Hi,
I have a similar issue as reported in http://drupal.org/node/346474. Following setup:
Drupal 6.9
OG 6.1.1
OG Forum 6.1
OG Calendar 6.1
OG Mandatory Group 6.1.0-Beta-1
Advanced Forum 6.1.0-RC1
In my group's block, I have a link "Create Forum topic". Using this link, creating a topic works for all users.
I also have a link "Group forums". If I click on it, I navigate to the forum and the group's block disappears (I will post another issue for that in a second). I can click there: "Post New Forum Topic". By clicking this link the form for creating a new post comes up. Submitting this form as administrator works, but not for authenticated users, who are members of the given group. They get the message:
"You must join a group before posting on this web site."
If admin creates a post, the post is correctly added to the group's forum.
Some more settings, which might be relevant for reproducing this bug:
OG Settings:
- Group Forum content type is configured as a OG standard group post
OG Forum Settings:
- Would you like all group forums to be placed in the same container? -> checked
- Automatic forum publicity -> not checked
- Allow public choice -> not checked
- Make all forums public -> not checked
Do you need any further details? It seems very strange that users can create a post using the link in the group's block, but not if they are in the group's forum. A reason might be that the block of the group is not shown on the forum page.
Thanks for looking in this!

I noticed a difference between both "create topic" forms. If I use the "Create forum topic" link from the group's block, the URL of this form is:
/node/add/forum?gids[]=16
If I use the link "Group forums" from the group's block and afterwards click on "Post new forum topic", the link of the form is:
/node/add/forum/4
I added a debug statement at the top of the function "theme_og_forum_display". It seems that this function doesn't get called while showing the forum. Maybe some other function is overriding this one?!

I just tested the 6.x-1.2 release some minutes ago.
The link "create forum topic" in the group's block brings up the form, but I get the "you must join a group" message on submit.
The link "group forum" in the block leads to a strange URL, which doesn't comply with what I have set in the auto URL settings if this group has no posts in the forum yet. If the group already has a post, the URL of this link is correct.
In both cases, I get to a forum overview and can use the link "create new topic" to create a new topic. However, the topic doesn't show up in the group's forum. Do I need to somehow readd group forums to my existing groups?

for 5.x-2.3 it gives "Must join group" for both links....

Thanks for everyones help here .
I tried to fix something too quickly and ended up making things worse.
Some people never learn :-(
@advseb
I'll try and get to the compatibility issues with Advanced Forum at the moment my time
is limited to do this. We could definitely do with another project lead / developer
on this module who could share the work load this module deserves another pair
of hands in my opinion.
Best Paul

Would you update this issue in the light of improved AF integration

#18
Since the report, I have moved away my side from AF and did most of the theming on my own. Therefore, I don't have a reliable test case anymore.

Hi, NOTE: I am not using advanced forum.
* I've tested this with og_forum-6.x-2.0-rc3 and og_forum-6.x-2.x-dev.
* I can post as admin in both cases.
* Cannot post as teacher who owns the group (and is a member) with either.
Suggestions sought for Forums in Organic groups.
Thank you,
David

Subscribing.
I, too, would like to add forum functionality for my organic groups, but like David I'd rather not use Advanced Forum because I don't need all that additional overhead.

Hello og_forum maintainer -- are you back from summer vacation, labor day?
This is still an issue.
Please advise if you will be maintaining this module.
