wrong user navigation preferences in Joomla
December 01, 2009, 01:28:14 am
The problem: we create a Joomla User and give the User a Manager role. The user logs in to the front end and looks at one of the Events. That causes Civi to create a Contact record with the user's Navigation preferences set to front end values (option?... rather than administrator/option?..). The user then logs in to the backend to Edit/Create Events. The backend menu appears OK but any attempt to access any submenu item gives a front end page with the message "you do not have permission". Not surprising since the menu items are all pointing to front end urls.

The short term solution is to manually change the navigation field in the civicrm_preferences field and to tell new Managers to login to the back end first. What is the long term solution? Have I simply missed something simple during set up?

hi Cliff,
This issue already fixed ( http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-5349) and will be part of v3.03
You can back-port the changes
Here is patch :  http://fisheye2.atlassian.com/changelog/CiviCRM?cs=25176

( since horizontal navigation menus are not used in Front end, so we skip the menu creation even user first log in to front end. now onward menu will created if the user  login using back end only )
