Forum permission not showing in group forum permissions

[danieltj]

I've created a new permission for an extension that needs to add said permission for forums. This is what it looks like in the event listener:

Code: Select all

$event->update_subarray( 'permissions', 'u_send_super_posts', [
    'lang' => 'ACL_U_SEND_SUPER_POSTS',
    'cat' => 'post'
] );

I need it added to the Post tab.

When I go to ACP Permissions Forum roles, I can see the new permission in the Post tab as I expect.

However, when I go to ACP Users and Groups Group forum permissions, I can't see the new permission at all and I'm kinda lost really because I don't know why it isn't working. What have I done wrong here?

I had a look into the permissions table acl_options and it seems as though changing the status of the permission from global to local seemed to work and it now appears as it should. Having said that, is there any reason why that has happened in the first place?

Forum permissions, by definition, are always local. Admin and User permissions are always Global. Only Moderator permissions can both global and/or local.

In your first post, your permission has a "u_" prefix. I would have expected it to be a user permission, which is global.

Yeah I noticed that after I posted and updated to f_ which got me half way there.

I managed to get it working after updating my migration file. When you add a new permission there was a surprise argument I didn't realise default to true (global) that you need to explicitly set to false.

Code: Select all

[ 'permission.add', [ 'f_send_super_posts', false ] ],

The above fixed it. Now it works without any problems.
