hi,
i dont know why i had problems for the anonymous users to post new topics to the core forum. i am using content access module because i need some forums to be private. but even if i removed this module anonymous users could not post new topics. yes i did reconstruct access rights. then when i searched drupal.org i found a thread where menu per role was incriminated, and it effectively corrected the problem to remove menu per role module. but i would like to have menu per role... is there a way to look at what might be exactly the conflict and possibly bypass the problem?
the thread: http://drupal.org/node/337607
thanks!

Please check permissions for anonymous user.

thanks for your time...but...
everything is as it should;
already checked many times...
i tried to add every singles privileges to anon, even those i do not want to, just in case, and it didn't work.
the only thing that resolved the problem is desactivating the menu per role module......

pht3k,

One thing you could try is "un-apply" the patch on the core menu file. (Edit the file and comment out the call to the menu_per_role module.) Then try re-selecting the Menu per Role module to see if you still have an issue. If yes, then that's really weird. If no, then the problem comes from the menu "tweak," which is what I'm guessing would be the problem.

Thank you.
Alexis

when module is active but the call is commented out, everything is just like if the module wasnt activated.
exactly like you expected.
so yes, the tweak is conflicting with the forum's permissions...

Since I do not have D5, it would be hard for me to debug. The small tweak changes the 'access' entry of the item menus and the forum code probably checks that in some incompatible way. Actually, it may be the node/edit code rather than just the forum...

But that explains where the problem really is.

Thank you.
Alexis
