I have created a new content type and allowed the creation of this content type, however it doesn't seem to work cause the user type for which I have allowed the creation of this content type still cant create it. I can only create this content type as admin.

Please help..

Thanks Andre..

How did you create the content type, eg. CCK? And how did you "allow the creation" of it?

Yes I created the content with CCK and I allowed the creation of the content type through access control and set the permission, just as i have done in the past... other CCK content types are working exactly the same way on the site.. its almost as if the site has frozen the access control settings.. well it allows me to click the various checkboxes, saves the settings but doesnt allow the content type to be created... its so strange...

Thanks for looking into it..

I can't think of what else to do. If it's a CCK type, you should get corresponding add_xxx, edit_xxx permissions in the access control. I've you've added these permissions to a role and a user with that role can't add/edit, then there's something weird going on. I can only suggest to double-check these settings. Or perhaps logout/login for the user in question? Or clear your cache perhaps?

The fact that you can create a node of the new type as user 1 suggests the new type is ok. So it seems to come down to permissions.

Andre,

Try resetting permissions - Admin > Content management > post settings > rebuild permissions

I can't find this "rebuild permissions" option. I've looked at the place you suggest and others, but no luck. I tried D5.7 and D6.1.

I have already cleared my cache and rebuilt those settings as I have come across a similar problem before, however this issue is now becoming quite critical because I need to get these new content types to work asap.

In the mean time I have customised another cck content type that had been allowed before the "freeze" to perform the function that I need for now... Its so strange... I have gone so far as to check the database for inconsistencies, I haven't found anything strange, I can send you screen shots of anything that might help you... lists of modules that I have active.. etc...

I have a gut feeling that some of these problems may have been caused by the 16mb Ram limit provided by my hosting company. This limit causes some issues when I enable modules on the site... it causes the activation to timeout, however I just ctlr F5 and then the module activates... do you think throttle may help resolve this issue..

I am also going to disable and re enable certain key modules... wish me luck and thanks again for you help you have clearly got deep insight into the Drupal system...
