BuddyPress.org

As per your request:
1) As site admin I went to the BP profile page (see handbook), then courseware tab, to apply “teacher” role to a new user (previously not in contact with courseware).
2) Then logout admin, login user, /wp-admin shows that user’s (first registered) blog dashboard:
Under “Users > Your Profile” is all the usual stuff but *nothing* about “Additional Capabilities” at all (only Personal Options, Name, Contact Info, About Yourself).

I’ve done some more testing with strange results:

{Given I do *not* have courseware globally enabled and I do *not* have “allow all teachers” enabled so only group admins can work with their own group’s courseware after manually activating. Also, call troublesome user (my initial post) userA and the one used in this post userB.}

Observations:
Now suddenly for both users, the courseware dashboard shows some links in green (see handbook screenshot) and the “Add Assignment” link is on the courseware dashboard frontpage but still not available as a tab menu. Furthermore, clicking “Add Assignment” or changing “Course Description” result (still) in “BuddyPress Courseware Error while forbidden user tried to update the course”.
While I expect userB not to have those permissions, it shouldn’t be for userA (the initial problem) but it’s also confusing me why now the dashboard shows green colors and at least in *some* places the “Add Assignment” versus none so before I added the teacher role to another user.

Assuming some options for userA might have been messed up with version 0.1-beta, I disabled courseware, deleted the group, recreated it but all the same.

I created a new group for userB and enabled courseware but all issues are identical to userA.

Playing with courseware admin options Global / Collaboration Settings doesn’t change anything (neither display nor errors).

I already tried your suggestions in my previous post but it didn’t change anything.
(referring to “Playing with courseware admin options Global / Collaboration Settings doesn’t change anything (neither display nor errors).”)

- I tried collaboration setting after creating userB today to see if they could cross-work (in each other’s courseware) but that failed.
- userA and userB were already group admin of their own groups before courseware was installed and their teacher role applied.
(Note: they are only admin of their own group, as in userA=groupA, thus they are only default user (guest or joined) of other group).

So in summary:
- Any user without a role sees the group as a student (that’s what is supposed to, if I understand right).
- Each teacher sees own group as teacher except for the “Add Assignment” link.
- *But* no matter collaboration setting or not, each teacher sees the other group (where is not group admin) same as own group (Add Schedule …) although of course the error of no permission appears.

Sorry if I may sound confusing, I just report 1-1 the steps I do and results I get. I hope it helps. Let me know what else I could try or report.

Like I said before, I did all those things.

- “… a user to have teacher role and to be group admin …”:
That’s what both userA and userB are (both are teacher and admin of their own group where they themselves enabled courseware and were made teacher by site admin, as per manual’s instruction)

- Furthermore, I do *not* have “Additional Capabilities” listed on wp-admin/profile.php.

What bothers me is the lack of “Additional Capabilities”.
Could it be that courseware failed in beta install (0.1-beta) and botched up with settings not removed when uninstall/delete it before installing 0.1 release? I had plenty of errors on (only) the home dashboard of courseware with beta and the same problems as now (no “Add Assignment”…).
Steps taken: I installed 0.1-beta and activated. Didn’t work (errors) so deactivated, deleted. Waited for 0.1 and installed, activated that one. Redid everything as per manual. Then problems explained in this thread appeared. Upgraded to 0.1.1 and all still the same.

PS: I do not have any role management plugin installed in case that might conflict.

In short: failed.
Step by step:
1. userA & userB disabled courseware in their groups.
2. siteadmin disabled courseware plugin, then deleted.
3. siteadmin deleted BP custom field “Role” and group “Courseware” (bp-profile-setup).
4. siteadmin installed plugin and activated; new BP custom field created.
5. userA activated courseware in own group.
6. userA checked role status: neutral (student / apply teacher).
7. siteadmin went to userA profile page “Editing ‘Courseware’ Profile Group”, applied “Teacher” role.
8. userA checked role status: “Teacher” (“apply” option gone).
9. userA opened Courseware tab in group and all is same as before (no “Add Assignments” tab but dashboard link (gives permission error), “new schedule” creation results in green “no schedule exists” error and “Update course” also gives forbidden error.

A clean install as in “new WP & BP”? That is unfortunately not possible.
However, I could manually remove all files and DB entries if I would know what to look for.

Sorry for the late reply.
Meanwhile, here my active plugin list in case that might be helpful:

Thanks a lot for the fix of the plugin, it works now

Additional note for other admins with the same problem:
- re-apply the roles (open users’ profile (courseware) group page and click save)
