Question CB Integration - Profile tab says "You are not authorized to view this page!"

J! 2.5.4 + K 1.7.2 + CB 1.8 + GroupJive 2.5.1 + AUP 1.7.3 and more

Same problem, my 'index' page (kunena section page r/w for registered users and above) says "You are not authorized to view this page!" with the following settings:

Forum Configuration » Integration » Integration Options » Avatars = Community Builder
Forum Configuration » Integration » Integration Options » Profiles and Userlist = Community Builder
Forum Configuration » Integration » Integration Options » Login and Registration = Community Builder
Forum Configuration » Integration » Integration Options » Private Messagin = UddeIM
Forum Configuration » Integration » Integration Options » Activity Notifications = AUP
Forum Configuration » Integration » Integration Options » Access Control = Joomla

If 'Access Control = Community Builder' or 'Automatic' the page is accessible to logged-in users, and the subordinated categories are visible. That's where my problem starts:
all subordinated categories are visible ... even the ones that are restricted to view for this user
See the topic: Posts-in-private-restricted-boards-visible-to-general-public-through-User-Activity-and-Recent-Post

Joomla ACL doesn't work with GJ groups, so users have no access to the categories created by GJ without Community Builder access integration turned on.

Kunena 1.7 (and older) has a bug/limitation where latest post was saved into all parent categories and visible even if the topic itself wasn't. It's been fixed in K2.0. If you have some other issue, it could be a bug either in Kunena or GroupJive.

Hi Matias, thanks for taking care!

Not sure whether I should start a new thread titled
"Group-restricted categories are visible to all registered users in section categories list (forum/index)" ... anyway, let's go ...
In menues group-restricted categories are hidden/visible properly, e.g. the frontend screenshot from a user assigned for Editor-"SEO & Webdevelopment" and "Musik & Audio-Media":


Private K-section/categories | forum/index

BTW: The same problem consisted in my former installation (J! 1.6.* + K 1.6.* + CB 1.4 + AUP 1.7.3 and more WITHOUT GroupJive)! As You can see, no posts yet. Toggling categories to "Moderated" doesn't make a difference. That's why we just didn't use the private section of Kunena in the past - now, after upgrading all components, I'd love to take advantage of the great benefits of K-GJ integration. A perfect solution, just this little step...

My set-up:

Kunena_showAdministration


GroupJive_categories


Joomla_ACL-groups

Forum Configuration » Integration » Integration Options » Avatars = Community Builder
Forum Configuration » Integration » Integration Options » Profiles and Userlist = Community Builder
Forum Configuration » Integration » Integration Options » Login and Registration = Community Builder
Forum Configuration » Integration » Integration Options » Private Messagin = UddeIM
Forum Configuration » Integration » Integration Options » Activity Notifications = AUP
Forum Configuration » Integration » Integration Options » Access Control = Community Builder

Third-party components: AlphaUserPoints 1.7.3 | CommunityBuilder 1.8 | UddeIm 2.7

In K1.7.2 there's one legacy feature in GroupJive integration -- allowed categories are combined with Joomla access defined by GroupJive when category gets created (usually administrator group). This doesn't happen in Kunena 2.0 anymore. I'm not sure if you can see that setting from Kunena itself, but if you look into kunena_categories table, you should see field "pub_access" having Joomla user group in it. Check the value against group ids.

Additionally all moderators and administrators gain access to every published category. So if you are site administrator or have administrative rights to Kunena, you will see everything.

Thanks again for taking care

I know, the example user is none of them, just an "Editor category A and B".

Matias wrote: kunena_categories table, field "pub_access" ... Check the value against group ids.

Thanks for the hint, I've changed this, and modified "pub_recurse" with the same value in addition (thought thhis might be useful for newly created GJ groups/K sub-cats). In any way, this causes a phenomenon that I remember from my former installation (J! 1.6.* + K 1.6.* + CB 1.4):

All categories are still visible in the example described above, but restricted category titles grab Alias from my "mandatory and not in use" Kunena menu to build an URL like "domain.de/forum/grafik-design.html" where clicking redirects to "domain.de/kmu-forum/index.html" (the public top level K-category) ...
while allowed categoriy titles keep the correct URL, in this example "domain.de/projekt-forum/webdevelopment.html", which contains the correct Alias of the private top level K-category.

At this point, it seems to be corresponding to "How to set up Kunena menu structure properly" ??


Kunena admin: public forum menu


Kunena admin: private forum menu


Kunena admin: component-created "hidden" menu > after locking
these items, all restricted category titles are changed, similar to
"domain.de/component/kunena/grafik-design.html?Itemid=0".

I'm certainly confused. What's next?

Beside, Kunenas 2.0 Beta is released, and over at Joomlapolis, they've just announced
new versions: CB GroupJive 2.5.2 RC1 and CB Forums plugin 2.1.0 - a better way to go?

Regarding this, I've ordered my hoster to upgrade the V-webserver to PHP 5.3 tonight.
And I'm thankful for any advice to get this awesome corporate community project working.

Kunena 1.7 has issues with menu structures like this. So it's probably better idea to try Kunena 2.0.0 RC1 + CB/GJ that supports K2.0, as we have fixed a few issues related to yours.

PS. current beta1 release has bug in CB integration.
