Features

The owner extension allows you to change the owner of a content object.
This extension uses the content browser to let the user choose the new owner.

Usage

The extension adds a menu "Change owner" to the context sensitive popup menu in the admin interface.
Read http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/user_manual/3_6/the_administration_interface/the_content_structure_tab for more
information about the usage of this menu.

You can also add a button for changing the owner to your own templates.
In a view template for a node, you can put the following code:

{def $currentUser=fetch('user','current_user')
$canChangeOwner=fetch( 'user', 'has_access_to', hash( 'module', 'owner', 'function', 'all') )}

{if $canChangeOwner}
<form action={concat('owner/change/', $node.contentobject_id)|ezurl} method="post">

{/if}
{undef $canChangeOwner $currentUser}

Additionally, you can specify where the content browser has to start when browsing for a new owner.
The following code makes the content browser start at the parent node of the current owner's main node.

{def $currentOwner=$node.object.owner
$currentOwnerGroup=$currentOwner.main_node.parent
$currentUser=fetch('user','current_user')
$canChangeOwner=fetch( 'user', 'has_access_to', hash( 'module', 'owner', 'function', 'all') )}

{if $canChangeOwner}
<form action={concat('owner/change/', $node.contentobject_id, '/group/', $currentOwnerGroup.node_id)|ezurl} method="post">

{/if}
{undef $canChangeOwner $currentUser $currentOwnerGroup $currentOwner}
