Description

A did a fresh CVS install (a minute ago), added one course and two student accounts which then enrolled to the course.

When the student clicks "Participants" in the course, then "Blogs", s/he gets a message "You do not have the required permissions to view blogs in this course".

I haven't changed the role permissions settings, and the default for Student seems to be
View blog entries: Allow
Create new blog entries: Allow

Strange it works for me.

Create blog entries can be assigned only in CONTEXT_SYSTEM, I would recommend creating Blogger role and assigning all people allowed on the site level, it does not work on course level.

I did a new fresh installation, emptied the database and everything. Now I don't get the error message anymore, but there is no "Add a new entry" link anywhere. This same behaviour was reported to affect moodle.org: no way to post new blog entries.

By default students can not post blog entries, they must be assigned a role that allows adding new blog entries at the site level.

Could you please try to find a place in docs for this information? thanks

Petr, I think this bug can be marked as resolved, as there is now a separate bug (7245) for the "can't post" issue. BTW, the default still seems to be that the students have a right to post blog entries, but they still can't do so (see the screenshot for the student permissions from a MOODLE_17_STABLE updated five minutes ago...)

Just a pedantic sidenote: not a duplicate, as this was about viewing the entries (gave an error, now fixed), the other is about posting (still unresolved)...

Tested in HEAD. Student in CF101 can post a blog entry as Yourself (Draft) and a site blog entry OK. Tested by logging-in as admin to view the site blog entry created by the student. Thanks. Now closed.
