Permission Issue!

Well-known member
Ho hum....

I have permission issues.

All of my admin permissions are set ok, all forum permission are set ok yet I'm missing most ability to moderate threads or posts. There is no drop down list to moderate threads except on admin threads and then there is just the ability to delete, nothing else. All I have is a "watch thread" link above forums right hand side with member generated threads.

So WTH is going on? :( SOOOOOOOOOO frustrated with XF and myself.

Thanks

Gabby
 
In user group permissions (click "users" tab, select "user group permissions" on bottom left) select your group, in "Forum Moderator Permissions" section set "yes" to all options.
 
Add your self as a moderator, some permissions are locked to moderators and not user group permissions. Users - Moderators - Add new Moderator. It isn't enough to just add your self in the moderator user group.
 
Hello Everyone,
Thank you for all your suggestions. I've done all of the above over and over again. I just tested a demo community and it appears am indeed missing some things.

I'll check yet another time and see.

THANK YOU! :)
 
Try to switch to the default style (even if it is disabled, admins can select it) and see if they are present there. Then there is probably a template issue.
 
Ok I have checked everything again. I'm mod and admin and still have to mod abilities other than stated above. I don't even have the check box next to each post to select. Somethings is haywire and this time I don't think it's my brain. LOL But hell, I've been wrong before.

Tried this as well. I don't have any mods that would cause template issue as they are standard and I haven't seen any issue posted here regarding a mod that I have and permission issues.

I dunno.
 
Is this a fresh install?

It's kind of hard to tell what is going on. If you could maybe post some screenshots of your permissions maybe someone can see what you got going on.
 
I am not sure then. Have you tried running a file health check?

Also, have you checked the source of the page to see if the html is present? Check a thread for moderation, then select view source and then search for <optgroup label="Moderation Actions"

Below that you should see all the options.
 
Thank you Magnus, I just ran a file health check as you were posting this and all is well. I cannot check the thread for moderation as there is no check box present.

Thank you Will. No this isn't a free install. And I'll post some screen shots in a few.

Well, that is a problem. Check the template thread_view and see if this is present:
Code:
<xen:if is="{$thread.canInlineMod}">
<form action="{xen:link inline-mod/thread/switch}" method="post" class="InlineModForm sectionFooter" id="threadViewThreadCheck" data-cookieName="threads">
<label><input type="checkbox" name="threads[]" value="{$thread.thread_id}" class="InlineModCheck" /> {xen:phrase select_for_thread_moderation}</label>
<input type="hidden" name="_xfToken" value="{$visitor.csrf_token_page}" />
</form>
</xen:if>

If not, add it after this bulk of code:
Code:
<xen:if hascontent="true">
<form action="{xen:link threads/quick-update, $thread}" method="post" class="AutoValidator">
<ul class="secondaryContent blockLinksList checkboxColumns">
<xen:contentcheck>
<xen:if is="{$canLockUnlockThread}">
<li><label><input type="checkbox" name="discussion_open" value="1" class="SubmitOnChange" {xen:checked $thread.discussion_open} />
{xen:phrase open_thread}</label>
<input type="hidden" name="set[discussion_open]" value="1" /></li></xen:if>
<xen:if is="{$canStickUnstickThread}">
<li><label><input type="checkbox" name="sticky" value="1" class="SubmitOnChange" {xen:checked $thread.sticky} />
{xen:phrase sticky}</label>
<input type="hidden" name="set[sticky]" value="1" /></li></xen:if>
</xen:contentcheck>
</ul>
<input type="hidden" name="_xfToken" value="{$visitor.csrf_token_page}" />
</form>
</xen:if>
 
As I said, I can take a look at it for you, but my guess is that you are not a moderator. If you go to the users tab in the admin CP, you will see a menu on the left hand side, click on Moderators there. Are you present there? If not, add your self there, check off everything and try again. This is kinda wonky with xF permissions, they are quite often double placed, though for moderator and admin, many of them are tied to the moderator permissions, not user group permissions.
 
Actually, you don't need to be added as a moderator to have those abilities. Being an administrator or in any usergroup for that matter with the proper permissions would give you access to that stuff.

With this issue at hand, I have no idea what is going on.
