Trond,

FYI, it would be much more simpler if you had posted the user's role permissions (currently assigned). <i>Still</i>, props for writing a thorough message.

The key here (I think), is that it doesn't mater per say what section you have assigned to the forum as much as it does matter which role permissions are associated with your user/group (having the problem).

Take a look at the admin's default forum user's role permissions (uri, /role/view/4 ) <i>http://admindevel.ezpublish.no/role/view/4</i>

<b>Example: Forum user [Role]</b>

content  	 create  	 Class( Forum topic ) , Section( Standard ) , ParentClass( Forum )
content 	edit 	Class( Forum topic ) , Section( Standard )
content 	create 	Class( Forum reply ) , Section( Standard ) , ParentClass( Forum topic )
content 	edit 	Class( Forum reply ) , Section( Standard )
content 	versionread 	Class( Forum topic , Forum reply ) , Section( Standard ) , Owner( Self ) , Status( Draft , Pending )
user 	selfedit 	No limitations
user 	password 	No limitations
notification 	use 	No limitations

I would make sure you are basing your permissions on these as they do work, you may also possibly have conflicting permissions assigned.

Ahh, ya caught me :)

What I meant to say was that you can assign any section (standard, trond_forum_members, etc) but that the most important part is that your forum user has permissions needed to read/edit/etc, the key is the permissions.

Since it seems your forum_user role permissions are ok for the section "Standard", go a head and asign the forum to use the "Standard" Section (check your assignments).

The next level is to check your user / group ... Role Assignments. Make sure that your user's group is associated with the forum_user role.

<b>Questions:</b>

- What group(s) is your (dummy) user in?
- Is that group associated with your forum_user role? (be sure to check, the default is no (I believe))
- Does your role have at least read permissions for section trond_forum_members or Standard ?

I think I had to hammer my head into a stud for a while to get this as well so don't let it get ya down ;)

errr... yeah, well, no worries.

Unfortunately your confusion on the terminology is starting to get the best of me.

1. Sections are assigned to nodes in the content structure. An to my knowledge not users, groups or roles.

See: Admin >> Setup >> Sections
http://admindevel.ezpublish.no/section/list

Select Standard, navigate to the desired forum, select it and apply the "Standard" Section to it.

2. Admin >> User Accounts >> Access Controls : Roles and policies >> Forum user Assign Role (Icon) >> Browse to the list containing the Guest Group >> Select the ratio button for Guest Group, Click ok.

3. I was previously inferring that you might be using a custom section called "trond_forum_members" which I thought would have been assigned to your forum, NOT a user group. This is unnecessarily complex for the forums so we'll skip it.

The only connection between the folder forum and the role forum user would be in the forum user role permissions and the section also mentioned in the permissions.

Sorry I could not be of more help :|
