Right. So i think there's some terminology that i need to clarify. In my code hacking, i've taken it to mean that 'posts' encompasses all content types, whereas if you are talking about specific types, the terms to use are 'entries' and 'pages'. This is definitely the way the database schema presents things, as well as the Posts class etc etc.
So if in the ACL page, the property "Permissions on one's own posts:" actually means permissions on 'entries', we should change that. I'm pretty sure it actually means "permissions on any content type that the user has created". To clarify, i don't have _anything_ checked under the lines Permissions to posts of type "entry" Permissions to posts of type "page" So the next part is with nothing selected (not even deny), i thought the default was to deny. Even if it's not, it should be consistent across types (specifically, i should have the option create all or none) On Oct 2, 1:35 pm, drzax <[email protected]> wrote: > Entries (posts) and pages are discrete content types.
