    • All users can post in private blogs

    Posted by blacklily8

    I'm currently having a major problem after upgrading to 1.9.5 from 1.8. Apparently, now all users can post to all the blogs, whether they are marked public or not. I ran the various database upgrade scripts, but it doesn't seem to have an effect. Users can post to whatever blogs they want by using the blog pull-down menu in the blog posting/editing screen.

    Can anyone help here?

    Thanks,

    Matt

    An update--

    I notice that if the user clicks "list blogs," there are no options shown to post to the unauthorized blogs. This seems to be a problem with the "blog" dropdown bar in tiki-blog_post.php. Somehow it's bypassing the check and letting users post in whatever blogs they want...

    By the way, I notice that this same bug appears on this site...You don't get the notepad to edit certain blogs when you do a blog list, but if you go to "post" and use the dropdown menu, you can post in whichever one you want.

    I'm really surprised no one seems interested in this problem...!

    This problem has already been noticed and a bug report filed.

    Thanks, chibaguy! I hope it gets fixed in the next release. 😎

    Well, I just upgraded to 1.9.7., and this problem is still there. This really makes community blogging difficult! Has anyone worked out a hack or a fix for this that I can apply myself? It's really embarrassing to have to tell a class of students that they might accidentally post in another student's blog by accident.

    Thanks,
