This query sounds as this one from back in 2009.

http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/130316/

The template has been working in the past, but recently with the change to a new set of members and launch of a new forum, it’s no longer working.

I have checked the permissions on the recently created forums, and they’re all set to yes for this particular member group.

Would really appreciate some guidance on this as I’ve tried and looked everywhere I can to try to remedy this.

EE v1.7
Forums 2.2.0

I should add that these users can login and interact with the actual Forums as expected, but this particular tag just isn’t outputting anything at all.

Hi, Brendan. So the code is working for the other forums?

The tag isn’t working at all in the normal EE templates except for super admin group. Have tested with no boards and forums parameter with the same result. Nothing for logged in users, except for super admins.

Hi Brendan,

Can you paste the exact tag you are using and maybe give us some screenshots your permission screens as in previous thread?

You mentioned members and superadmins. How about guests?

Hi JH, here’s the code snippets etc. Note I’m inheriting this code from a previous developer.

{exp:forum:topic_titles orderby="recent_post" sort="desc" limit="50" boards="{Explore_Forum_Board_ID}"}
<div class="grid_4"><a href="http://{thread_path=explore/forums/viewthread}">{title}</a></div>
<div class="grid_2"><a href="http://{profile_path=explore/forums/member}">{author}</a> </div>
<div class="grid_2">{topic_date format="%m/%d/%Y %h:%i %a"}</div>
<div class="grid_1">{post_total}</div>
<div class="grid_1">{views}</div>
<div class="grid_2">On: {last_post_date format="%m/%d/%Y %h:%i %a"}

By: <a href="http://{last_author_profile_path=explore/forums/member}">{last_author}</a> </div>
</div>
{/exp:forum:topic_titles}

{Explore_Forum_Board_ID} is a Fresh Variable that holds the Board ID. I hard coded this as well but with exactly the same results.

So this an issue with the EE side of things only, i.e. the forums as such work? Your {exp:forum:topic_titles} shows the expected result for Superadmins but nothing for regular, logged-in users?

That is correct. The forums work fine, but the use of {exp:forum:topic_titles} is only working for Super Admin group.

Is this code in a template all by itself?

It is essentially just this, I have also tried it with just this code by itself and the same results.

Do you have set any template permissions? Any other, non forum related code in that template works for all member groups?

There are no other template permissions set on this particular template (it’s used in another template as well with the same results - neither with permissions being set). All other no related template code works. I’ve done all sorts to try and get this to work…including creating a new template elsewhere with nothing but the base tag and no parameters and still has the same problem.

Hi, Brendan. Time to go look around. Please check your email in a few minutes.

Brendan,

I have been through this inside and out on your site. I also tried to replicate locally but I cannot turn up anything here. Even the data in your db looks fine.

Can I get you to fresh the forum module files just to make sure they are in fact the most recent?

One thing I did spot was your fresh variable for your board id was set to 900. But as you said makes no difference hard-coded.

If teh refresh of your forum files makes no difference then we will escalate this for you

OK, that’s done now. Still doing the same behaviour though so would appreciate it if you would please escalate.

Thanks
Brendan
