I have an view with an exposed filter in a block.
Guests with the standard role "Anonymous" only see the <Any> option in the select list, instead of all og groups (the filter filters wether the content is a post in this group or not).
These are the things i tried:

  • unexpose the filter --> everything works fine
  • display expose filter in block set to no --> same problem
  • enable Ajax for this view --> exposed filter breaks --> another issue?
  • set "access all views" to true for Anonymous in user/permissions --> same problem
  • set "administer nodes" to true for Anonymous in user/permissions --> everything works fine

This is my site, try to use the select list on the right of the top called "Region wechseln":
www.art-of-movement.net

Any ideas welcome!

I have the same problem on my site (Drupal 6.26, Views 6.x-2.16). Authorized users can use exposed filter without problem, but anonymous users see only -Any-. Adding "administer nodes" for anonymous users solves a problem, but this is definitely not a solution. Raised priority in accordance with http://drupal.org/node/45111 because this bug makes exposed filters unusable for most users.

Well as you linked above this is an issue of the honeypot module, see it will be fixed there one day: #1274596: My Anonymous Users Can't use Exposed filters

Dawehner, you are wrong. This problem does not connected to Honeypot module: I don't have this module at all, just standard Views and CCK, but all my anonymous users can't use exposed filters. To be more precise, they can't use exposed filters based on taxonomy: all that they see in such filters is -Any- and an empty line. Seems like a problem with access to the taxonomy dictionaries to me. You can see it at this URL: http://istmat.info/documents

Well even you posted in the issue of honeypot so ...

Regarding proper help, do you have setup taxonomy access on your site? Views should respect them, so if anon users can't access them this is not a bug.

No, I have only standard Taxonomy and Content Taxonomy modules.

I have installed a new empty Drupal site and started to add modules of the same version as on my working sites. So far it works as expected: anonymous users can see all options in the exposed filters. I need some time to fully reproduce bug and find out conditions which leads to it's appearing.

UPD: I have found out the reason of this bug: it's a Forum Access module. And even find the corresponding issue for it: http://drupal.org/node/1703378. So, I think, this issue may be closed.
