Thank you both very much! The selectors you provided worked perfectly.

I consider this request solved 🙂

Hi Scott

I’ve just finished moving the site from my local MAMP-environment onto my online testing-server. Interestingly, the forum creation now works without any troubles!

Looks like the default settings of MAMP are not ideal for CBOX…

Anyways, thank you very much for your help. Commons in a box rocks! Please consider this issue resolved 🙂

Sorry, the files were too big. Here are the second and the third screenshot.

Hi Scott

Thank you for your help. You’re correct, the “forum”-item just doesn’t show up in the menu. I can create forums from the backend as an administrator, but when I try to reach to the manually created forum by it’s url, I cannot create any topics. (See the first screenshot)

I don’t remember having updated the permalink structure, but there was no warning displayed on top of my backend. I tried to change the structure as you suggested, but I still cannot create any forums. (See screenshot 2)

As you can see in the attached screenshots, I cannot add a forum after the creation of a group either. Whenever I check the “I want this group to have a forum”-option and hit the “save”-button, the checkbox just gets disabled, but there is no forum shown in the menu list. (As you can see in the last screenshot)

I am planning to move the first version of my site on a online-server today. If you’d tell me your email-adress by personal message, I’ll send you the link to the site and create an administrator-account for you to have a look at it.

I am located in Switzerland, so there is always a relatively big delay in our conversations. If you have the time, this would propably the easiest solution.

Thank you very much for your support! 🙂

Hi Scott

Sorry for my delayed response.

 

Thank you very much for your suggestion. Unfortunately, this did not solve my problem. I checked if the checkbox is inactive, but it wasn’t. I then manually disabled it and hit the “save changes”-button and reactivated it afterwards. But I am still unable to create groups with forums.

I noticed that in your screenshot, you have selected “group forums” as your group forums parent. In my case, there is just — Forum root — avialable as option to select. (See the attached screenshot). Could this have something to do with my issue?

Thank you very much for your help.
