Releases for Forum Access

Release notes

This is RC2 of Forum Access for Drupal 7.

It has all the functionality of the D6 version plus extensive tests.

RC2 is a release candidate. We believe it's ready for release, but we need YOUR confirmation under #809404-30: Forum Access for D7 that everything works as expected.

RC2 adds a number of minor bug fixes. One of them may be significant for you: #1321864: Moderator does not see fields added to content type.. The fix may cause your moderators to see more fields on their node add/edit form than they saw before. Please verify that this is working as expected!

Release notes

This is BETA2 of Forum Access for Drupal 7.

It has all the functionality of the D6 version plus extensive tests. BETA2 adds a number of bug fixes.

Release notes

This is version 1.7 of Forum Access for Drupal 6.

Thanks to daffie we now have extensive tests (see #762270: WANTED: SimpleTests for Forum Access for details).
1.7 provides fixes for a number of buggy edge cases that were uncovered by the tests.

Forum Access requires the current ACL module.

Release notes

This is ALPHA4 of Forum Access for Drupal 7.

It has all the functionality of the D6 version plus extensive tests. We're still at the alpha stage and there are things that don't work right yet. ALPHA4 is a big step closer to the specs and it passes all its 10679 tests. The support for upgrading from D6 is still completely untested (maybe a job for you?) and support for unpublished nodes is still missing.

We do not recommend installing ALPHA4 on a production site, but we encourage you to test it and provide feedback (both good and bad!) in the issues queue. See #809404: Forum Access for D7 for details.

Forum Access requires the new ACL 7.x-1.0-beta2 (or later) and the Chain Menu Access API modules. If you're running ALPHA1 then be sure to install and enable Chain Menu Access API before updating!

Changes since ALPHA3:
Bugs fixed:
- Implement node and comment edit forms for moderators.
- Fix comment links.
- Disable 'edit own comments' permission and document this.
- Fix the tests to ignore 'edit own comments' but to account for 'edit/delete any/own forum content'.
- Reorder the tests to make the more difficult ones come first.
- In the test suite, rename the roles and users to more accurately reflect the names of the permissions they represent.

Release notes

This is ALPHA3 of Forum Access for Drupal 7.

It has all the functionality of the D6 version plus extensive tests — ALPHA3 passes all 10312 tests. Also, it has support for upgrading fr om D6, but this is completely untested. Still missing is support for unpublished nodes and comments.

We do not recommend installing ALPHA3 on a production site, but we encourage you to test it and provide feedback (both good and bad!) in the issues queue. See #809404: Forum Access for D7 for details.

Forum Access requires the new ACL 7.x-1.0-beta2 (or later) and the Chain Menu Access API modules. If you're running ALPHA1 then be sure to install and enable Chain Menu Access API before updating!

Changes since ALPHA2:
Bugs fixed:
- Major update to fix various bugs and adapt to late changes in the Form API of D7 core.
- Remove remaining references to {acl.name}.
- Clean up / enable tests.
- Port update 6106 to secure upgrade path from D6.
- #1016088: Avoid calling reset() on non-variables.

Release notes

This is ALPHA1 of Forum Access for Drupal 7.

It has all the functionality of the D6 version plus extensive tests. Still missing is support for unpublished nodes and comments.

We do not recommend installing it on a production site, but we encourage you to test it and provide feedback (both good and bad!) in the issues queue. See #809404: Forum Access for D7 for details.

Forum Access requires the current ACL module. You must install ACL to 7.x-1.0-beta1 or later to run Forum Access.

Forum Access also requires the core patch in #553944-154: Define hook_menu_get_item_alter() as a reliable hook that runs before the page is doomed. If you are interested in having Forum Access for Drupal 7, please add your support for that patch over there.
Update: The patch was committed to core after Drupal 7 BETA3 — and I found a way for Forum Access to get by even without the new hook. Thus you can try either the -dev version of FA with any version of D7, or this ALPHA1 with a post-BETA3 version of D7.

Release notes

This is version 1.5 of Forum Access for Drupal 6.

It has a number of bug fixes over 1.4; we recommend that you update to this version.

Forum Access requires the ACL module.

Release notes

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.

Release notes

This version 1.1 has a bug — please do NOT install it.

Upgrade directly to version 6.x-1.2 instead.
