phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

I just created a forum of type category and decided I didn't want to copy any of the permissions from the other forums and that I would manually add the permissions for the desired groups. The category would not show up anywhere to either assign a forum to it nor to assign any permissions to it. It does show up in the list under Manage Forums but that's about it. Ended up copying the permissions from another forum first to get it to show up anywhere.

Not only for cats, but also forums.

What is the actual problem here? Does it not display in the ACP? Which revision introduced this bug?

the cache isnt cleared, this was introduced by bantu, when adding the copy permissions-function (dont know the rev.)
Fix is here: viewtopic.php?f=165&t=1738685&p=10491045#p10491045

Edit it was kellanved: http://code.phpbb.com/repositories/diff ... p?rev=9896

The problem is that it returns before it clears the cache.

Code: Select all: else if (($action != 'edit') && $auth->acl_get('a_fauth') && $auth->acl_get('a_authusers') && $auth->acl_get('a_authgroups') && $auth->acl_get('a_mauth')) { $this->copy_permission_page($forum_data); return; } $auth->acl_clear_prefetch(); $cache->destroy('sql', FORUMS_TABLE);
