Hey Nick,
I've put your post in a new thread. Please next time don't hijack other people's threads but just start your own
I assumed that you are on joomla 1.7 (that is why I've put it in the title
) - correct me if I'm wrong.
Yep, there is a bug and I can confirm it! I'll fix it in the next version. Up until then you can do the following quick fix.
Go to components/com_hotspots/views/hotspot/view.html.php and change line 98 from
$hasRights = (hotspotsUtils::gethsUserType() >= $allowedUser) ? true : false;
to
$hasRights = !JFactory::getUser()->guest ? true : false;
This should solve the problem, I'll come with a better fix in the next release.
Daniel
