Have a "problem".
I don't know if there is something I miss somewhere to click or if this an "issue"/"bug".

Thing is...
I only want certain groups to be able to see whats on the frontpage and hide it from guests and regular members.
But when I only tag certain groups to see the articles/forum, noone can see them.
But as soon as I let ALL see the article/forum it shows on the fronpage without any problems?

What obvious thing am I missing here?


[EDIT]
Clearification.
When I don't let guests see a spefic room posts I only let certain groups to be able to read.
Noone can see either  Both forum and articles - sorted on date.
Both post and articles is hidden.

If i let guests SEE that room....
Then it is shown on the fronpage?
And it's both posts & articles.

Have you set the forums the same way for the membergroups?
If you have the forum settings to show diffrent they will override the article settings.

Hiya G6. :)

Yes.
Both the forum & membergroup settings are set so those groupmembers are should see the specific room I want posted on the frontpage, but not guests and regular members as two examples.

I have the on the Fronpage tab put:
Allow guests to see news from the news board - even if guest are not allowed to see the board? = (X) no

I have directed the :
Show forum-posts on frontpage from: "The room I want it to show!"

I tagged the:
(X) Both forum and articles - sorted on date

Nothing is show on frontpage as long as I don't allow "guests" to see this forum room.
And this goes for the articel also. As soon I give clearence to guests.
Both forum & article is shown

About Article:
The options I got for an article is these:
QuoteHide HTML.
use intro   no Yes
Show on frontpage:   no Yes
Date:   - :
Category   
intro text:
Display:   Use frame from theme
Use just the title
Do not use title/frame
Viewing options:   Show date
Show title
Show author
Show linktree
Show top
Show centerblocks
Show rightblocks
Show leftblocks

Thats it.
No options for a control of who gets to see the article or not.
I have opened this up severall times to re-edit the article, but no sign of any group options.

The only thing I can find where groups are involved is under articles is under the [SUBMISSIONS] tab.

[EDIT]
Forgot to mention.
I can't even see this when I'm loggen in as Admin unless I allow Guests also to see the room.
Then both article & posts show.

[EDIT 2]
Is there any specific block I should put under the Frontpage Blocks cat. under the Blocks page builder?

G6Cad

I have to leave this over to Bloc or someone else, I dont find anything that are even close to your question some where  :-\
I looked in the new TPv0.91 and there doesent seem to be any settings like the ones you are looking for in that version eather.  ???

BTW, do you have a link to your site ? :)

johanlm

Ok... Now I'm EXTREMELY confused.
To repeat myself first. I can't find any options on/in articles anywhere about what and wich group can see the article (Isen't supposed to be one? Think I read in another post It should be?).

I redirected what rooms posts that should be seen on the frontpage again.
This time the "Guest" room that is open for all both post/read.

Checked the Frontpage before I made a post and no post ofcourse, but no article either.
Then I made a post in this Guest room, checked the fronpage and now ofcourse the post can be seen.
BUT...
Now also the Article is shown?

It seems the frontpage shows articles for me when there is a post in the room.
No post = No article?

It's :
http://www.gofguild.com/house/

Not much to see yet.
A begining for my guilds World of Warcraft site. But currently I'm tryin to fix it up as close as our old site in functions. Hence the "hide" is important = for guildmembers only.

It's under:
Powered by SMF 1.1 RC2
TinyPortal v0.8.6

and all fresh.
