Joomla! Discussion Forums

Greetings,
I recently upgraded my web site from Mambo 4.5.1 to Joomla 1.0.7.
I have a problem.

Some of my menu items and modules should be visible to Registered users, but they are no longer visible.  For example, I had configured the Latest News module's Access Level to Registered.  I do not see it on the front page, though I am a Super Administrator.  If I change the module's Access Level to Public, of course it appears okay.  (All Public menu items and modules appear okay.)  The Latest News module also appears okay if I change its Access Level to public frontend.

This is not limited to the Latest News module; I used Latest News just as a good example, because it comes with Joomla.  I have the same problem with mainmenu items that should be visible to Registered users.

Also, in the Joomla User Manager, if I try to filter users by Group, I see no users.  Only if leave the group as "- Select Group -" do users appear.

I am running:
Joomla v1.0.7 stable (Sunburst)
PHP v4.3.9
MySQL v4.1.12
Apache v2.0.52

I followed the instructions for migrating from Mambo to Joomla.  As suggested, I upgraded from Mambo 4.5.1 to Mambo 4.5.2.3 before migrating to Joomla 1.0.7.

To troubleshoot this, I tried a few ideas.

• Someone suggested that my site template, blue_dragon, might be a little too old to handle ACL correctly.  I tried the Blue Dot template, and it did not seem to help.
• I inspected the Joomla DB.  I see data in the mos_groups,  mos_core_acl_aro_groups, and mos_core_acl_groups_aro_map tables.  The mos_groups and mos_core_acl_aro_groups data looks okay, but I am no expert.  The user that I log in as has a valid gid = 25, and usertype = superadministrator.  Looks good.
• I searched the Joomla Forums to the best of my ability, but did not see an issue similar to mine.

I am out of ideas.  Calling for help.  Thanks in advance.

In addition, I verified that the user (that I log in as) has a mos_core_acl_groups_aro_map record for group_id 25.
My understanding is that mos_users.gid is old and on its way out.  I probably should not have mentioned it.
