I'm not sure if I searched correct about this issue but I couldn't seem to find any answers.

The problem I'm having is that if the forum is set to private, then it really is private and can't be seen.
However since I'm using Advanced forum and it has listing done with "Views" module, it seems it doesn't count in the forum access permissions. So if you are watching "forum/unanswered" then the private forum's topic will be still listed.

I'm sorry if this is a duplicate or doing something wrong, but I couldn't find anything regarding to this.

Thanks in advance.

If the topics (i.e. the node titles) are listed, then the view is set to ignore node access. You should be able to fix that in the view definition.

Please let us know how it goes.

Sorry I'm not sure how to do that.. any tips on it?
This is how the views looks like: http://saarman.net/tmp/views.jpg

Thanks.

I think you should find that under Filter Criteria (try to add a new one).

Hi there,

I am having the same 'issue' .

I am using views to show the last 5 forum postings. But in that list the subject of the forum posting in a private forum (only accessible for particular user roles) is shown, the forum name itself is not shown in the list.

Any ideas?

Still the same answer: set the view to respect "node access".

Actually, I think AF should do this by default. Let's ask the AF maintainers.

AF doesn't turn off node access and #4 seems to be having a problem with a non-AF view. So it doesn't sound like this is an AF issue. For reference, here is the AF view mentioned by the OP:

Could this be an issue of caching?

What happens if you click on the node title?

@blogook You posted correctly. Salvis moved it over here. Since you confirmed it's not an AF issue, I moved it back.

Sorry, Michelle, our posts crossed and I unintentionally moved it back to your side a second time. Thank you for your reply.

I don't know what Forum Access could be doing in addition to what it's doing now.
