As far as I can see the following things are missing in Section Personalization... at least I think it would make sense to have them for complete options and possibilities.

  • Homepage should have a different list template. Possible to set a template override for homepage context? Hard decision where to add this option: Section -> General -> Templates or Personalization tab?

  • User section settings: "Only Me" should be available for each "Who can view..." parameter. Currently it is in "Who can Post..." only.

  • User section settings have only toggles ON/OFF. Possible to add J! ACL select box?

  • User section settings: Select a Cobalt article from a certain section as extended "Profile/Homepage". Maybe 2nd select box for certain article full-view template? (discussed and commented here)

Good idea.

We have Section Home parameters group in section. That is no connected to personalization. Section may be not personalized but user may want different section home template. Or you are talking about user home page? Then user have to set template for his homepage selecting from allowed templates.

It make no sense. If you do not anyone to see your items simple do not submit them. If you what to hide particular article, just use hide option. That is to my common sense.

I do not think Joomla access levels are possible. If there will be any list those will be cobalt own levels.

This is good and not. For example companies, products scenario. When we see products, company may be selected as profile. At the same time if we use relate field company full view become products homepage or profile.

Just wrote from the top of my head... maybe I overlooked something? Are there two homepage contexts? I was thinking about user's homepage listing. Currently it works with normal view switcher... but i think this is not optimal for this special context. It would be nice to restrict the template for visitors and/or the user itself. At least a default for both.

This allows fine-grained privacy settings, IMHO. I just wonder why it is an option in one parameter, but not in the others. Also, favorites/bookmarked etc. don't have to be MY personal articles. So, this setting is not necessarily related to MY stuff. The homepage OWNER might see ALL his touched articles... but a VISITER should only see the OWNER's articles.

What are Cobalt own levels?! I thought you prefer J! core integration and techniques.

Not sure if I understood. Lost in translation and too much theory ;-)

Hard to explain ;-) Maybe it needs some visual support like screenshots, notes and arrows ;-) Stay tuned.
