Group with no forum?
30 July 2012, 8:03
I've noticed a group on our site that has no forum and wondered how that was created. I've been through all the group type options and they all seem to get a forum.
Thanks

Hello Marion,
Does the same thing happen when you create another group?

Hi Kristina Doesn't happen at all when I create a group; i've been through all options. The person who created this group has several like this though. Marion

I could see this being possible if there were a different grouptype added as a plugin that only certain roles could create. Maybe I'm wrong there though!
Do you have access to the Site Administration?
If so, under Administer Extensions --> Plugin Administration --> Plugin type: grouptype , what do you see?
Also, on an unrelated idea.. are you a member of the groups with no forum?

Thanks for your reply. I've discovered it has something to do with my browser rather than being a new type of group. Should have checked the browser issue earlier, I guess, sorry.
I am a member of one of these groups. I am currently looking at the group from an XP laptop with Firefox 8.0 and I see all tabs. I am also currently looking at the same group from an iMac with Safari 5.1.7 and I only see three tabs. The iPad displays only three tabs also.

Oh dear! I wonder why Safari filters out the forum tab?

Hello,
Interesting. I just checked in Safari 5.1.7 on Mac OS 10.7.4 and see all tabs including the forum one when I check out groups on http://demo.mahara.org both when I am admin in a group and when I'm not admin.
Marion and Thomas: Could you please test on that site with your Safaris?
Cheers
Kristina
