CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Below are CiviCRM ACL (Permissioning) Issues we have been trying desperately to solve (hopefully through CMS Modules, but definitely not hacks that would make CiviCRM impossible to upgrade):

* Without full access to the CMS back-end, a registered user cannot create a CiviCRM event;
* Same cannot manage or view/edit/delete his/her own CiviCRM events;
* Same cannot be configured to access or edit/delete other events but his/her own;
* Same cannot be configured to create a contribution page of his/her own;
* Same cannot be configured to have access and manage his/her own contribution page;
* Same cannot be configured to search contribution pages by contributor name(s) or e-mail (s);
* Same cannot be configured to create an e-mail blast using civiMail;
* Same cannot be configured to have full access to his/her own e-mail template;
* Same cannot be configured to create and manage groups;
* Same cannot be configured to have access or to edit/delete his/her own group;
* Same cannot be configured to view and join other groups;
* Same cannot be configured to search other members by name(s) or e-mails.

To solve above issues in our chosen CMS, Acquia Drupal:

* We have exhausted Drupal and CiviCRM Forums and found no easy (or difficult) solutions to implement. Just more questions.
* We have reached out to the CiviCRM professional community for Pro-Bono Services and expectedly received no response. Just good luck.
* We have attended a Hands-on Training Session in New York for Customizing and Extending CiviCRM and now we need your help. Just keep reading

WANTED: PRO-BONO PHP/DRUPAL PROBLEM-SOLVERS

CiviCRM's Donald Lobo advised that we use Drupal Hooks with PHP Codes to create Drupal Module in Stable or Release Version of CiviCRM 3.0. To make this happen, we are:

1) Documenting CiviCRM Seminar Lessons and Findings;
2) Creating a Development Guide or Road Map (of Sorts); and
3) Immediately Working on Codes, Module(s), and sadly even Hacks.

We would love to share all of the above in exchange for any and all possible PHP/Drupal help you can provide. Best if you also already know Drupal, or even better Acquia Drupal. I really do pray that by now you're more than interested in helping us out. You are actually challenged. Better yet, you are amused if solutions to our issues already exist and I just haven't finished my homework. So please do not hesitate to contact me directly at any time. Thank you very much for your time and attention, and in joyful hope, no matter what, I remain vigilantly looking forward to hearing from you soon!
