jhollin1138 Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 I recently migrating my phpBB2 forum over to SMF. I want to allow "Guests" to view/download attachments. I was able to find "View attachments" under the permissions for "Guests" and I have it checked. However, when I view me SMF forum as a "Guest" I cannot see the attachments. Is there something I am missing? Quote
jhollin1138 Posted September 27, 2006 Author Posted September 27, 2006 I think I have figured out my problem. It looks like SMF handles permissions total different then phpBB does. I haven't been able to get it working yet, so in the meantime I had to revert back to phpBB. Quote
TCH-Don Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 In Admin go to member controls > edit permissions under Permissions by Membergroup Unregistered Guests, click modify scroll down to Global Board Permissions - Unregistered Guests look for View attachments click on the radio button for A (allow) then at the bottom click save.

Thanks for the help but as I said in my first post, I already had that checked. I ended up needing to go to the board permissions and changing it from "local" to "global". Quote
TCH-Don Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Ok, I was not sure that was the same setting. Glad you got it working. Quote
