GRPS: Groups Commune 2.0.x

[djilou]

Hi
to fix the pagination problem
On browse.php
Replace
$totalgroups = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(groupid) AS total FROM grps WHERE approved = '1'");

with
$totalgroups = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(groupid) AS total FROM grps WHERE approved = '1' AND catid = $c");

[quiklink]

Try this to add Groups to a user's public profile. It works for me:

Create a new plug in:
Product: GRPS: Groups Commune
Hook Location: member_complete
Title: GRPS: List Groups In User Profile
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:
// ###################### extracts my groups groups for main grps page
//require_once("./includes/functions_grps.php");
$grps_ids = explode(' ', trim($userinfo['grps']));

$baselocation = ($vbulletin->options['grps_locationswitch'] == TRUE) ? $vbulletin->options['homeurl'] : $vbulletin->options['bburl'];

if (!empty($userinfo['grps']))
{
$grps_ids_imploded = implode(",", $grps_ids);

$grps_mygroups = $db->query("
SELECT grps.groupid, grps.title, grps.description, grps.approved, grps.leaderid, grps_setting.image_name, MAX(grps_thread.lastpostdateline) AS dateline
FROM grps
LEFT JOIN grps_setting ON (grps_setting.groupid = grps.groupid)
LEFT JOIN grps_thread ON (grps_thread.groupid = grps.groupid)
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user ON (" . TABLE_PREFIX . "user.userid = grps.leaderid)
WHERE grps.approved = '1' AND grps.groupid IN($grps_ids_imploded)
GROUP BY grps.groupid
ORDER BY dateline DESC
LIMIT 15
");

$mygroups = "<ul>";
while ($grps_mygroupsinfo = $db->fetch_array($grps_mygroups))
// foreach($grps_ids AS $grps_key_id => $grps_mygroups)
{
if(!$grps_mygroupsinfo['image_name'])
{
$grps_mygroupsinfo['image_name'] = "<img src=\"" . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/" . $stylevar['imgdir_grps'] . "/grps_mygroups_noimage.gif\" alt=\"" . $grps_mygroupsinfo[title] . "\" border=\"0\" /><br />";
}
else
{
$grps_mygroupsinfo['image_name'] = "<img src=\"../groups/grps_imgs/defaults/" . $grps_mygroupsinfo['image_name'] . "\" width=\"100\" alt=\"" . $grps_mygroupsinfo[title] . "\" border=\"0\" /><br />";
}

if ($grps_mygroupsinfo['leaderid'] == $userinfo['userid'])
{
$grps_mygroupsinfo['leader'] = "<img src=\"" . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/" . $stylevar['imgdir_grps'] . "/grps_leader.gif\" alt=\"" . $grps_mygroupsinfo['title'] . " Leader\" border=\"0\" /><br />";
}
else
{
$grps_mygroupsinfo['leader'] = FALSE;
}


$mygroups .= "
<li id=\"grpsgroupsbullets\">
<a href=\"" . $baselocation . "/groups/groups.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "g=" . $grps_mygroupsinfo['groupid'] . "\" title=\"" . $grps_mygroupsinfo['title'] . "\"><b>" . fetch_trimmed_title($grps_mygroupsinfo['title'], 15) . "</b></a><br />
" . $grps_mygroupsinfo['image_name'] . "
" . $grps_mygroupsinfo['leader'] . "
</li>
";
}
$mygroups .= "</ul>";
//eval('$grps_mygroupsprofilebits .= "' . fetch_template("groups_usercp_groupsbits") . '";');
$grps_mygroupsprofilebits = $mygroups;


}

And of course make the plugin active.

Now go edit your memberinfo template and add $grps_mygroupsprofilebits where you want them to appear on the user's public profile page.

Hi,

I'm having problems with permissions and I am using the latest download with the fix. My forums are installed under public_html/forum and this is my config:

chdir("../forum");

When I go to http://www.site.com/forum/groups/ I immediately get the permissions error message when i'm logged in as admin or regular user, and I changed permissions for both user groups to access the grps (you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:)

Thoughts? Thanks!

Make sure you have Groups turned on in your Admin CP or you will get that permission error no matter what other permissions you have set.

[nutnut]

GRPS set to active yes.

[quiklink]

Make sure you have 'Is The GRPS directory parallel to your forums directory' set to 'No' since you are running it under the forum directory.

Oh, geez, that was it. Dyslexic moment I guess I read it wrong the first time. Thanks!

And thanks to the coder of this!

[Mum]

When you hit New Posts, does it bring up the ones from the groups as well?

[Mum]

Can you move posts from the normal forums to a group?

[quiklink]

No

Can you move posts from the normal forums to a group?

No

[Mum]

Once you are in the groups section, can you then find just new posts from that group?

