Hi all,
in the site I am building there are different sections each accessible to a different groups of users identified by different roles; users can have more than one role. I am using Taxonomy Access Control but I do not manage to restrict access to Forums. What I would like is: user with role X can read/write on Forum X user with role X, Y can read/write on Forum X and Y and so on ... I defined Taxonomy Access Permission using the term that is created automatically when you create a Forum but it doesn't seem to work... If the Forum and the Term of the Forum Vocabulary are named "X" I have set Taxonomy access permissions for Anonymous and Authenticated roles as follows: Show-Deny Update-Deny Delete-Deny And for the role "X": Show-Allow Update-Allow Delete-Deny List When log in as a user with role "X" and I try to add a new Forum Topic the drop-down list of Forums is empty! I manage to reply to a Topic added by the admin. Any hints?
There is also a "Create" permission in TAC, which controls the terms appearing in the category selection dropdown list for tagging the node.
It was already set; I just forgot to tell... The category selection dropdown list is empty for the user with role X and normally filled for the admin; I have given the role X all possible permssions related to forums and comments but still the dropdown is empty !
The role also needs "create" and "edit own" general permissions in admin/user/access.
Added, but didn't make any difference.
You may also want to disable the "Update" TAC permission if you don't want that role to be able to edit *anyone's* posts. That one is only good for moderators. It is not needed for privileged "readers".
Second issue: is it possible to have one Forum moderated and another one not moderated on different sections?
You mean with a different URL? Not out of the box as far as I know. Perhaps you could fake a forum using a custom-made "forum" front page with assigned views, a content type and categories.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Regards
Davide
