Having struggled with this for a couple of weeks not, I have something that is reasonably presentable.
Unfortunately there is no NEW TOPIC button, even on the Super Admin log in. AFAIK permissions are OK.
Is there a magic spell or incantation I should be aware of? 😀
All kidding aside, any help or guidance how to get this working is appreciated.
Cheers
Hi Guiguy,
It must be the permissions, please try to logout then in again after changing them, also check the permissions section under the forums edit page.

Do you have any one set as "Denied" ? because it denies everything under it.
A new major update is supposed to be available in a few days, if you can't get this one to work then you can send me a message using the "contact us" page and I can send you a beta installer for testing.

I completely removed Chronoforums. I also ensured all relevant tables were dropped.
I then re-installed.
In "Settings" I left "Dedicated Permission" at "No"
I created one category and one forum. I assigned the one category to the forum.
Same thing; no "New Post" button after logging in as either a registered user or super user.
We use the ACL Manager and Easy Profile. The Template was created with Artisteer.
PM me if you'd like a log in.
I think I kludged it;
I had set the main menu item linking the forum Chronoforums > Home Page - I noticed that it I then clicked the Forum > Category to open it for read/ write I got a 404, component not found.
However, if I called the forum with an explicit resource link as in
https://mysite.com/index.php/component/chronoforums/forums/f1/general-discussion
It worked fine AND the NEW TOPIC button was present!!??
OK, so I changed the menu to "External Link" and everything seems to be working as expected.
Cheers
Hi GuiGuy,
I have a new version in beta phase, would you like to test it ? its a total remake, but you can import your existing forum data of course, the demo is here:

Hi, I have the same issue, for love nor money, I can't get the new topic button working. The interface is intuitive and I have experience working with PHPBB so I get the idea behind the scenes.
It's sad that for the hard work that has gone into building this, it appears impossible to get a new post button :-)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks :-)
Ah me is a dozy twerp sometimes. I had set the item as a new category rather than as a New Forum! No wonder people couldn't post, a forum must belong to a category of course!
Congratulations Bob/Greyhead and Max - this is a darn amazing! You have done so much for the Joomla community over the last decade or so and helped me so much.
Thanks 😀
Can I just ask, is Max the same person as Bob/Greyhead?
Hi bgareth2,
No!🙂

Hi bgareth2 ,
