Shell Social Network Playground

The forum access module will do the first part. The second part is fixed in the dev version of advforum. I need to make another alpha. I know the project page has a dire warning against using the devs but the current tarball should be ok. I haven't done any new dev work on it in a while.

Michelle,

I did try Taxonomy Node Access but it went a little belly up and killed half my views, finally recovered the system though after uninstalling and 3 hours figuring out what went wrong.

Think I'll try the Forum Access first as you suggest, however I like the power of Node Access, just need to get my head around it.

Thanks
Keith

Michelle,

Downloaded the dev version but I still have the "Mark all topics as read" and "Post New Forum Topic" buttons on top of the Topic/Replies/Created/Last Reply header bar.

Any ideas ?

Thanks
Keith

[EDIT] sorry my mistake, hadn't copied the ADVFORUMS into my theme system, now trying to change the theme for my own style. How can I remove the gradient inner background ? Try as I might I can't get it to go away, even if I rename the actual file in the images folder it still shows. As you can probably guess I'm new to all of this, my PHP is ok, my CSS stinks !

Sorry for all these early questions, I'm sure you would rather be doing something a little more productive as opposed to nursing me through this but it would appear that I'm missing some basic understanding here and any help would be appreciated before I loose yet more hair.

I have used you forum here and all seems well.

I have now integrated it into my own local site, configured permissions with the Forum Access module so certain 'users' have certain permissions, I've done a little theming so it has almost the look and feel of the site I'm using. So....

I finally post a test entry into a forum. When I press the Post New Forum Topic 'button' I get a node submission page with the breadcrumbs showing "Home » System Content", and most of the options available, published, comment settings, attachments, format type etc...

I enter text into the title and body, I press submit, page refreshes and it finally comes back and says

"Your Forum topic has been created."

All well and good. I go back to the main Forum list and this DOES NOT show a new topic has been created, also if I click into the forum then this first thread is not shown anywhere. It's listed on my RECENT TOPICS area of ADVProfile I'm using but nowhere else.

I feel I'm missing something pretty fundamental here, what is it please I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks
Keith

[EDIT] - Seems very similar to the issue The Architect pointed out http://socnet.shellmultimedia.com/node/2#comment-59 - Was a resolution found for this ?

It looks like this might be an ongoing topic and I'm researching as we speak.

But if anyone can explain the relationship between forums and vocabularies I would appreciate it.

Thanks
Keith

This is an issue with the forum module, not advforum. That issue you pointed to is what I would have pointed you to as well. The relationship is that forum is a vocabulary and forums are terms.

Michelle

Thanks Michelle,

Thanks
Keith
