forum_access 6.x-1.3

This is version 1.3 of Forum Access for Drupal 6.

It has a number of bug fixes over 1.2. You should update to make sure that all permissions work exactly as intended.

Forum Access requires the ACL module.

Please note: The default behavior of Forum Access has changed going from D5 to D6: The permissions which used to affect nodes only, but not comments (i.e. posting comments was possible for roles that weren't allowed to post forum topics), have now been extended to comments! IOW, roles without Create access cannot post comments/replies either. However, you can go to admin/content/forum/settings and enable D5 legacy mode to get the old D5 behavior back.

Changes since 1.2:
Bugs fixed:
- #699918: Give forum moderators access to the File attachments fieldset.
- Another 'administer nodes' fix.
- Clarify hook_db_rewrite_sql() code.
- #695690: Fix handling of 'administer nodes' permission.
- #689572: Fix user_access() call without $account parameter.
- #662306: Fix possible uninitialized variable.
- #652226: Fix possible interference with the Image Gallery Access module.

Note: The devel_node_access (DNA) 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 and its second block. This is a big help for understanding the forces that control access to any given node.
