    Forum 1.0 GA and PostReply Button Visible to Guest Users

    thorntond Jul 16, 2007 12:46 AM

      Is there an option I can set in the Forum 1.0 GA release that will make the PostReply button and the NewTopic button visible to a guest user?

          Hi Danny

          Did you try adding

          <permission action="post"/>
          to 
          <role name="Anonymous" id="anonymous">
          section in acl-permissions.xml ?
          I didn't try it myself but it should work as you need.

          Regards

            I added the post permission for anonymous to the 1.01 version. I got the error:

            java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.portlet.forums.impl.ForumsModuleImp.findLastPostDateForUser(ForumsModuleImpl.java:1379)

            I would also like to route the guest user to the login screen if they have not logged in.

            Addition of RSS and Atom in the 1.01 version is nice.

              I added a bug task for this problem : http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBFORUMS-250

              This may be harder to achieve but I'll try to find some way to have this as well.

              Thanks, still few things for this must be done to make it look and work properly.
