newbb2 blocks won't save allowed forum settings

Recently upgraded to 2.0.10 (no update to newbb2). Now I can't save Allowed Forum List in the blocks. It always stays on All, other options will save. I use the blocks to isolate specific forum lists.

I typically get strange block settings after an upgrade and I run around the site resetting options and all is well except for this new one.

Newbb2 is 2.0.2, XOOPS is 2.0.10.

One more quirk noticed. I deleted the custom template hoping to generate a fresh one to start with but I don't get the Generate option. I might have to Update the newbb2 module.... that will have to wait until a quiet time on the site..

Re: newbb2 blocks won't save allowed forum settings

Ah yes. That is the same problem, thanks. I searched around xoops.org and didn't find the same. Too bad the search is less than useful on the dev site. I could have browsed dev and may have found that post. But alas there isn't an answer.

The suggestion is that the problem is in 2.0.10.

I smell a patch coming....

edit->Someone on that thread mentioned moving to one of the newbb2 forks. Ummm, no thanks, I'll wait for that minefield to clear first....

Just an update DonXoop, I upgated to CBB and was able to select the forums to show in the recent topics list. So it does seem to be a bug in newbb 2.

A wish would be for the forums to be hidden in the block to users that do not have access. Then no selection would need to be made.

I'll hope that the official newbb2 gets fixed then. I'm not about to risk my forums on a fork app that may or may not be here next week.

For the blocks they already obey any access rights (if you don't use cache on that block). I do this for the main recent posts block. However I also use a small block for selected forum listings and that does require a selection config.

Hopefully there is still newbb2 devel.
