CMS Comments permission error

I have my CMS setup so when articles are made, a post is made in the forums where users can comment. The only trouble is that users cannot access that particular forum. Only Administrators and Moderators can.

I've triple checked the permissions and Registered Users do have standard permissions set there just like the rest of my forum. When they click on the forum they get:

Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

And some users get:

Sorry, you do not have permission to access this page

What am I overlooking? This one is driving me crazy. :(

I've just fixed it myself based on what Mystics said:

Comment out line 317 to 320 in showthread.php.

PHP Code:


		
			
//if ($thread['forumid'] == $vbulletin->options['vbcmsforumid'] AND !can_moderate($thread['forumid']))

//{

    //eval(standard_error(fetch_error('invalid_comment_forum', $vbphrase['forum'], $vbulletin->options['contactuslink'])));

//}

Now open forumdisplay.php, scroll down to line 138.

Replace the following

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!$foruminfo['forumid'] OR ($foruminfo['forumid'] == $vbulletin->options['vbcmsforumid'] AND !can_moderate($foruminfo['forumid'])))

with this:

PHP Code:


		
			
//if (!$foruminfo['forumid'] OR ($foruminfo['forumid'] == $vbulletin->options['vbcmsforumid'] AND !can_moderate($foruminfo['forumid'])))

if (!$foruminfo['forumid'])

You will have to do this if you upgrade your forum again or when ever you replace the showthread.php and forumdisplay.php files. Hopefully next release vbulletin team creates an on/off switch for this.
