Sorry, you aren't allowed to fetch news.

when others try to save their articles, my site is set to allow certain groups of people to edit and manage articles, with this error my site is almost 100% useless to me and those that will use it.

[edit]
TportalAdmin.php still calls the unused perm tp_news

the attached file atleast lets you edit articles without that perm causing issues.

I'm seeing this too and it's a major bug for me also.  It means that no one but Admin can edit Articles which completely wrecks the concept of the site.   I believe it's easy to duplicate; just do an install (SMF 1.1.6/ TP 1.0.5), create a new usergroup, create a new article (with category) and try to give a member of the new usergroup permission to edit the article.  When they click "save" the error appears.

And this would have been fixed in 1.0.6 I think.

I just installed 1.0.6 on top of my previous 1.0.5 (test install only) and the same bug is there.

On my site, I do not have the same problem. With a Global mod I am able to edit and create articles. Remember they can't edit the article unless you either give them permissions to edit their own articles, or you give them permission to manage all articles in the member group permission settings.

There must be something different about your install.  I've just repeated this for about the third or fourth time - this time on a fresh install.

Try it yourself with a fresh install of SMF/TP:

• Install SMF 1.1.5



• Install TP 1.0.5


• Setup a Category and give access to everyone except guests.
• Now create a small sample article and put it into the category.  On "visible options", unclick everything and set it to "Display on Front Page".  Make this article "Featured". 
• Create a new user and make this user a "Global Moderator"
• Set Front Page Settings to : "Featured Articles and Front page blocks".
• Give <Global Moderator> "Manage Articles" permission -leave other permissions at default.


• Log out, log back in as the new user and try to edit the "featured" article (add a new word or two).  When you click save you get the error. 

Worse yet, I have found that if I install TP 1.0.6 on top of the 1.0.5 install, the mode of the "Edit article" page is so messed-up for an html page, that it doesn't even treat it as an html page.  Instead of saying "Edit article (html) " at the top of the Edit Box it says "Edit article () " and the wysiwyg FCK Editor does not come up.  You just get a standard Text Editor Box just as you would with a php page; the html markup is all there together with the page text just as you would see when viewing html source for any web page.   If you change the page to "php" or "bbcode", and go back to "html", it's still the same.

These bugs are serious.

We are aware that this happens in TP 1.0.5. It was fixed for TP 1.0.6. If you are seeing the same problem then you need to probably go through the manual install and make sure everything is done.

Just to make sure I understand this correctly....

You are saying that if I have an install of SMF1.1.5 and TP1.0.5, the "Manual Install" means to go through and Modify the files as shown in the "Manual Install Guide" for TP 1.0.6 ...correct? 

UPDATE:  Doing a manual install of 1.6 does not fix this problem.  I've posted a tentative fix in the thread for this bug.

No. I'm replying to the problem that deals with the title of this topic. If you are unable to edit articles as a GlobalMod in TP 1.0.6 then you need to do the manual install. TP 1.0.5 was known to have this problem. TP 1.0.6 does not have this problem. For any other problems you should be starting another topic so the discussion does not alter the topic subject.
