Correct. Only admins could read the private forums.
Ok. I solved it by installing the Members plugin and creating a new role that only allowed “Publish topics” and “Publish replies”. That got rid of the “Add Topic” and “Add Reply” options in the horizontal Admin bar and solved the problems I had.
Also, as soon as I give the user any Page permission (reader, author, editor) he can see all the private forums in the Topic Attribute select box.
update: That problem might not be related so I appologize for posting it in this thread.
Ok. I tried again as Admin and still the forum I select does not kick in with the Topic.
I´m having the same problem actually.
I´m using Role Scoper and have the following permission:
The user has a Forum Participant role with a “Topic Author” role added to it. When I add a topic from the Admin panel I can choose all of the available forums that are not private.
The forum I select is doesn´t tag along when I post the topic and therefore it is added as a topic in no forum. I can see it because the forum doesn´t list it but the “Recent topics” widget does.
Blue.
