Running SS 2.4 and Forum Trunk.
OK I have the forum as a page under a page that is restricted to a user group.
Once login in you have no problem of accessing the forum. If you do not login, then I have supplied a link to ForumMemberProfile/register it did allow access to the register for form for the forum (on my local dev machine), however now it does not (svn updates have been applied).. I actually only get a blank page.

What I would like to know is if I should be able to load the forum registration page from out side the forum if the forum is within a restricted page?
If not, how would one recommend dealing with this? I need people to register (be approved) then shave access to the forum?

anyone have insight .. I have updated to the latest trunk and I get this:

[Notice] Trying to get property of non-object

76 		return array(
77 			"Title" => _t('ForumMemberProfile.FORUMREGTITLE','Forum Registration'), 
78 		 	"Subtitle" => _t('ForumMemberProfile.REGISTER','Register'),
79 			"Abstract" => $this->getForumHolder()->ProfileAbstract,
80 		);

Well that sounds like $this->getForumHolder() is not returning a Forum Holder. Have you got at least 1 'ForumHolder' published on your site. And that user must be able to access (view) that holder.

right ok.. seems like there was a version that allowed it to work if the holder was not accessible (secured).. so I have added another hidden holder and that gets me to the registration form :)

I have also switched to the newly released version with support for 2.4 all seems well except that when I click 'click here to start a new topic.' the page loads with a blank line between the forum breadcrumb and the 'Currently Online:'
So I am unable to post anything to the forum?

Are you using a custom forum theme?

you are absolutely right, I had copied the forum theme and made a couple small changes... (mostly CSS) so I have simple removed the .ss files from my them and all is good with my css edits.
Its really a great system and very versatile.. but I still forget some obvious things here and there.. thanks for your help.
