Hi

You have 2 possibilities:

1. a) change the owner of the collection to the user that needs to edit.

1. b) use collection advanced permissions

Advanced permission allow you to create groups that you can assign to users to have ie. edit/moderator etc.- permissions

Thank you very much for your time to reply. I am familiar with the advanced permissions feature from previous versions. In this case with this 6.11.5 version even these are not working to give the normal user group topic posting permissions no matter how I set them.

The collection permissions are right, the group permissions do not universally apply to all users in that group as it should. And even setting each users permissions still does not turn on the button to post new topics. I would not want to have to go set all these individual permissions for every new user anyhow. With a busy forum this is a problem, new users should be able to post both topics and comments as default unless otherwise restricted.

Thank you for the help but I have a hundred people waiting for me to make something usable in the next couple days. I have used this many times in the past and liked it but I fear someone has made an attempt to fix something that was not broken, evident with the content block errors and Etc. I could not even sign up here because your own registration was broken. there was a content block error with the country picker so there was no way to complete the registration forms. Again thank you for your time but I have no choice but to move on and choose something else. This has gone from good to worse...

J.R.

Too bad.
I tested on my 6.11.5 installation. php 7.0.7, mariadb 10.0.32 and it works.

See my screenshots

Another setup - again with advanced permission:

User now in NOMAL-USER and has collection edit permission and Member of colletion
Group NORMAL-USERS is Member only - no other permissions

See screenshots

I could not even sign up here because your own registration was broken. there was a content block error with the country picker so there was no way to complete the registration forms.

PS. I am just a b2evolution user like you. I do not maintain any of the b2evolution website or code.

Hi @ jrbentley

By button ~ do you mean a button in widget like interface in the right column or do you mean there is no link on the evobar at the top of the screen for users. Is there even an evobar for user?

There's another issue

I do not maintain any of the b2evolution website or code.
Then the person who does should be sorting out your issues. So how did it get installed?

If you do have some basic access and skills put this in the address bar of your browser [https://*****.***?dips=edit] uisn your base domain. If you have permisison to write a new post you will be taken there to enter it's content. Or yoy will get a red warning saying you don't have permission ~ try https://b2evolution.net?disp=edit.

Once you get this way of creating a new post you can place a link anywher and make it look like a button or a ??? anywhere on your site.

If it works for you but not guests or however you define normal users then yes it looks like a permission issue. If you don't get the red warning then maybe an installation or set up error
