News Board Doesn't work for Guests

[Salkiri]

Guests DO NOT have permissions to view the board.  But as IchBin and ZarPrime both stated, this is supposed to work.  I'm almost positive this used to work on older version as well.  Both EZPortal and SimplePortal seem to pull the News if even when the Guest doesn't have access, but I'd perfer to use TP since the other two jsut don't hold up to TP.

Have you changed it to allow guest to view the board to see if that allows them to see it on the front page?  If it does then we will want to possibly file it as a bug so Bloc can review it.

It does work if I enable Guests to view Board.  Unfortunately, we don't want Guests to be able to see the comments without logging in first.

OK, it does indeed seem that this may be a bug.  On my test site, I have 3 Articles and one News board set to show on the Front Page and "Allow guests to see news from the news board - even if guest are not allowed to see the board?" is set to YES.  When the News Board is set to allow Guest Access, everything is shown properly as it should.  However, when Guest Access to the News Board is unchecked, only the Featured Article is shown when logged out.  In other words, not only is the News Board not shown but the other 2 Articles aren't shown either.

I will look through the bugtracker here in a little bit to make sure that this particular bug hasn't yet been reported yet and if it's not in there, then I'll report it.

Thank you very much.

Is there any Fix to this BUG yet?  I would really love to change over my site, but I'm still waiting on this part.  Otherwise I'll have to look at other Portals for the time being. 

[ZarPrime]

No, there is not yet a fix, and there are some bugs ahead of this one that were reported first.

I only reported this bug 6 days ago.  It is located here if you want to keep an eye on it ...
