Hello everybody,

I am using Joomla 1.5stable with Fireboard 1.4. In this situation the Public Access Level don't work.

I also tried Joomla 1.013, here Fireboard works well.

Has anybody an idea for fixing this bug?

Describe how it's a bug. All you've said is that it doesn't work on 1.5. FireBoard STILL does not work 100% correctly on that platform. That's been known for quite some time..

Ok,

I have change some "Public Access" authorizations, after that i tested the configuration with some unser-configurations (such as Super Administrator; Registered; Author) from Joomla.

The Public Access for Registered or Author (Frontend) don't work at all the time on Joomla 1.5. So i decided to test it with Joomla 1.013 and here it is working.

So I watched at jos_fb_sessions and the field "allowed. Here was never stored any authorization.

Now I have found the error/bug.

At Joomla 1.013 the Table "jos_core_acl_aro_groups" provides a field "group_id".
At Joomla 1.5 the Table "jos_core_acl_aro_groups" provides a field "id".

The Content of both Fields are the same, but the fieldname is different. Now I have create a new field with the name "group_id" an copyed all contents from "id" into this.

Now it works well.

This problem was listed here, I can't find it now to link to it. (I'll try and find it later when I have a bit more time).

Your right it revolves around group_id.

You need to change $aro_group->group_id to $aro_group->id in some of the files.

Important thing I forgot was to change the files contained in the template I was using, so it didn't work at first. But its working now. Members can access the restricted boards as normal.

The files I changed were;

view.php
showcat.php
listcat.php
fb_sub_category_list.php

These were in the template directory of the template I'm using

You also need to change fb_pdf.php in the sources directory.

I'm using Joomla 1.5 stable and Fireboard 1.0.4
