I'm using the News module (v.1.44) and the Extcal module (v.2) with XOOPS v. 2.0.15 (fresh install). I'm sure this is something easy and stupid, but my searches yielded nothing useful, so I'm hoping somebody can help - I simply don't have any kind of "submit" interaction available so that registered users can submit their own news or create their own calendar entries.

In System Admin>Groups, I have all System Admin rights unchecked, All Module Admin rights unchecked, and all Module Access rights checked. If I do check the Mod. admin rights, users are able to edit existing items, but not create new ones (I don't want them to be able to edit existing, and do to create new ones).

In News>Permissions, I have Submit Permissions all checked for Registered Users and Webmasters, as well as Approve Permissions and View.

In Extcal>Permissions, I have View and Submit permissions all checked for Webmasters and Registered Users.

Incidentally, I'm unable as the webmaster to add events or news through the blocks as well - I have to go through the admin area. Please help! I'm a complete and utter newbie so please talk to me like I'm the village idiot...

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Ok...try this ; Turn on debug and report back. :)

Turn on debug:
To switch on debug, go to system admin-->preferences and then general settings. You will see a "Debug mode" field. Choose "PHP Debug". Then go to the page that has problems and copy and paste any error messages under php-debug messages in the template below.
