      Some permission problems

      I'm currently away from home and have tried to create an article with my sisters login details but came up with some problems which I'm confused about.

      I have several ranks on my website

      Administrator
      Officer
      Member
      Friend
      Registered

      Admins and Officers should have full article creation/editing permissions
      Member and Friend should have the ability to create/edit articles
      Registered has article creation and can't edit or delete.

      Now all these perissions are set up like the above but when logged in as an officer I create an article, save it.....and it takes me to the search page but doesn't actually create the article.

      I created a new user who had just registered permissions and eventually got this so that it let me create an article. I then moved this user to the officers usergroup (which has full permissions) and attempted to save an article and it did the same as before...took me to a search page and didn't save.

      Could you please take a look at my permissions and let me know what is wrong?? and why it wont let me create articles as an officer?

      This bug was reported earlier this week. It's slightly surprising to me because it's a fairly serious bug and the code that causes it has been present in the product for over a month, yet it took this long for everyone to start notice it was happening.

      What happens is that the existing code that checks if users are allowed to edit titles also considers whether they are a moderator or not. So even if they "Can edit titles," if they aren't a moderator, then they won't be able to. When creating a new article, VaultWiki doesn't distinguish it from an edit when preparing the title field and ignores the value, essentially making it NULL. With the title blank, VaultWiki redirects to the Search page.

      For the next build (shortly today), fixed both the overprotective title edit permissions and not being able to successfully create without them.
