Is there any way of having more detailed access control for forums? I would like to have forums that can only be viewed by special users as well as public forums. Is this possible with role-based authentification or do I have to use the optional groups module?

thanks for your help,

david

tha patch doesn't apply cleanly to 4.3.2. Do I have to use cvs' HEAD version of drupal?

yes you do need CVS. and you might need CVS as of the date that patch was committed. it may no longer apply cleanly.

This is exactly what I'm looking for! We're only using the forum module, not blogs, and would like some topics to be public and some to be more private. Sounds like taxonomy_access would accomplish this.

Any chance of updating the patch to work with 4.4.0? Pretty plea$e?