[quiklink]

There is an RSS feed that you can work with, but straight 'out of the box', no.

[Mum]

OK so dumb question then, how do members know when there is new posts if there is no new posts funtion?

Well I guess they either check the individual groups or the webmaster incorporates they RSS feed into their site.

[BETIServices]

Everything was working fine until I decided to edit a post, now I get the following error:

I explain, I posted a new thread for a group ad them I decided to edited because the avatar is not changing even the avatar was change in the userCP, now I download a fix on this post page 117 and is fix but is not deleting the entire posted thread, it left the thread open for more posting....

Please try to duplicate error..

[quiklink]

Gotcha. Yes I can duplicate this. Give me a bit to look at the code and maybe I can see what the problem is and how to fix it (please note this is not my mod, just trying to help and using it myself so don't expect miracles or fast response).

[BETIServices]

LOL any help is appreciated!
I'm sure sabret00the will be o.k with the extra help...

[quiklink]

Unfortunately it's going to take a bit of a rewrite to get working. I've got a few mods for my own site I am building right now so it might be few days until I can find a complete solution to this problem. Hopefully sabre might pop in and offer a faster fix ;)

[BETIServices]

Hey thanks to try to fix it for us....
When you finish you mods please share :)

[WDZaphod]

Hi!
Can somebody give a "summary" about the project here?
Is it still in maintenance by the author, or do the people in this topic do the job?
If I install the actual version - will I experience bugs, or are you just adding features?
I am pretty new in vB, I look for an extension like Orkut, but I'll be very helpless in troubleshooting...

Thanks a lot,
Michael

[edenx]

he's working on 3.0

[JonnyLA]

Hi!

Nice Add-on!

Is there a way the admin or group leader can edit the group images? I can't find any :(

Jonny

[Mum]

I installed and uninstalled, it needs to be merged with forums a bit better, so that you can search and find posts, and hit new posts and find new posts.

[Fabsboards]

Suggestion for 3.0

Sub categories.

[RvG2]

how can i fix this template issue?

http://www.christian-life.net/forums/groups/

note: forums/groups are not parallel.

[john2k]

Nice mod. I'm not using it yet, but am considering. So, what happens when a group leader becomes inactive? Maybe dealing with that could be another suggestion for 3.0:

Suggestion for 3.0:
- The original group leader could be the primary leader, with any added co-leaders not being on the same level, but still being able to moderate the group
- If the primary leader becomes inactive, then primary leadership can be automatically inherited by the first co-leader that was added
- If no co-leader is on the group, then the group will either need to wait until the leader returns or request the admin to change the group leader manually

[Melissa Miller]

I seem to have all of my permissions set correctly for the user groups. However, when someone tries to reply only the quick reply works. If they use Go Advanced then there is a "You dont have permission to access this page... yada yada....."

Im sure its an easy fix? Everything else works great.

[RichieBoy67]

It is missing some images. Does anyone have them??

Thanks

[0tolerance]

i cant get this to install.. i just get errors saying its missing global.php
fixed up some file paths...

I PM'd sabret00the a bug report and received a response that he would only provide assistance if I sent him money via Pay Pal.

I am uninstalling the mod and recommend that others do the same as well.

Why lie?

I said and it's written clearly in my sig, i only provide private support for money via paypal. you wanted private support thus pay otherwise wait like everyone else until i find time, better yet read the thread and see that most of the problems have been previously discussed and solution provided. where one hasn't been i will provide one when i get time and considering you're not willing to pay me to make time, be patient.

People i only have so much time during any one day, and when i do get free time, most of it is going into 3.0, this is the same free time i dedicate to spending with friends, watching anime, movies, listening to music and relaxing. i apologise if you don't feel i'm not forthcoming enough with help in this thread, but at some point the priority had to change from providing support to building a better more evolved version. surely that's understandable.

for those with newreply problems "Go Advanced" or "Quote" problems, try this file. it appears to have been fixed on local, though i can't remember when. let me know if this fixes your problems or not.

Anyone with outstanding problems that haven't seen a bug fix in this thread, please repost them. i only really want to make one upload regarding 2.0.XX this week.

Not to be a jerk or anything, but if this is true, you need to take off the "Supported" indicator on this hack. Usually, this indicates that the mod's author is willing to provide ongoing active service and support with their modification for anyone who asks for it, not for people who send him money.

I'm very much looking forward to 3.0.

[sabret00the]

Lie? All I did was report a bug and he asks for money.
This is the correspondence we had
Please note that i only provide help through PM at a charge. Should you like me to help you, you'll have to pay a fee through paypal. Please advise?

However please note that, number two was fixed in a file attached in the thread, number one however is an outstanding bug.Two problems

1. I attempted to do a reply to a message using "Quote" and got the following error (I'm an Admin)

...you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

2. I attempted to delete a message and got the following error



Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:...

