I just upgraded from 3.2 to 3.3 and in my case I just get folder ICONs showing the two Forums yet none of the groups show up underneath to choose.  I just downlodaed and installed the new version of the Forums 3.20.08. Also, If I manually perform an insert into the database for either Forum_TrackedWhatsNew or Forum_TrackedForums then all of the groups underneath the Forum folder ICON do show up with a check. Checking either or both of the two checkboxes next to the Folder ICONs don't seem to do anything!

Could this be some how related? Or is some new management feature preventing this?

Hal, I lost my original post because some reason DNN.com timed out. (I know we just did an upgrade to 4.3.4 so maybe i was in th emiddle of it. The checkboxes next to the group names do nothing, you must use the forum names here. This is a flaw in client API and there is no automated way to do it. This requires me altering items in the core client api js files to make this happen.

Thanks for the timely response. Then I'm confused and maybe I confused you in the process.

After, I log into my test user acount and then go to the forums to see that profile -- all I see in the trees for Tracking Forums, Whats New Tracking, Moderated Forums, and Default Forum is just the two group names and NO forums names.

Now, after I perform one insert statement into Forum_TrackingForums Table for one Forum then all of the forums names show up for that group. The other group just shows the name with NO forums below it.

I think I have the roles right? The forum module has "Member Current" role as view/edit where as the page has "Member Current" set to just view. For all of the forums in the "Official Announcements" group have "Board Members" role is assigned "Authorized Edit Roles". "Is Role Restricted?" is unchecked and "Is Moderated?" is also unchedked (however this should not matter -- just FYI).

So what this was doing prior to the upgrade was to allow users with "Member Current" to see all posts in the forums under the "Official Announcements" group and ONLY users with "Board Members" role could make posts. However, this allowed every to track the fourms as they want. If this is all goodness... Then what am I missing?

If I have followed the code right - I get to "PopulateTree" which builds all of the Trees -- then follow more code until I get to "AddForums" called by "Start Tree". Inside "AddForums" the "forumController" calls the SP "forum_forumgetall" which works correctly when I exec in SQL. So I think you end up looking at the following code:

For Each Forum As Forum.ForumInfo In forums
   If Forum.IsActive And Forum.IsAuthorized Then
      forumNode = AddNode(Forum.Name, "F", Forum.ForumID.ToString, _
                           eImageType.Forum, objNode.TreeNodes)
   End If
Next

At this point I can't seem to find my problem in the ForumInfo or IsActive or IsAuthorized -- which is the spot I think the issue is.... Unless the role setup is just plan wrong!

Did you try clicking on the icons to expand the Group node? In each group, it will show all available forums for you. I believe if no forums are available to you the entire group is skipped. I think you are missing here that you must click to expand.

If the user can see the forums in the search area or on the Group view page, they should be able to see it for tracking.

Those permissions are set at the forum level and requires you making it private. If you only want Board Members to post to a forum, they need to be the only authorized edit roles. As for view, you can use whatever you want here for that particular forum.

The role setup is not wrong in any way here. If that were the case these forums here would not fuction. This issue has nothing to do with the code, its a configuration issue.
