Hi Ryan,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Unfortunately I haven't had a spare moment to install KB2.0 yet. Fingers crossed I will get some time this afternoon or tomorrow to do so.

Once I've had a good go through the final version, I'll let you know how it's all going.

Thanks again for everything.

The Prophet

Hi Prophet,

Hope your very well. I just wanted to heck how things are going with you with the final release.

O spotted a post from you i still need to respond to with a number of problems. Things like your migrated 1.3 categories not sorting correctly. You also made a few suggestions which we implemented but i've failed to confirm with you.

I'll locate the post and reply further.

Enhanced Forum Permissions

TheProphet — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 01:48:36 GMT

OK, I have a problem in that 99% of my users have have a default permission set "Forum User" then are assigned to different Member Groups to see different Forums. This OK and fairly standard.

BUT on the odd occasion one of the rooms needs to have "Reply to Post" as the only option, or sometimes a "Read Only" room.

Now currently a users permission is ALWAYS based on their default permissions "Forum User" UNLESS "Forum User" is over written by the forum itself. The problem is I obviously can't get some rooms "Forum User" access. So for select rooms I need to assign different permission sets.

GET 5 People

1 - Admin

2 - Forum User

- Room 2 User

3 - Forum User

- Room 3 User

4 - Forum User

- Room 2 ADMIN

- Room 3 ADMIN

5 - Forum User

Room 1: "Forum Users" can see and post new topics and replies

Room 2: "Room 2 Users" can See this room, and can ONLY reply to topics. "Room 2 Admin" can do anything

Room 3: "Room 3 Users" can see this room, and ONLY READ topics. "Room 3 Admin" can do anything

I hope that makes sense.

So basically.

IF Primary "USER Permission set" NOT part of Forum THEN

USER permission set of secondary permission sets.

NOT just

IF primary "user Permission set" not part of Room then

if secondary permission set exists in room SHOW room and user primary permission set.
