Hi Josh,

Many thanks for your comments. Nice suggesting with regards to the default drop down list text.

[quote]We may want to be able to set some permissions on a Forum, that specifies, for example, the maximum size of an attachment, so that if the Test Forum Epi-X were configured to allow a 4 megabyte attachment, but a user of the "State EPI" Member Group had the ability to post 8 megabyte attachments in general, that this member would be overridden by the Forum permissions and thus only be able to post a 4 meg attachment.[/quote]

This is certainly supported using permission sets.

You'll need to duplicate your State EPI member group permission set, call this say "State EPI 4mb limit", then set the attachment size to 4mb for this permission set. Then for the forum you wish to impose the limit for the "State EPI" group click the "Edit Permissions" option. Then associate the State EPI 4mb limit permission set to the "State EPI" group specifically for the forum and click save.

You can find more information with regards to permissions within the v4.0 documentation @...

Hope this helps, please don't hesitate to respond with any questions :)

Ryan,

I just created a forum called "Test Forum Epi-X", and I see now that to Edit this particular Forumn, I go to the drop down list. This was confusing for us. Perhaps some labels or column headings could be added to give context to what those drop down boxes are. Or, at least have a "Select an Action:" default value instead of a -.

I think what I saw inside it may have answered another question:

We may want to be able to set some permissions on a Forum, that specifies, for example, the maximum size of an attachment, so that if the Test Forum Epi-X were configured to allow a 4 megabyte attachment, but a user of the "State EPI" Member Group had the ability to post 8 megabyte attachments in general, that this member would be overridden by the Forum permissions and thus only be able to post a 4 meg attachment.

Thanks!
Josh

[quote][b]UV2003 (5/23/2005)[/b][hr]I am seeing this problem in the demo site as well. Everything else is looking good though! Thanks for getting it up and running again.[/quote]

I don't believe this is a problem with the demo, the demo will display this message within the admin area if you navigate to a forum with no child forums. I've checked the online demo and everything appears to be working correctly. Looking forward to your comments :)

Hi Mark / Bare,

A few known issues do exist with the previous download. I was a little exciting to get something sent :w00t:

I'm continuing to work through comments and will provide updated files once available ;)

I have done a fresh installation of RC1 v4.0 & have successfully created and managed forums and subforums. Just letting you know it is working, on my end.

Although, I haven't done an upgrade. it was strictly a fresh installation, at this point.

There are no forums to edit at this level. Please use your browsers back button or click here to the previous page.

My forums and topics appear to be in the db but nothing on the main page and when I go into the admin and hit manage forums.. I get the note above.
