Hello, I am building a company Intranet with Versatility 4 and using a Forums as well. The forums allows me to assign each forum access per a group or user type (registered, author, admin, etc...)
I REALLY need to add my own and name them by Department in my company. How would I go about doing this? For Instance, I only need "PAYROLL" to be able to view AND/OR post in the "PAYROLL" forum and only "LEGAL" for the same in "LEGAL"...
I have tried to add the groups within the DB itself, but it never appears in Joomla. Thank you very much in advanced! FYI - I am using Joomla! 1.5 . . .

TO add them in the DB you need to edit:
users
core_acl_aro
core_acl_groups_aro_map
If you match all 3 you can add users manually.
If you use Fabrikar extension you can make a custom form that will register a new user in the joomla DB and also tie in a fabrik table with a custom dept.
Then you can do some hacking around to let them access certain pages by running SQL queries against the user and the fabrik form.
OR
You can use K2 which allows you to have departments etc... and let them edit certain K2 sections.
You mention forums? If you bridge into PHPbb etc... you may find it even more messy! - Kiss my RSS
