Can't set permissions for Blog for PrestaShop menu in back office

[Janvier]

I'm looking to set permissions for employees in the back-office. Warehouse comes with the Simple Blog module that appears in the BO menu as Blog for PrestaShop. When I try to set permissions for anyone else the "View, Add, Edit, and Delete" checkboxes uncheck themselves on page reload. This makes it impossible to show the Blog for PrestaShop menu option for the employee.

Also the "All" checkbox for that same module checks all other menus (Catalog, Customers, Orders, etc) when selected but doesn't keep the Blog for PrestaShop checked!

Any way to make this work?

Is this error in prestashop or thirty bees?

[Janvier]

I'm using the latest thirty bees

[lesley]

It might be a bug in the blog module. Does the same functionality work in Prestashop?

[Janvier]

I haven't tried installing prestashop to test this

[lesley]

I think the bug might lie in the actual module itself. It seems I remember hearing about this issue before.

[Janvier]

Ok, I've sent them a message, will report back when I get an answer

[Janvier]

This is the reply

"Hello.

As far as I know there are some fixes needed in blog to make it work corectly with Thirty Bees.

But I'm not 100% sure and I do not support Thirty Bees stores and there is no separate version of theme dedicated to TB stores sorry. It may change in future becouse i may have some time soon to check this fork and and see how much work I will have to do to make it 100%compatible and issue free, but for now since i had not time due focus on ps 1.7 I do not want say that it is compatible or will be compatible for 100% becouse I'm still not sure."

@Janvier can you check chrome console log for errors? The check/uncheck actions are working via ajax and it might be broken if you have some other broken scripts that interfere. I don't think that the employee permissions has got anything to do with the module. I don't mind taking a look at it if you can get me admin access

[Janvier]

I just checked and don't see any errors in the console log

[yaniv14]

When you click on the check box do you see the green success alert message?

[Janvier]

Yes, it pops up as normal. It's only on refresh that it disappears

[yaniv14]

Open the network tab in the dev tools and click on the link that appears after you click on the checkbox. index.php?controller=AdminAccess&token=.................... and check the Response tab for any error.

[Janvier]

I see that when I click the checkbox. Not sure what the response tab is but I get a status 200 ok

[Janvier]

So, it seems like other blog modules (Prestablog) have the exact same issue.

The workaround I've found is to use Salesman permissions instead of Translator. There are more options to select with Salesman and that seems to do the trick. It's a workaround but not a long term solution.

@mdekker Try to create a new menu, I think its not creating the access to all profiles and than when trying to update its fails. I just checked it briefly. The update code is trying to match it to tab id & profile id which comes empty.
