In the top left corner of the page tree is no green icon to create a new blog entry.
- If I want to change the type of a page there is no entry for blog entry. Only Default, Reference, Link to external URL, Folder and Splitter.
- If I want to edit an existing blog entry I get the following error message:
Sie haben nicht die nötigen Rechte, um diese Änderung durchzuführen. No page edit permission for user 4 on page 256 1437679336 - If I want to copy an existing blog entry I get the following error messages:
1: You cannot change the 'doktype' of page '[Kein Titel]' to the desired value. 1: Attempt to copy record "tt_content:1096" without having permissions to do so. [ERROR: authMode "explicitAllow" failed for field "list_type" with value "blog_sidebar" evaluated]. [...]
I have checked every menu in the TYPO3 backend but I can't find how to un-restrict the usable extensions for normal users and the editor user group has every possible permission (except the Admin flag).
Hello, thank you for your report.
You say "These editors have full access to the page tree (including the blog posts)", do you mean the permissions as configured in the "Access" backend module? If yes, please note the backend user group your user is a member of also needs the available page types configured, please see my attached screenshot:

I have further issues on this topic:
I wonder, how to give a backend user (not admin), the rights to edit blog post meta data? I can’t find it in the user rights management. I guess, there have to be fields in the "page" section, like "featured_image", "tags", etc, but all the blog related fields are missing.

We have a similar problem.
A normal editor can't edit the page properties of a blog page (doctype=138).

It works only for admins.
If I change the doctype to Standard the editor can access the page properties of the blog page again.
The editor and admin can edit the page properties of blog posts (doctype=139), so that's working.
