Forum Posts by members of a group don't appear in the forum container/list?

You are probably using the forum_access module, which you cannot do when using this module.

I wish that was true, but I am not using the forum access module. The posts do not appear anywhere in the og created forums. I have replicated this on two fresh Drupal 5.6 installs.

Did you apply the patch to OG as mentioned in the README? Does your og_term table exist? Is this a new install or an upgrade? Did you run update.php if an upgrade? Do you have php5 at least? Give more detail of your setup.

* Did you apply the patch to OG as mentioned in the README?

Yup!

* Does your og_term table exist? Is this a new install or an upgrade?

Checked! Yup!

* Did you run update.php if an upgrade?

Wasn't an upgrade.

* Do you have php5 at least?

Yup!

I will do another install this week and document my exact steps and post them here. Perhaps I am missing something or the documentation needs a bit more detail at some point.

Check the closed issues here in the queue. This may have come up before. I seem to recall seeing that at some point, but can't remember the conditions. Report on your OG settings and your og_forum settings as well, preferably with a ScreenGrab! (a FireFox plugin) screen shot in FireFox.

I have the same problem. Users that don't have administration privileges (over forums, I suppose) post to the forum but the audience does not get set (it is selected when it's posted). Checking og_ancestry shows that the corresponding entry is there, but group_nid is 0.

I attach two screenshots of og + og_forum settings.

I think the 'Private groups' section in the OG settings is new and I have not upgraded to a version that has that. I think I'm running 4.1 if memory serves me. That might be the problem. Try degrading to 4.1.

Another thing to try is changing audience to required. I thought that it works both ways, but now I am doubting.

Since downgrading is not an option for me at this point, I tried changing the audience to required. It did not change the behavior.

Any clue or any suggestion for a fix, having in mind that only users without forum administration permissions have this problem? With roles that have forum administration permissions (from the forum module) the audience stays set. It is also NOT working when the role has the permission admin own group forum, of the og_forum module.

Any developments on this issue? I had to stop using this module, but actually it's something we quite need in our organisation and I didn't find any other suitable replacement. Is there any more hints I can give on the issue, or maybe some help (though my PHP is probably very much below what would be required to find a fix for the issue)

I have been super busy with work and not able to address this issue yet. However, og_forum is getting what attention I can spare and so this issue will be addressed as soon as I can.

I can 't replicate this problem , sorry .

Can any of the original posters let us know if they are still having problems with all of the latest modules?

@Paul

When posts like this get old and I can't duplicate the issue, I post a 'warning' message that I will close the issue if I don't hear back, and I mark it as "active (needs more info)" so I can easily find it. I usually give them two weeks to add another comment.

@Ryan

Understood , thanks

I can reproduce this problem.

drupal: 5.9
OG F: 5.x-2.1
update: run.

also: not using forum access module.

do have two sites on same install in usual fashion.

the site is http://groups.grid.org, in case looking through a user perspective helps.

I've created a test organic group, and given it forums. I'm leaving off the table prefix in each of the tables.

for a node '1000197' not appearing in a forum...

the following tables seem to have the right rows/keys in them:
'term_node'
'term_data'
'node'

'node_access' has
"nid";"gid";"realm";"grant_view";"grant_update";"grant_delete"
"1000197";"0";"all";"1";"0";"0"

og_term has a row linking the group and term (for the forum).

Apologies , can you reproduce this problem with the development snaphot ?

I have reproduced the problem with the development snapshot.

"It looks like forum posts don't show up in the forums themselves. They show up in the river of news but not in their associated forum."

I could see a problem of this nature for forum posts that were submitted to a group (prior to installing and configuring OG Forum) with a predefined category term. I was able to add these posts to the forum list by editing the post and applying the category term.

@Ryan
Any thoughts captain ?

@paul.booker I've checked the right categories for posts at the drupal interface and db level. I can dump the relevant data if you think that'll help.

Okay, I've found what appears to be the problem.

The 'forum' table doesn't seem to be getting an insert for items in organic group forums. I can force the items to appear by manually inserting a table into [drupalinstallprefix]_forum.

I think this means that the forum_update() and forum_insert hooks in forum.module aren't getting run, as that's where that gets inserted/updated. I've searched for forum_insert and forum_update in my codebase and couldn't find one, so that doesn't seem to be the problem.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I'll have to refer you to someone with more experience of this module

@Ryan
Can you suggest any advise ?

Paul
