forum_access 6.x-1.0-beta2

This is BETA2 of Forum Access for Drupal 6.

We do not recommend installing it on a production site, but we encourage you to test it and provide feedback (both good and bad!) in the issues queue. See #220935: Released for D6- [Forum Access] for details.

You must update to the latest ACL BETA4 (or later) before installing Forum Access BETA2!

Changes since BETA1:
Enhancements:
- Collapse Moderators fieldset if empty.
- Factor out form and batch code into .inc files.
- Implement batch mode to support correct updating (using node_access_acquire_grants() rather than node_access_write_grants()).
- Implement grant priority.
- Provide help for getting along with Content Access.
- #109924: Add optional forum_access_preprocess_forum_list(&$variables) function to provide moderators in the $forums template variable.
- #109924: Add new forum_access_get_moderator_uids($tid) function (requires new ACL version!).

We're very excited about this version — this is the level of functionality that we needed to reach for a first D6 release. Please help to ensure that it also has the required quality!

Note: The devel_node_access module, which is part of the Devel module, provides an in-depth view into the inner workings of node access, especially if you enable its debug mode at admin/settings/devel#edit-devel-node-access-debug-mode . This is a big help for understanding the forces that are controlling access to any given node.

Note the Drupal core issues listed on the Forum Access front page.
