forum_access 7.x-1.0-beta2

This is BETA2 of Forum Access for Drupal 7.

It has all the functionality of the D6 version plus extensive tests. BETA2 adds a number of bug fixes.

The support for upgrading from D6 is still completely untested (maybe a task for you?).

We do not recommend installing BETA2 on a production site, but we encourage you to test it and provide feedback (both good and bad!) in the issues queue. We are especially interested in feedback about upgrading from D6! See #809404-23: Forum Access for D7 for details.

Forum Access requires the ACL 7.x-1.0 (or later) and Chain Menu Access API modules.

Changes since BETA1:
Bugs fixed:
- Use url() to format links in tests to be compatible with qa.d.o.
- Avoid trying to enable non-existing modules in tests (especially on qa.d.o).
- Override the invalid inherited testEnableForumField() test in the ForumTestCase base class.
- #1343568: Fix reference to the test file.
- #1325850: Fix a left-over D6 db_result() call.
- #1244406: Remove ACL version requirement.
- #1228214: Fully qualify field parameter in SelectQuery::condition(), SelectQuery::orderBy() calls.

If you use the third-party Advanced Forum module then you must install a version that is later than 7.x-2.0-beta2. See #1337412-11: Advanced Forum breaks Forum Access 6.x-1.7 for details.

Note: The devel_node_access (DNA) module, which is part of the Devel module, provides an in-depth view into the inner workings of node access, especially if you enable its debug mode at admin/config/development/devel#edit-devel-node-access-debug-mode and its second block. This is a big help for understanding the forces that control access to any given node.
