> inherit. New rules have been added to this form so admin's shouldn't be able
> to have the parent topic of a topic be the child (or grandchild, etc.) of
> the same topic. You also shouldn't be able to make your topic be a child of
> a topic you do not have access to.

> Admins are going to have to keep an eye on what topics are hidden and what

> then anonymous users will not have access to that topic only. They still
> would have access to child topics if their security allowed it (though these

> The Topics block has been updated. It now shows the tree structure of the
> topics. Topics have several properties that affect them being displayed in
> this block. These are Security, if it is Hidden, and if it is a Topic for a
> different language. How it works is if the visitor doesn't have access to
> the child topic, or if it is hidden or in another language then it is not
> displayed. If it is not displayed then none of its child topics are
> displayed (even if the visitor would have access to the topic)
>
> Right now stories display in their topic but are not inherited (and no
> stories in multiple topics yet)
>
> Next up I will be working on getting the blocks from a child topic to be
> inherited by a parent topic when viewed.
>
> So once I have committed these changes and if you have a few moments I could
> use some people to just double check that the topics work as advertised.
