Question Restricted Forum User For Kunena 2.0

I like your perseverence, MacJoomla. You mean the jxlibraries plugin? - Yes I installed and activated it.

danke normalerweise bleibe ich auch so lange dran, bis etwas funktioniert, aber jetzt komme ich per Ferndiagnose einfach nicht mehr weiter. Klingt alles bestens und genau so, wie ich es auch bei mir eingerichtet habe. Die beiden wichtigen Dinge scheinen mir 1. nur eine Gruppe pro User, dann gibts jeden User auch in CB nur noch einmal und 2. das Synchronisieren der Kontakte im Kunena Backend. Ach ja und 3. Zuweisen der Gruppen in der Control Komponente.

Wenn mir doch noch was einfallen sollte, werde ich mich natürlich melden. Wäre nett, wenn du hier auch von weiteren Schritten/Ideen berichten könntest.

I've run into the same problem as MartinRuthenberg. Same versions of everything and it seems only I can see the forums. At first I couldn't see them either, but I made sure to set public front-end to the group that I created and was a part of and the backend was set to "Public Back-end". Before I set the back-end part I couldn't see it either. So I even tried setting up a backend group and putting the other users into it as well and still nothing.

Hi MacJoomla,

I am answering in English so that non German users can benefit from my experience (I PM you soon.):

There was one issue I misunderstand when you wrote about assigning a user to one group only. I thought you meant a user shouldn’t be assigned to two or more groups that had been created by control and I left them in Joomla registerd group as well.

Assigning a user to only one group at all I started seeing a restricted forum. But as I want to be member of a restricted forum I had to create another admin account and change my former admin account into a user account only assigned to this restricted forum. This gave me a big mess. As restricted forum user I couldn’t see my forum. To a test user it was displayed but not properly. And as an admin I couldn’t log into my frontend any more.

So I have to warn people: Never ever try control with a productive forum. Be careful about creating and changing user accounts.

I didn’t use control with a productive forum either. And I will be trying again. This time I will accomplish all the changements that deal with user accounts before installing control to see whether it makes a difference. But as I am short of time it will last before I’ll be back reporting.

@Martin,

I am sorry you are having difficulty getting this to work for you. But I feel it necessary to state that this component work flawlessly with kunena on my live production site. Perhaps there maybe somethings that you are confused about configuring? I have been playing around with many different ACL components for joomla, and in all honesty this has got to be the best I have encountered yet! The best part about it is it's free!

If you would like to see this working on a "Live Site" I will pm you a temporary admin account for your viewing pleasure. Maybe if you see a pre-configured setup you might be able to achieve what you are setting out to accomplish.

Let me know!

JBHawai,

thank you for your posting. It's somehow overwhelming how MacJoomla and you try to help me. I am going to PM you.

Ok, I am also having troubles, no idea why. Here is what I did:

1. Create a new group in Control called Private
2. Assigned a user to the Private group and removed the assignment to the Registered group
3. Updated the forum to only allow people from the Private group
4. Synchronized users from Kunena
5. Logged the user in
6. User does not see the private forum

So the question is, did I miss a step? Did I do a step wrong?

Running Joomla 1.5.12, Kunena 1.5.4, Control 1.0.7 all are vanilla installations.
