Disable Tags Creation for non-Admins

1

Hi! Anyone knows how to do this? I bet this would help some people as well to disallow random tag creation and only allow users to choose from existing tags when editing or creating a task. Hope anyone can help and wishing them thanks and merry christmas in advance!

I see the point, and I find this a very reasonable request. Unfortunately, I don’t have a solution for you. You need to create a plugin that overlays to templates for task creation, edit and bulk add.

no, i think its actually 1 line of code in a plugin.php.

$this->projectAccessMap->add('TagController', array('create', 'save', 'edit', 'update', 'confirm', 'remove'), Role::APP_ADMIN);

go to your plugin folder, make a directory called AdminTags

make a file in said directory called Plugin.php

paste this code in it:

<?php

namespace Kanboard\Plugin\AdminTags;

use Kanboard\Core\Plugin\Base;
use Kanboard\Core\Translator;
use Kanboard\Core\Security\Role;

class Plugin extends Base
{
  public function initialize()
  {
    $this->projectAccessMap->add('TagController', array('create', 'save', 'edit', 'update', 'confirm', 'remove'), Role::APP_ADMIN);
  }
  public function getPluginName()
  {
    return 'AdminTags';
  }
  public function getPluginAuthor()
  {
    return 'Your name';
  }
  public function getPluginVersion()
  {
    return '1.0.0';
  }
  
  public function getPluginDescription()
  {
    return 'Restricts tag creation to admins';
  }
  public function getPluginHomepage()
  {
    return '';
  }
}

im on a cell phone so, id check for typos…

Restart kanboard server, test. if that doesnt work, then yes, like alfred said you will need to override some templates. But im 80% sure this is all you need.

After getting home and actually taking a look, unfortunately, the task modification/creation forms go straight to the models, and not through the controllers.

So, this is pretty much a pain in the butt to do. It’s not even as simple as overriding templates.

Hi! Appreciate the help in entertaining my concern @alfredb @creecros

So does this mean it’s not something that’s easily done by modifying some codes on the .php files?

if you know what you are doing you can pull it off. i could do it, but i dont feel like investing the time to do it, as it will not be simple. sorry.
