'Login to post new content in the forum' button assumes auth users have permission to post

Created on 26 October 2010, over 13 years ago

Updated 24 April 2024, 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

If the authenticated user doesn't have access to post in the forum because the Post Comments permission is not checked, then anonymous users still see an invitation to log in and post content -- which is misleading.

Proposed resolution

Remove the link above forum tables inviting anonymous users to log in when the authenticated user role doesn't have this access.

Remaining tasks

Review patch submitted at #66 → based on #40 → 's proposed resolution.

User interface changes

Per #40 → See Proposed Resolution

Original report by [username]

If the authenticated user doesn't have access to post in the forum (in other words, it's read-only), then anon users still see an invitation to log in and post content -- which is misleading.

After being applied to the 7.x branch, it should be considered for backport to the 6.x branch. Note: This tag should generally remain even after the backport has been written, approved, and committed.

Needs tests

Forum is approved for removal. See #1898812: [policy] Deprecate forum module for removal in Drupal 11 →

This is now Postponed. The status is set according to two policies. The Remove a core extension and move it to a contributed project → and the Extensions approved for removal → policies.

It will be moved to the contributed extension → once the Drupal 11 branch is open.

Just updating to say this can be moved once the removal of forum is committed to 11.x. It has not yet been done.
