I am running into a problem though. I installed a fresh version of all the plugins and dependencies needed for the Forum. I am able to get topics and forums, etc all in there. The main issue I am having is the ACL though. I set them up for 4 different levels:
Admins
Moderators
Regular Users
Guest (non logged in people)
Admins and Mods can add topics and reply, however the regular users can not. I have added in the AROs for each one, added a few test user accounts to the ARO parent and inherited the settings. I am still unable to post a reply, or add a new topic in a forum that is set with the correct permissions.
Is there any setting I may be missing to do this correctly?
I set all the forum's to blank for READ.
I set the other permissions to one of my parent AROs ForumMember.
When I do that nothing is able to be added, edited, etc. When I set those to blank then logged in members were able to post new topics, reply, etc.
I really do like this plugin though.
