Hey guys,

So my admin user is the only person who can edit scoops over on WindyCitizen.com. This is really, really getting annoying now that we have a few hundred people using the site each day.

What could be causing this?

Here's are my Drigg permission settings for the "Editor" role:

Access Drigg Stories X
Create Drigg Stories X
Create-as powers in drigg No check
delete drigg stories X
drigg ad free site X
edit drigg stories X
edit own drigg stories X
edit own promoted drigg stories X
kill drigg stories X
no drigg redir for duplicate url X

And yet the "editor" role doesn't see the "edit" tab on scoops.

What else could be causing this bizarre problem? All the other content types work fine.

Hi,

Very strange.
I am finding it very hard to reproduce this issue. Especially now that I no longer have a Drupal 5.x to play with -- and FSDaily seems to work fine.

Are you willing/able to do some hard core debugging on this one?
Or, give me temporary FTP access to the site to see if I can work out what's going on?

Merc.

Hello,

Suddenly I also don't see the EDIT tab anymore (worked until now, for 1 year) but if i add /edit at the end of the scoops i can modify them.

It it the same problem that you are facing ?

Bye.

Me too since yesterday or today, not sure. Worked for 9 months.

Yesterday I updated my version of Drupal which was still the one from september 2008 (I know it's bad, that's why I finally did it)

I also updated those modules:
comment_notify, inactive_user,logintoboggan (could be the one at fault, but I tried disabling it to no effect) nodewords_nodetype, page_title,token

and note that the edit and view tabs are there for other nodetypes such as page.

but on drigg nodes, no such tabs, but I can edit by adding /edit to the url or via the content list

loggued in as admin! I don't know about site users, I didn't try.

what is going on?

Hi,

I just found that the new version of PAGE_TITLE module was the problem.

It installed the previous verison again and EDIT came back !

Hope it helps !

I too reverted (uninstalled the module and reinstalled the previous version since there was a change in database schema)
and now it works
I use 5.x-2.0 from december 2008 and 5.x-2.1 from 11th june creates the problem

I tried just heading to domain.com/node/nid/edit for the nodes I can't edit, but I get access denied, so its not that.

Yes, I'm sorry but the problem I had was not the same as yours since you have a problem with editors, me it was with the admin user, so my messages need to be discarded/ignored.

Hi,

Guys, can you please _all_ of you rebuild the Node Access permission table in Drupal? :-D

Merc,

Could it be this: http://drupal.org/node/122476#comment-641611

If Drigg's using an input format for its summary field that my users don't have permission to use, Drupal won't let them edit those nodes, right?

Where do I select or edit the input format the Drupal scoop submit form uses? I can't seem to find that anywhere. Is it hard-coded into the module? If so, then I'll need to work on my permissions. This sounds like it could be the problem.

Update: Nope. That didn't fix the problem.

Hi,

"If Drigg's using an input format for its summary field that my users don't have permission to use, Drupal won't let them edit those nodes, right?"

Ah, that is exactly correct!

The format used by Drigg is not hard coded. You can select it in the Drigg configuration forms!
Please close this bug if you fund out that this is definitely a format permission problem!

Thread closed. I played with this some more and it was in fact an issue with input formats.
