Frontpage news not showing for guests.

[othersi]

This is my front page settings:

The only reference to a news board is the setting to allow guests to see it or not.  I still don't see where I set what board is classed as the news board.

"Show posts on the front page from:"

Oh.  I assumed the issue was setting a board specifically as a "news board", not simply which boards showed up on the front page.

I misunderstood the issue.

Actually, I think it needs to be labeled better so that it is more clear that it is news instead of just forum posts on the front page.

I agree it needs to be worded better.

The way it stands now, it reads like News items is completely different from Forum posts showing on the front page.

I mean... I could set it so posts from each and every one of my boards shows on the front page.  The "Show forum-posts on front page from:" part of the settings isn't specific to news... it could be news, it could simply be showing automatically-updated forum content on your front page.

The "Allow guests to see news from the news board ..." part reads like there is a setting somewhere to create a board that is "tagged" in some way as a News board.

sorry to bring back up an old thread but I have the same problem

I have set a forum board NEWS which is used as the news block however guests can't see it while I have the option "Allow guests to see news from the news board - even if guest are not allowed to see the board?" marked and added NEWS to the "Show forum-posts on front page from:" list however guests can't view it while members can.

this is on tinyportal 0.98 and smf 1.1.3

If you can hold on for a bit, we are going to try and get an update out for TP 0.9.x that should fix some of these small issues.
