I am having an issue with CB 2.0.14 and Guest vs Public permissions. I've recently upgraded from 1.9 (where everything was working fine) and since my upgrade whenever a user finishes logging in two things are happening: first the login redirect is not working and secondly on the first article they visit after logging in (and ONLY the first article) they are getting the seemingly very popular message:
"Error
You are not allowed to view this resource"
(Not that it DOES NOT say "You must be logged in" as well).
Now, I know this is technically a Joomla error and NOT a CB error, I also know that this subject has been explored a ton in these forums but I did some investigating and I noticed a few things. Firstly, in this instance the error is a false positive; it only appears on the first article visited and after that it disappears and everything (seemingly) works fine. Secondly, I have the default user access level set to "Guest" instead of "Public", the reason being I need certain menus and modules hidden from both Registered and Guest users, something that setting the default level to Public does not let you do. However, This problem goes away if I do set the default access level to Public, which leads me to believe that this error popping up is left over from when a Guest user logs in and becomes a Registered one. Lastly, the login redirect no longer works for Guest but does work for Public (as above); after logging in users are directed to the home page which would be consistent with a standard permission error in Joomla 3.
As I said version 1.9 was working extraordinarily well and I'm not sure what part of the update caused all of this to happen. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
