The problem with this solution is that when I add that line to the file then reinstall the module, it overwrites my existing stories. Then when I restore the existing stories with MySQL Dump, the permission disappears again!
Is there any way to add that permission without reinstalling the module?

Hi,
yes it's possible to add these permissions with an upgrade but I don't know how to do that.
You have to ask calguy1000. He knows how to do that.
But I know that in a few days an upgrade for the news module should be published.
So if you have time to wait a solution will be bublished.
So long.

Open file news.module.php with your favourite editor and go to line 43. You will found
Code: Select all
function GetVersion()
{
return '2.2';
}
Change it to
Code: Select all
function GetVersion()
{
return '2.2.0.1';
}
Then open file method.upgrade.php and go to line 99. Add after there
Code: Select all
case '2.2':
$this->CreatePermission('Approve News', 'Approve News For Frontend Display');
$current_version = '2.2.0.1';

No, can't get this to work.
I uninstalled the News module, changed the pages you showed and reinstalled; the permission appeared, but all my News stories were gone. Then I restored my database backup and the permission went again. The backup must be over-writing the permission. Can I install the permission manually, in PHPMyAdmin?

Don't uninstall the news module.
Only change the files and upload them.
That is all what you've to do.
You needn't to reinstall the module.

Yes, you had only to go to extension > modules (after changes I suggest). There you will see that News module needs an update - do it and you will be happy

OK, got it now; that worked, thanks. Should that cause any problems with future upgrades?

I changed the 2 files like told in this topic,
To the first you have to go to extensions > module in admin panel. There you will found on news modules line an info message for upgrading - do it.
After that you can go to users & groups > group permission in admin panel. Choose the group for news posters. In the following you will see the permission like suggested and you have only to mark (and save) it
