Hi there,

I've just installed the advanced forum module, everything is working fine, except for the creation of new forum topics.

When I want to view the topics of a particular forum, the header line tells me:

"You are not allowed to post new content in forum."

Then i came by a module called "forum access" and thought i was missing this. So i installed this module, but I keep getting the same failure.
I already checked the access control page, to see if i was missing something.

Even as a site admin, I am not able to create new forum topics.

Any help is appreciated...

Thanks

P.S.
I am using drupal 5.7 and the latest dev of "advanced forum" module

Advanced forum has nothing to do with access control. Kicking this over to the forum queue.

Hi michelle,

i considered your answer to my issue above, and I tested my forum leaving the "advanced forum" module disabled, and surprisingly enough i was able to post a new topic! without the error above.... are you sure it's not module related?

In which way does this "topic creation field" gets changed by the advanced forum module in relation to the core "forum module" ?

Gr,

It doesn't. That's why I kicked this back to the forum module. I haven't the foggiest idea what would cause this.

Strange, please have a look at my site:

I now have "advanced forum" disabled, and you can see it displays "post a new topic" in the top of the page.

Please let me know after you have checked it, so i can enable the "advanced forum" module again, and see my problem...

I don't know what good seeing it would do, but go ahead. This is working just fine on many other sites so I don't know what to tell you.

Actually, I see what's wrong, and I was right; it's nothing to do with advanced forum. Your forums have become disassociated from the vocabulary. See http://drupal.org/node/90214

Well, that _should_ fix it. I don't know what else to try, sorry, and I'm too swamped to try and troubleshoot it further. Putting this back in the proper queue because this is a core forum issue. I gave it a more descriptive title. Hopefully someone else can help.

Good luck,

Michelle

You're in luck... I managed to screw up my own site so badly trying to fix an obscure bug that I broke my forums in the process and had to take the time to figure this out. Here you go:

INSERT INTO `YOUR_DATA_BASE_NAME`.`vocabulary_node_types` (`vid`, `type`) VALUES ('1', 'forum');

Replace YOUR_DATA_BASE_NAME with the name of your database and '1' with the ID of your forum vocabulary.

Thanks Michelle, have you also found out why this row was missing in the table?

I imagine I lost it somehow with enabling and disabling the forum module over and over while I was trying to fix another problem. Beyond that, no idea. Some obscure forum bug, I guess.

I have done exactly what was explained above. Is there something else that I might be missing? I'm going to go and try to remove all forums and start fresh. I'll post the results.

Update... seems to fix the issue if you remove the main "forum" vocabulary item and then start over by adding a new container. Very strange.
