Hello Fred,

It's most likely that one of your menu's is set to a restricted / special permissions. Do you have any menu like this which is associated with EasyBlog's view?

By the way, kindly please do add your domain into your license details at http://stackideas.com/dashboard as we will soon be enforcing a new policy in the forums.

I have added the domain.

So you cannot send notifications to registered users and have them read the article if the blog has access level "registered"? The blog must be set to "public"?

Hello Fred,

Yes, the blog must be set to public to get the notification sent. The idea is if you have subscribers to your site, and you set the blog to only viewable for registered user only, and have the notification sent out, your subscribers will also receive it and can't view the blog post.

I have tried this every which way and I cannot get it to function as I think that it should. Maybe if I explain what I would like to do:

1. I do not want people who stumble across the website to be able to read the posts.
2. When posts are created I want a notification message going to all of the registered users.
3. When a registered user clicks on the "view post" button in the email I want the post to be displayed in its entirety without the user being required to login.

Right now, it is requiring that they login and as soon as they do login they get a message saying that the are not authorized to see the resource, and then the post is display anyways. If nothing else, I need to get rid of the error message.

If you need credentials to see the settings please let me know.

Hello Fred,

Sorry for the late reply. Based on your statement above, the issue is only the message once they are logged in right? As for the third point, it is not possible because once you set it to only registered user can view, you have to be logged in to view the post. You can provide us your backend and FTP so we can check on the message issue.

I understand your answer to point 3 and I can live with this, but

There are several menu items for EasyBlog. I changed all of them to "public" yesterday and when I click "Read Post" from a notification message, the error message appears and then the post. The error message has been confusing and frustrating my users. They are old people and once they feel that something is wrong they do not even try to read the post that shows below the error message.

If I leave all menu items as "registered", they are forced to login to read the message, but at least they do not get the error message.

Neither solution is ideal. I feel like I am missing something. I have attached all credentials.

Hello Fred,

Sorry for the late reply. I have missed your reply. Did you change anything on your site? Because I've tried to replicate to get the error you have mentioned above but failed.

Hmm, yes I upgraded from Community Builder 1.9.1 to 2.0.3. I had been having another issues with the default time zones and this was recommended. I just tried the Post Link and it worked. It is not often that you find "collateral benefit". Lets close this. Thanks for your help.

Hello Fred,

Glad that it worked. I will lock this discussion.
