Thanks for this module. We are using it on two different sites. When we updated to 6.x-1.x-dev from 2010 Jan 15 we are experiencing something odd. Everything, so far, seems fine on one site while on the other there is no check box showing for "skip journal entry". Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks,

Izzy

The problem has been resolved. It appears to be related to problems when installing the BAWstats module. Haven't tracked down the specific problem, but it seems fine. Thanks,

[Edit] Further examination shows this is not correct. It is not related to BAWstats. See next comment.

Sorry to be going back and forth on this issue. I have made it active again.

I have taken a closer look and there is some conflict that I still need to track down.

It is not related to the latest dev version (2010 Jan 15) and it is not related to the BAWstats module.

The site which has the problem shows the same behaviour with earlier versions of Journal.
User1 sees the check box to skip Journal entries but other roles with access to Journal entries do not see the check box.

This does not happen on another site suggesting there is a conflicting module that exists on the problem site.
I will need to track it down and report back.

Yes, I definitely need some help.

I have installed the Journal module on a brand new install of Drupal 6.15.
I have created a role admin and given that role permission to access Journal.

When I look at some specific pages such as /admin/build/modules or /admin/user/permissions the Journal entry field shows as required with an asterix. However, only user1 sees the check box to skip journal entry. The check box is not visible to the admin role.

How can I get the skip journal entry check box to show for roles that can access journal?

I have one site where it does work but I haven't a clue how I got that working.

Thanks,

Izzy

This checkbox is only available if Devel module is installed. Only "developers", i.e. users with the "access devel information" user permission are allowed to skip journal entries.

@sun Thanks for the answer. I might never have figured that out.
Maybe this needs to be added to the documentation?

I wonder now if I should make this a feature request?
That is, a new permission to allow specific roles access to the skip journal entry check box.
This would be useful in circumstances where you may not need the devel module and may be cleaner than having the access dependent on another module.

Thanks,

Izzy
