Non-admin users can't post new

[conservationist]

Situation:

Greymatter 1.7.4 upgraded to 1.8.1
UNIX server

We have one administrator, with all rights, and several users who post content.

When these users login, and click on "Add a New Entry," they get this error:

"You don't have access to edit entries you didn't create.
You only have access to edit your own entries."

They are then shown a screen with their entries.

Each one is enabled to "post and edit their own entries."

Click "Add a New Entry" at the bottom of that screen takes them right back to it -- back to the same screen.

I have created a test user since the upgrade with the same rights, and it/he too cannot add articles.

Anyone have any ideas? I could not find a similar case in the forum today, "Troubleshooting" section.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

This sounds like a defect in the Greymatter software. I'll look into this and post a fix if needed.

This is a confirmed bug. Thanks for catching that. It cropped up due to some refactoring/code reuse.

Here is a link to the bug report and solution:

Thank you for taking quick action.

The bug is now fixed, we are up and running and quite happy!

Also, if it's not a perception issue on my part: is 1.8.1 a lot faster than 1.7.4?

I can't think of any reasons it would be, but part of the refactoring is to get away from the clunkly gm-library file which makes alot of extra calls to read in configs, templates, and counters. The extra calls add up (some pages would read the config file 10+ times).
