Forum Role permissions, How do I set up role permissions for containers and forums?

Stephen Winters - September 20, 2005 - 22:23

Hi,
I'd like to create several forum containers, each containing several forums. Is it possible to assign or restrict some of containers/forums to different roles. For instance

(These containers and forums would be open to the general public(Annonymous users)

1. Public Announcements (Container)

1a.) Announcement Board - (Forum - open to public)
1b.) Employment - (Forum - open to public)

2. General Category (Container)

2a.) General Discussion - (Forum - open to public)
2b.) How to's - (Forum - open to public)
2c.) Humor Board - (Forum - open to public)

3. Upholstery - Public (Container)

3a.) Upholstery Questions
3b.) Training Centers

(These containers and forums would be open to the general members)

4. Upholstery (Container)

4a.) Upholstery techniques (Forum - open to general members)
4b.) Management (Forum - open to general members)

(These containers and forums would be open to the Professional Members)

5. Pro Upholsterers Members

- Professional members (Container)
5a.) Chat Room (Open only to Professional members)
5b.) Preferred Suppliers(Open only to Professional members)
5c.) Special Topics(Open only to Professional members)

How would I set up roles and/or permissions so that Anonymous roles could access containers/forums 1-3. General members/roles, could access containers/forums 1-4, and Professional Members/roles could access containers/forums 1-5.

I have looked and couldn't find any way to assign roles and permissions to forums. Could someone tell me how to do this?

Thanks
Stephen

You want to look at either

Taxonomy Access Control or Organic Groups.

Both of these modules will give you some of the functionality you are looking for.

My first choice would be Taxonomy Access Control.

problem when attempting to patch the taxomony.module

jrcarr - September 21, 2005 - 05:07

I receive the following when I try and run the patch. I have the taxomony.module, taxomony_access.module and taxomony.patch all in the same directory. I have also added the tables to the database. Any suggestions?
Hunk #1 FAILED at 387.
Hunk #2 FAILED at 441.
Hunk #3 FAILED at 466.
Hunk #4 FAILED at 485.
Hunk #5 FAILED at 521.

Hunk #13 FAILED at 837.
Hunk #14 FAILED at 1015.
14 out of 14 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file taxonomy.module.rej

Try putting

taxonomy.patch and taxonomy.module in the same directory without tax_access.module. Then, attempt the patch. If that doesn't work, email me using my contact form -- I have a working version of tax_access and the patched taxonomy.module for 4.6.3, and I'll be glad to email them to you.

Cheers,

Help...

vancelee - September 21, 2005 - 06:15

I need help too... (taxonomy_access)

I followed all instructions in INSTALL.txt provided, but there is absolutely no effect and nowhere I can set the roles for disallowing them to view certain terms.

Could anyone please tell me how this module can be used?
Where can I set the permissions?

Same problem

jrcarr - September 21, 2005 - 13:02

Made no difference, got the same output. Please email to drupal@carrscorner.com Thanks

Jack

At the risk of straying off topic

for those of you who want a version of the patched taxonomy_access module, and a configured site using tax_access, I just updated my blog with a link to a pre-configured site that uses tax_access.

It is designed for an educational setting, but the set up is open and flexible enough (it is Drupal, after all :) to be useful in a few different circumstances.

Cheers,

Strange. If I remember

venkat-rk - September 21, 2005 - 13:18

Strange. If I remember right, the patch came out quite a while ago. Is the tar ball still not providing the patched version and one has to do it manually?

I am asking because I was planning to use it within the next few days and but for this thread, would have been blissfully unaware of the need to apply the patch manually.

Would appreciate a clarification.

Thanks.

How do you apply the Patch manually?

Stephen Winters - September 21, 2005 - 14:28

If applying the patch manually will solve the problem, can someone give detailed steps of how to "apply the patch". I've never done that before and don't hava a clue what that means.

Thanks

Thanks, but not exactly. I was wondering why the taxonomy patch of many months ago had not made it to the tarball.

pyromanfo maybe busy

tostinni - September 21, 2005 - 17:10

Well, I don't know why he hasn't change this, there's some issue in queue still unsolved, but I hope he'll had some time to see these.

I think the patch required for

taxonomy_access is a patch to the taxonomy module that needs to be applied in order for taxonomy_access to work.

AFAIK, the taxonomy_access module works with the existing tarball from the Downloads section.

I have used this module in 4.6.3, and it has been a pretty smooth experience.
