Hello,
I have the upgraded version on prof. level now. When a group member logs in to their account and goes to the category menu , the registered members can under the category menu delete or unpublish a group. how and where do i go to make it so they cannot delete or unpublish a group . Otherwise somebody can really make a mess of things by deleting it all. Can you help please?



CATEGORY MENU

NAME: PROFESSIONAL PHONE REPS
CATEGORIES: 0
GROUPS: 1
TYPES: OPEN, APPROVAL, INVITE
EDIT
UNPUBLISH

They can only delete or unpublish a group that belongs to them. Please provide CB version, Joomla version, and GJ version. Did you test if the links are functional? Currently there's a bug that causes links to display even if they don't have permission to use the links, but the links aren't functional. This bug is only present on GJ 2.4 RC2 and only on profile tab.

Update:
Found the cause and resolved for next release, not a security vulnerability and is purely cosmetic.

Please understand folks you are professional subscribers and you are using a Beta release of GJ 2.4 to assist in testing and improving for a stable launch. You will have issues and there will be bugs. Please be patient with that understanding and I do not recommend usage on production sites until the "kinks" have been worked out.

I have joomla 1.5 and cb 1.7 cgroupjive 2.4cr2

Is there any way after setting the groups and categories up that only then can the super administrator publish, delete, unpublish? I set up a test member with no superadmin access and its showing i can still delete etc. ?How do i change that feature? Otherwise anyone in the groups could delete whatever. I did disable the panel but then my members cannot join anything. I want them to join a group but not have anyway to disable, delete un-publish etc. I set the owner to all the groups as my super admin owner yet when i log in under my testers they can delete each other and delete the groups .Sorry, i dont see how this is purely cosmetic. Please just tell me what parameters need to be set to resolve the above issue :)
please help.Thank you

This is only applied to groups and categories shown on users profiles (this also applies to the "Panel" as it's same API). It does not apply to groups seen through GJs frontend URL. Again, it's a cosmetic issue that affects the display of certain URLs but they will not function. This has already been fixed for next release. As I've stated already professional releases are betas and are intended to first looks, testing, and feedback. Do not use them on a production site.

This issue is only present in GJ 2.4 RC2 as it is a beta build (as RC implies). It's a known bug that has already been fixed for next release. I'm working as quickly as possible to address all issues and review all feedback provided. If you'd like a stable release then please uninstall GJ 2.4 and install GJ 2.3 found in the advanced downloads section.
