pnForums / photoshare  Bottom

  • Two questions ...

    I searched through the information I had and what I could find on the net and it seems you can do this with photoshare but I can't for the life of me figure it out.

    Basically I created Albums with my Admin account. I published them and allowed the 'user' group to edit / access them. I then logged out of my admin account, logged in with a plain user account ...when I click on 'gallery' I can view the albums, no problem, I just can't add anything. Is there a special link for that or are my permissions off? :?


    Second question is about pnForum ... I tried to install pnphpbb2 integrated into postnuke and it didn't work, I got a lot of mysql errors. I need to create private forums .... does pnForum have that option??? I can't see it anywhere in the admin panel if it does...

    Oy and Vey! Sorry for the multitude of questions guys and dolls!
  • I'm not sure about photoshare but in case of pnForum you can create a private forum using permissions.

    Just create a group of users that should be able to access the forum and restrict the permissions to that forum to this group.
    The details on what permissions you can define is in /module/pnForums/pndocs/lang/eng/manual.html

    EXAMPLE 1.
    Cut off Unregistered users from accessing private forum. Unregistered users will not even see that a private forum exists.
    Go to Administration/Permissions/New group permission

    Group Component Instance Permissions level
    Unregistered pnForum::Forum Chitchat:: None

    Because upper lines override lower, the newly created group permission should be above this line:
    Group Component Instance Permissions level
    Unregistered .* .* Read
