Question Kunena and JACL Plus

Hi

I am using Kunena and I urgently need more dedicated user groups than the standard Joomla groups to isolate forum categories to a bunch of useres with different permissions.
Is there any experience out there with Kunena together with JACL plus running on a Joomla 1.5.9. installation?
I am not really a friend of core hacks but JACL Plus seems to be the only solution at the moment to get a more detailed user definition for single categories.
What I want is a forum for 3 different kind of users. One category is open for all registerd users. Another category is just for registered users who belong to a specific group of our club and the third category is just for the head of the club. I could do this with Author, Editor etc. but I don't want some of the specific useres to post articles in the frontend which is the case if they are authors or even editors.

Best regards and thanks for your replies.

You may want to talk with the author of JACL Plus and invite him to this forum.

I am in need of almost the exact same configuration. I have JACL Plus and thought I had it working reliably a day or two ago. Unfortunately, in testing today, my access levels are hosed once again. I've played with JACL until I'm blue in the face and just can't get it to work. I sent JACL an email asking if they had any help with Kunena yet but I've yet to get a response from them.

I am also in great need of the same thing. I have a site nearly ready to roll out using Community Builder, Fireboard, and JACLPlus Pro. Everything was fine....until I installed Kunena, now none of my special permissions from JACLPlus are available in Kunena.

Is this a "bridge" that Kunena will provide or is it a patch that JACLPlus Pro will need to provide?

The last one. JACLplus has to provide the patch.
JACLplus works fine with Fireboard, so i think it's not a big business for the guys from byostech.

Just to let you know that JACL released the fix for this last week! You have to be a Charter Member to get it though.
