Bug in News module 2.2. (CMS 1.0.7)?? [solved]

[saltydog]

I have recently update to cms 1.0.7 and I am experiencing a strange behabiour on news module. All users but the admin cannot "Publish" anymore the news! The combobox "Draft | Publish" is not displayed anymore at the end of the News page. Only admin can do that.

Is there any new permission to set?

I am definitely seeing the same behavior.  This is definitely a problem.  Anyone have a fix yet?

You should file this as a bug in the Forge:

I have the same problem. This is fairly urgent now.

Yeah, this is a bug.... there will probably be a 1.0.9 to fix this.

The bug is fixed in svn, it's a commit that was missed.

Essentially, there's the 'Approve News' permission that's missing from the install and upgrade methods.

Do you have a date planned for release 1.0.9? Now I have problems with customers who can't publish items, monday i go on holiday so i hope a new release is coming very soon 

1.0.8 is out, but the bug is still there!!

I ran into this too, what I did to work around this problem was this:
1. Open modules/News/action.defaultadmin.php
2. Find (1st 2 lines):

Code: Select all

<?php
if (!isset($gCms)) exit;

3. After add this line:

Code: Select all

$this->CreatePermission('Approve News', 'Approve News For Frontend Display');

so that it looks like this:

Code: Select all

<?php
if (!isset($gCms)) exit;
$this->CreatePermission('Approve News', 'Approve News For Frontend Display');

4. Go to "Content -> News".
5. Go to "Users & Groups » Group Permissions"
6. Select  "Admin" Group (or whatever your user group is).
7. Check box next to "Approve News For Frontend Display" and click "Submit"
8. Delete the line added from  modules/News/action.defaultadmin.php because now that the permission is added, the line is no longer needed.

Hope this helps,

Elijah

Brilliant.
Had the problem yesterday.
Registered on the forum less than hour ago.
Second search result delivers, great!

Next task, migrate 1.0.8 to 1.1 (2times)
If as smooth, then very happy.
