I've installed the UserGroup Mod, have private forums turned on, I've created and set a new forum to 'Allowed Member List (Hidden)'
and gone into the Usergroups manager and set the forum permissions to 'Allow'
and then checked in the new forum properties that the usergroup has the permissions set to 'Allow'
But when I login in as a user of one of those groups, it doesn't matter what setting I've set on the forum - allow, deny, read-only or do not set, I can't see the forum and if I reset the forum as 'Allowed Member List' (and not hidden) I can see the forum but am not allowed access.
I've tried logging out and logging back in but that didn't make any difference either
Everything seems to be ticking the right boxes but for some reason it just doesn't work and allowing a usergroup doesn't allow them to see or gain access to the forum
I've searched and this has show up in the results several times without a definate solution - Has anyone any ideas< |

I've just checked the database and the table form_allowed_usergroups is being modified by the form within the Usergroups manager
Default/Allow = 0
Deny = 1
Read only = 2
Don't set = no entry in table

Going through the code changes in the Usergroup Mod, the following doesn't make sense to me:
quote:
In Forum.asp
approximately line 168 add:
'####### Begin UserGroup MOD #######
if strPrivateForums <> "1" and (Request.Form("Method_Type") <> "login") and (Request.Form("Method_Type") <> "logout") and ForumChkSkipAllowed = 0 then
result = ChkForumAccess(Forum_ID, MemberID, true)
end if
'####### End UserGroup MOD #######
quote:
this and surrounding code looks like:
if strPrivateForums = "1" and (Request.Form("Method_Type") <> "login") and (Request.Form("Method_Type") <> "logout") and ForumChkSkipAllowed = 0 then
result = ChkForumAccess(Forum_ID, MemberID, true)
end if
(1)'####### Begin UserGroup MOD #######
if strPrivateForums <> "1" and (Request.Form("Method_Type") <> "login") and (Request.Form("Method_Type") <> "logout") and ForumChkSkipAllowed = 0 then
result = ChkForumAccess(Forum_ID, MemberID, true)
end if
'####### End UserGroup MOD #######
(2)
if strModeration = "1" and AdminAllowed = 1 then
strUGView = Application(strCookieURL & "STRUGVIEW")
strUGMemView = Application(strCookieURL & "STRUGMEMVIEW")
strUGModForums = Application(strCookieURL & "STRUGMODFORUMS")
'####### End UserGroup MOD #######
if strSecureAdmin = "0" then
Session(strCookieURL & "Approval") = "15916941253"
end if
It looks like part of it is repeating the original code (1) and that part of it is missing (2) ??< |

I changed that routine on my installation.
Did you run setup.asp after modifying config.asp, etc?< |

I've tried that but the user is still not allowed access
It seems to me that the forum_allowed_usergroup table isn't being called on because I cannot find any reference to USERGROUP_ID or PERM in the forum.asp code, and without it I can't see how the software would know to allow access to specific groups< |

That routine is in inc_header.asp - search for the following lines:
Immediately before those, insert the following:
That calls on the 200+ lines of changed code from inc_func_common.asp to set permissions, etc.< |

Carefree you are a Star  
For some reason I missed that section of code out when implementing the mod
Now it's in place access seems to work - I just need to remember to tell the usergroup to log out and then log back in for the cookie to be set
Feedback for Carefree: Excellent A++++++, will use again  < |
