Question Restricted Forum User For Kunena 2.0

I took the same steps and achieved the same result. So I don't think that we missed anything, at least not by what has been said in this thread. So so far I count three people in this thread having the same issue.

i am sorry, control isnt working for you as expected. I can say, like JBHawai did, for me it is doing the trick. From here its difficult to analyse the problem on other enviroments. I was just looking an testing over again and here are some little hints, maybe something helps?

Control:
Did you create group as child of registered?
You shouldnt change Group Value of new group after creating
Maybe Group Name/Value shouldnt use spaces or entities (not checked by myself)

Kunena Forumadministraton:
Did you give the category, the forum is in, appropriate access level?
Did you publish categories and forums?
Did you make sure, forum/category isnt checked out?
Did you make forum open for non moderators/admins?
In my case frontendaccess is set to: new created group for example "private"
In my case backendaccess is set to: Super Administrator
Can you then see forum, if you are logged in as superadmin in frontend? (You should)

Plugin:
Did you install and publish the jxlibraries plugin?

I will post it here, if i find something more about…

Ok, I don't know what to say but this morning I checked again according to your checklist and all seems to be configured right. What beats me, it is working for me now . Is there some sort of cache?

Kunena 1.5.4, Community Builder 1.2.1, Joomla 1.5.12, Control 1.0.7

I did all my changings about admin accounts before installing control. Now I have two restricted forums running on a productive site. It is only two days but as far as I can see there are not any problems.

Thanks for your persistence, MacJoomla and JBHawaii

i got it working on my site too. Had to really be careful with how the permissions were setup but things are smooth now

Is there some sort of cache?

To answer my own question yes there is. The cache is the table jos_fb_sessions. This table contains a column called "allowed". If there are already boards in the allowed field for a user it won't get checked again until some time it seems (this time is unknown to me and too long to wait for ).

Forcing this column to a value of "na" will cause Kunena to re-read the user permissions and thus the new board is added to the allowed boards and the user will see it.

So bottom line is, if you add a special board for only users make sure the allowed field gets reset. To do this for all users you can execute this code:

Maybe Group Name/Value shouldnt use spaces or entities (not checked by myself)

I am using group names with spaces without a problem. The value shouldn't have a space. Control replaces this automatically with a dash (-).

I am happy to know what causes the problems

Next challenge is to find out how to allow users to more than 1 private forum.
