    • Forums config. problems

    Posted by wbeaver2

    Can't seem to get the "post reply" form to appear for any user, for any forum. I removed all permission relating to forums in both the group module and forum module.

    The only option I get after clicking on a forum name form the forums list is to post a new topic. Clicking on that topic returns a blank screen which I'm thinking may be indicative of a PHP error. Is there any way I can turn on debug messages for admin, etc. so that I can view the erro_messaages - no errors are showing up in the Apache error_log.

    BTW, using Ver. 1.8.5

    Thanks in advance,

    wb

    Do you mean users do have permission to post in forums?

    There's a config item "PHP error reporting level for non-admin" on the Admin/General page.

    I got a similar problem in version 1.9.0
    Although I can preview a reply it is not possible to post it.
    I created an extra ))ForumUser(( group with all forum permissions possible.
    Turning the error reporting on did not create any logs.

    Thanks for any help

    Hmm. I can reply OK with my 1.8.5 and 1.9.0 Tikis, and 1.9.0 is clearly working here, so I wonder what's different with your installations. What are your server details — OS, etc.? Have you noticed any other problems with your Tiki installations?

    OS: Windows XP Service Pack 2
    Webserver-Installation: XAMPP 1.4.2
    Server API: Apache 2.0 Handler
    PHP: Version 4.3.6
    Tiki: Upgrade from 1.8.5 to 1.9.0.

    With the admin user I can to post replies but not with any other user.

    Where should I look for error logs in detail?

    thanks in advance

    Yes, actually I have:
    👻 There are multiple entries in the menu options for the main menu (menue administration).
    👻 Can't change language and theme any more (drop down lists are empty now)
    👻 the login module appears on the right side as defined but also in the middle instead of the home page. Home page appears only after login althoug everything is granted to anonymous.

    Did you end up getting your forum posts to work?

    I think I am having the same problem. I have set everything up and have got the wiki and FAQ to work fine. But my forums section only accepts posts from an admin user. I would like it to accept posts from not logged in users.

    I have tried setting the permissions for the forum under admin for the anonymous group. I have tried setting all the forum permissions for anonymous when logged in as admin and entered the config for the specific forum. And I have tried setting the permission and group under the menu item.

    I am a novice with this and any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Yes, actually! I installed a the current xampp version 1.4.13 and tiki 1.9.0 on a different computer running windows xp. The forum stuff worked from the very beginning without granting any additional permissions. So I guess there was a undetected problem whilst updating from tiki 1.8.5 to 1.9.0.

    Hope you will be lucky too.

    blank screen is usually a lack of memory. 1.9 uses more memory than 1.8

    Thanks, increasing memory_limit from 16M ot 64M in the php.ini file got the listboxes for themes and languages in the admin menu filled again.
    An open Tiki Doc (Acrobat reader) caused problems too.
