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

Marion

Is the forum tab there with just nothing in?

No 'Forum' tab.  Just 'About', 'Members' and 'Pages'.

Hello Marion,

Does the same thing happen when you create another group?

Cheers

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
