TCA somehow interfering with a view by anonymous users

[nattywebdev]

Delighted to see TCA ported to Backdrop - thank you!

I have a weird thing happening when the TCA module is enabled, but not activated for (eg) content type 'Page'. On my site, pages have a View that shows a banner image created as a Paragraph for that page. This works fine for my admin account but when viewed as Anonymous, the View (banner image) is not displayed. If I disable the TCA module, all works fine. Re-enable it and the View is hidden again.

I'd really like to use the TCA module as it fits perfectly a particular use case. Can you suggest what might be going on here? Or where to look to find further clues?

I'm a bit confused by the combination of View and Paragraph. Please can you provide more details of how this is defined. I'd like to try and reproduce so I can see if this is a bug, or just needs guidance.

Detailed steps to reproduce would be helpful. If this is a publicly available site (even if not live), please can you share the URL, privately on Zulip would be fine.

It's a single Paragraph of type 'banner', which comprises image, page title and subtitle. Originally it was built with a Field Collection, but I changed it for this site to use Paragraphs as that was more consistent (and meant I could remove Field Collections). The problem was there when the node type was using Field Collections, and I switched to Paragraphs as that was my intention. As you might guess, this is a D7 upgrade. I'll share the site details in Zulip.

The View is used to display the single Paragraph (banner) at the region called 'Top' at the top of the page, if one exists; for Layouts I'm using Harris (flexible).

I'm going to try and reproduce this.

Point of clarification for reproducing this: How is the paragraph banner item disabled from view as part of the paragraphs field?

[nattywebdev]

Like so:

Doesn't show there but the 'Banner' is a Paragraphs field with just one Paragraph Type enabled (named as 'Banner').

I can't reproduce this with the information given here and in Zulip. My steps:

1. create content type with paragraphs field and other field (i.e. body) - Don't enable TCA for this content type
2. Hide the para field from display
3. create "banner" para type with image and caption
4. create test node with a banner and content
5. create view block
6. Add block to layout
7. View page

I wonder if something else is happening here

Yes, I suspect it might be. Another inherited site upgraded from D7. Frustrating!
