Hi, Randolph.

I confirm that issue on your site.

Please, upgrade to stable version of 4.1 and check if issue persist.

Hi Michal,

just upgraded, and see that it's the same with 4.1 stable.

Hi, Randolph.

I assign developer to this thread.

Hi,

ACtually the behavior is not like that, that list of group wont be changed.. so if you choose my discussion or latest discussion, the system will ignore the group list selection.

I hope it will be clear.

thank you

Dear Dimas,

absolutely!

However, when choosing option "group specific", all groups should be available for selection.
But the module shows only some groups, while others remain invisible (although there are discussions).

Moreover, the option "latest discussions" is quite useless for us, because it doesn't respect privacy settings. When enabling it, discussions from private groups are visible to everyone. And there seems no way to change this behaviour in the module settings.

Hope this helps
Randolph

Hi,

That list modules on JS discussion is a bug, I already reported it.

thank you

Hi,

Here is the fix, open this file modules/mod_community_discussions/models/fields/jsgroup.php, find this code :

$groups = $model->getAllGroups(null, null, null, null, false,false, false);

$db = JFactory::getDbo();
            $query = "SELECT * FROM ".$db->quoteName('#__community_groups')." WHERE ".$db->quoteName('published').'='.$db->quote(1);
            $db->setQuery($query);
            $groups = $db->loadObjectList();

Hi Dimas,

thanks for providing us with this solution. Now everyting works ;)

Best
Randolph
