How did you grant permission to see it? Did you assign the module to the right user group?

Hi Pat.

I assigned the module that contains the menu to "registered" and then the "anonymous" to test it, but neither one showed up; except for the admin user.

Hi Mike,

That must be a permission problem then. Looks like you did everything OK though. It works for me on my Tiki v1.7. What version are you using?

Regards,

Pat.

I'm using v1.7.1.1.

I was also experimenting with turning off "Display modules to all groups always" on the "General" admin form. I thought I'd turn that off, and add them back manually. That didn't work to well, so I turned it back on.

Actually, when I look at it now, it also works for "anonymous" users. It just doesn't seem to work for "Registered". Hmmmmm.

The problem seems to be with the "Display modules to all groups always". I turned it off, and assigned the "login_box" module to the "Anonymous" group. I get the login box before I login, but it dissapears after I log in.
I added the "Registered" group, but the login box doesn't always appear. With a test user I created, that has only ever belonged to just the "registered" group, the login box appears. To another user, that has other groups besides the "registered" group, no login box.

Do you have any dependancies between your other groups and the 'Registered' group? Possibly this and the inheritance of permissions could influence the behaviour you are talking about. I also have the Display modules to groups always disabled but my modules appear like they should after I assigned them manually to each required group. I have no dependancies between any groups so can't say if that feature works as it should.

Pat.

Well, I don't know what happened, but since it was a new installation I reinitialized everything and carefully went through the steps again. So far, everything is working as expected.

Something must have gotten out of synch.
