Only topic i could find related to this is Here, but theres no feedback.

Might be because im not using the correct words for searching bugtracker and forums.

In any case issue is that Access Permissions in my categories won't work. In our frontpage theres a block called Raid Reports, category is named like that and it shouldn't be viewable to quests.

Excuse my ignorance if theres somewhere a solution or its being fixed in a later version of TP but i couldn't find something related to enlighten me.

P.S.: Some mods are just uploaded and no installed.

Permissions for categories and articles is different than the permissions for the blocks. You set the permissions for each block within that blocks editing area. I bet if you go look at that block on your frontpage that the permissions are not set correctly. Or you may find some users are in a secondary member group.

Inny,

To add to what Renegd98 has said, you can choose what membergroups (including Guests) will have access to blocks or article categories, but not individual articles.

I can't tell from what you wrote whether the problem is that guests can see a particular block or if the problem is that guests can see the articles in a particular category.

Can you explain?

[Inny]

Sorry it wasn't clear.

Guests can see the articles in specific category when its set to not.

The block on my frontpage is set to show to everyone just to avoid confusion, was just an example to see that the articles are accessible by you even if the category that they are in shouldn't be accessible by guests.

Seems like a bug there, it should not show an article inside a block if the category says its off limits to that member. I'll look into this possible bug.

[Inny]

Are you able to re-produce this bug?

What worries me might be some leftovers from Previous TP installations. Forum is 2 years old now

I have the same problem. The articles category 'videos' is set to not show to guests, yet it does.

in one of the left blocks there are links to videos. The videos are embedded in articles. The articles should not be viewable by guests, yet they are.

help?

Thanks!

The help will arrive as soon as Bloc have found a fix for the bug, you just have to wait until he does and have posted it. if it's not a small bug and if the bug require a lot of changes, you have to wait for the next release of tp where the fix will be applied.
