Permissions >> Node Module >>Access Content is enabled for anonymous user, and it works for unregistered users on all content types. Even if I enter a specific node URL for a forum topic, it is visible to anonymous users. But it doesn't work for the list of all forums on the automatically generated page at ".../ drupal/forum". This is the standard forums-list page, unmodified except for styling and sidebar menus. But when an unregistered user attempts to access it, the access fails, and I get the following PhP error:
[20-Jul-2008 18:22:13] PHP Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/drupal/includes/common.inc on line 1265
It is very important to the functioning of my site that visitors be able to browse the forums, but they can't do that without access to this menu page. Does anyone have an idea what might be going on? I wish I were a programmer and could have walked through a debugging routine, but I'm not and I can't at this point. I hope to learn, but don't have time right now.
I'd appreciate any help.

stevehays commentedThis problem was resolved--for whatever reason--when I upgraded to D 6.3.

stevehays commentedNope. I was wrong. The problem remains. Sorry for the misdirection.

Anonymous (not verified) commentedI'll try looking at the code. I think this might be related to access issues for the Taxonomy module.

Anonymous (not verified) commentedThe only option I see for you is to create a menu and add items that point to the fora. You might be able to use some of the forum and/or taxonomy modules that exists. Check the hundreds of modules by going to the list of modules by name and use your browser in page search facility to search for Taxonomy, Forum and Menu.
There is no forum/list that will give "access content" views nor is there a taxonomy/%taxonomy_vocabulary/list that will give a list of terms for "access content" views. This leaves you with the option of an add-on module that either you create or hope that someone else has.
It should be easy enough for the forum.module to add an option to view the list of forum with "access content". I'm wrestling with whether or not this should be a feature request instead. I'm moving the version to look at this for the cutting edge version. It might get back ported to D6 but I doubt it.

jody lynnWhatever is broken on his site is almost definitely not a core bug.
