Hello,
I have this Message (GJ_YOU_ARE_NOT_ALLOWED_TO_VIEW_THIS_BOARD) if I want to reach the GroupForum (FB 1.0.5 RC2 / GJPlugin 1.7e). If I login with the Groupowner-Login it works perfectly. But the other GroupUsers don't work.

I use JUGA and I checked the rights more than one time. It doesn't work too, If I give the GroupUser the same JUGA and Joomla-Level as the Administrator.

Can anyone help or does anynone have/had the same Problems?

Thanks,
Michael

Hello,
I found out, that it works if the group is "Open" and it does'nt work if the group is a "aproval" Group.

Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks,
Michael

Hello,
does anyone have a running FB-Forum on an "Approval Group"?

J 1.5
CB 1.2 RC4
FB 1.0.5 RC2
GJ 29a
GJPlugin 1.7e

Thanks,
Michael

I'm having this same problem.

I am receiving the error as well when trying to access the forum as a normal user of the group. I get:

"You are not allowed to view this group forum"

This is a major concern...and obviously a big bug. Is there a quick fix for this? Thanks!

Here's my specs:

Joomla 1.5.7 (in legacy mode)
CB 1.2 RC4
Fireboard 1.0.5 RC2
GJ Pre-release 29a
GJPlugin 1.7e

I'm using all of the latest stuff so I hope that helps you determine the problem.

Thanks again for this component and I hope there is a fix to this soon!

Ryan

I did some searching on the boards and found the solution to the problem...it's a very easy and quick fix! Here's the instructions:

problem: when creating a group that is "approve to join" or "invite to join". After clicking on Group Forum, you get the not allowed to view this bored error message.

Solution:
go here
components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_gjfireboard
open file showgroup.php
search for "if ( $result[0]->type > 1 && !( checkuseractive($groupid,$_CB_framework->myId()) || $admin ) ){"
should be aorund line 107

when calling the function
checkuseractive()
the first variable $groupid should be $groupId (capital I in Id)

Hello ComposerRyan,
thank you very mich for the post. You was very right with your solution.
