Cannot uncheck Add pages permission from new groups

[Hypocrite]

I have the following problem:
I have added a new group with the permission to add Add Pages but I can't get the Add New Content link to show in the admin panel.

What could be the problem? What could affect the link not showing?

I have made a small change in the database where I have changed the names of the permission to Finnish. I have only modified the permission_text value and not touched the permission_name value. Could this break something?

I also noticed that the problem seems to be with only the permission to Add Pages. I tried to add that permission to other group and it was added correctly to the database. But now I cannot remove the permission from the admin panel.

Other permissions I can add and remove from the database without problems.

I found the problem. I had changed the name of the Manage All Content in the database. Now the editor links are displayed correclty.

Only problem I now have, is that I cannot uncheck the Add Pages permission.

When checking and saving, it correctly saves to the database. But when I uncheck it, it doesn't remove the permission.

Could you explain a little more what you tried when it didnt update the untick.

I just tested in 1.6.5 and all seems to work. If this is an issue, I need to have it reproduced in 1.6.5.....

The problem is really weird.

I have the following three groups in the CMS system:
Editors, Designers and Test group

I give them all the permission to Add pages. The permission is updated correctly to the database for all three groups.

Now when I untick all three group permissions and save, only editors group gets updated to the database. The two other groups still have the permission.

I have checked the database and all the information should be correct. I have also checked the code in the admin panel and the information should be correct.

I have three columns in the database:

Code: Select all

group_perm_id 	group_id 	permission_id
482                   	4  	     1
481                   	3 	     1
480                   	2 	     1 

And the code in the admin panel is following:

Code: Select all

<input name="pg_1_2" value="1" type="checkbox">
<input name="pg_1_3" value="1" checked="checked" type="checkbox">
<input name="pg_1_4" value="1" checked="checked" type="checkbox">

So in my opion, the permissions should be updated correctly for all the groups, but they only get updated correctly for the group with ID 2.

I think this a bug.

I tried it also with your demo installation here:

I made a new group with the name Test group.

I gave it the right to Add pages. Now when I uncheck it, and click Submit, the permission is still checked.

UPDATE:

I could reproduce this on latest as well... Thanks for the showing of the setup. I tried with regular groups....

I could only reproduce in one single instance, being that ONLY add-pages (actually if ONLY one tick on a permission) was set. It seemed that it does take the unselect as long as there is at least ONE other permission set.
