MW 1.13.2
AWC 2.4.1
I installed the extension as instructed and it is setup and working. However, when "users" attempt to access the forum they encounter this error:
Permission error
The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups *, Users.
I cannot find a solution this problem here on the site anywhere. Seems as though "users" are not being granted view access?
Thanks for your help.

When you say "access the forum" do you mean the whole forum in general or just forum sections ?
Did you change anything in the forums extensions/awc/forums/ perm.php file ?
What are your forum permissions set to per-forum/category ?

Hello, thanks for your reply!
When I say access, I mean access from the main link, Special:AWCforum.
I did not change anything in perm.php.
The General User Forum category and forum are both set to "Everyone" access.
I will work on this again to see what I can come up with.
Thanks again!

I just tried un-installing and re-installing the forum. No luck with the standard installation, still can't access with a non-privileged user.
Do you supposed there is something wrong with my wiki's user rights?

Its possible being this is a unique problem.
Can users of your wiki access 'Special' pages in general ?
Can you post all of your wikis permissions info ?
example:
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = true;
If you dont feel comfortable posting this info in public (dont see why it would be bad) you can PM it to me if you want.

Yes, users are able to view the Special Pages page, and the forum is linked there.
In localsettings.php, I only have two:
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = false;
Which don't deviate from normal, as far as I know. DefaultSettings.php has never been altered.

Humm... don't know.
If you did not change anything it should work "out-of-the-box", there is nothing special which needs to be set, all the forums default settings are to allow members and guest to view the forum with no changes.
Can you post or PM me a link to your wiki ?
Maybe the forum is conflicting with another extension.

I think you are very right about it being a conflict with another extension.
Sure thing, the link is http://wiki.lineagetimes.com/index.php?title=Special:AWCforum
I will see about disabling some extensions which could be conflicting.

If we can figure out if that is indeed the problem, i will try and change the forum code so its compatible with the conflicting extension.
If you feel like testing, you can try the following
- Comment out all of your extensions (# require_once() line (in your localsettings.php file)) just to make sure the forum will work, period.
- Comment out the of all your extension and then turn them on one by one and see what happens (i know thats alot of work).
- Try commenting out the following extension and see what happens.
- Configure (Version 0.9.1)
- EditUser (Version 1.4.2)
- Patroller (Version 1.0rc3)
- AntiSpoof (Version r42240)
- ConfirmEdit (Version r36959)
I did not read the info for the extension which are listed there, selected them by there names and a hunch so...

Hi There!
I commented-out the configure extension, and voila user is able to access the forum. So this extension, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Configure seems to conflict.
Fortunately, this is not a vital extension.
Thank you for all of your assistance in this matter!

glad its least figured out.
if i ever get time i will look into that extension... at first glance seams like there would be alot of code to shift through to see where they clash, thats a big extension.

Same problem
|
I'm having the same problem. I just installed the forum and only my account (sysop/bureaucrat) can access the forum. Every other account get permissions error message. Plus I can't seem to delete categories as it keeps saying I need sysop bureaucrat permission to do so. I tried commenting out all my other extensions, but no luck.
On there I have
require_once $IP . "/extensions/FCKeditor/FCKeditor.php";
require_once( "$IP/extensions/PasswordReset/PasswordReset.php" );
require_once("$IP/extensions/ExtensionClass.php");
require_once("$IP/extensions/addHTML.php");
require 'extensions/StubManager/StubManager.php';
require 'extensions/ParserFunctionsHelper/ParserFunctionsHelper.php';
require_once( "$IP/extensions/SecureHTML/SecureHTML.php" );
require_once("extensions/accesscontrol/accesscontrolSettings.php");
include("extensions/accesscontrol/accesscontrol.php");
I thought it might be the accesscontrol stuff, but no luck. Any ideas?

Hello Paulm.
Not knowing what version of the forum you are trying (or wiki version), i would suggest you give the Beta 2.5.x a try and post back your results:
http://wiki.anotherwebcom.com/Special:AWCforum/st/id1063
There are a few little bugs (which i will fix over this coming weekend), but nothing major.