I like what I see. I'd be willing to pay for a professional version.Now tell me where i'm telling you anything that wasn't previously stated in my signature?

Not to be a jerk or anything, but if this is true, you need to take off the "Supported" indicator on this hack. Usually, this indicates that the mod's author is willing to provide ongoing active service and support with their modification for anyone who asks for it, not for people who send him money.You're not being a jerk, but the fact of the matter is, i've plugged countless hours into this mod, when i started getting my inbox flooded and IM's left right and centre for trivial matters, i decided that it was enough, anyone who really wants me to give one-on-one help should pay for it. To say i should remove the supported sign is ludicrous, i've kept an eye on this thread and no one is reporting problems that weren't already reported. i just didn't have the time it requires in order to provide the bug fix. as of yesterday i provided a bug fix to the last outstanding problem. Please tell me where i'm not providing support? the whole reason i have this thread is because i wanted to keep everything in one place. We're all admins, we all know how to search/read threads.

3.0 is already at least for me twice the product that 2.0 will ever be through any amount of modification and it's on that basis that i'm comfortable keeping support here at a minimum. i have this thread on 40 posts per page and for atleast 42 of those 44 pages, you'll see me providing support. I refuse to suddenly remove support tag, something of which i've provided because i refuse to continually search through the thread and link people back to the posts where there initial queries were handled. That time has been dedicated to updating and expanding the codebase for a future version.

[Fabsboards]

It was a bug report, not a request for help.

Re-read what I sent you. I never once asked you to do anything. I simply reported a bug and the first thing you did was ask for money.

[vitoreis]

Sabret00the provide us the support he can. All the bugs have been fixed... if you don't understand what is a free module is better to all if you uninstall GRPS.

( Sorry for the off-topic )

No, that is incorrect. Not all of the bugs have been fixed.

True, it's free. What does this have to do with anything? I reported a couple bugs!

Don't expect to get any help, unless you're willing to pay through the nose.

I think it's time to either fork another branch, or start a new project.

[0tolerance]

[Actually i think that sabret00the isnt a jerk.
Because i'd like to see some one else make this mod and then provide fixes for its errors..
so dont winge and just enjoy the mod.

ive found a problem on one of my boards..
i use vBadvanced and all the links in the groups section points to my forums, but if i manually type the add a group link it will work, so its nothing to do with anything else except this


which makes all the links point to www.exasco.info/forum/index.php?do=creategroup
instead of www.exasco.info/groups/index.php?do=creategroup

so if you or any one has an idea on how i can fix this, i could greatly appreciate it.

UPDATE:
This appears only to be a problem on a 3.6.2 board with vBadvanced installed on it.. works perfect with 3.6.8 and vBadvanced

[0tolerance]

just to fasboards again.
create a mod and provide fixes for it then....

Sabret00the is a busy person and he stated before that he was busy and his spare time is used so he can have a life and not be a drone that works for every one all day.

He releases many updates, check the darn list.
his mod is excellent, if i was working a 9-5 job and then the time i had was used putting up with people like you, i'd ask for payment aswell.

and for 42 years old, you dont seam very mature.
what you have been saying about his mod is defamatory and if he really wanted he could take legal action against you for harrassment and bad mouthing his modifications.

so drop it, leave the thread and get a life.
if you or any one else doesnt like the mod, dont install it, if you have a problem that you need fixed because your board needs the mod, then a few $$ shouldnt bother you.

Does this allow Group creators to upload a group image?

[0tolerance]

i was thinking the exact same thing but apparently it doesnt.
but im sure this is one of the feature he is coding into 3.0..

sabret00th do have an ETA on the completion of 3.0 beta?

[Code Monkey]

Is there a 3.0 in the works? I'm on page 7 of reading this thread so forgive me if I haven't gotten there yet.

Things I would like to see after playing with it a day.


More control over images. ex. Specific group home image and group leader image upload for groups unique image.
Group image next to group name in group list. #1 needed first of course.
The ability for the group leader to request, and admin to fulfill, the movement of a group thread to a main forum in vBulletin. This would give it group project capability. Or sometimes a topic is just too good to keep in the back room.
The ability to move a forum thread to a group.
Sub Categories which is self explanatory.
A mechanism to request categories and sub categories as well as the ability to tie that request to a payment option.That's all I can think of so far. There seems to have been a lot of work put into this mod so far. Thanks for all the hard work on it.

Group image is already done, the implementation is that each group gets it's own gallery, for each gallery you can select a gallery front cover as well as the actual group image. In most places now, groups are listed with their thumbnails.

The ability to move forum threads to groups is something i've been looking at for a while and to a degree, i had a very personal wish to be able to mass do the task by forumid (i doubt that will go into the stock, i can't be arsed with the GUI from now and i'm a while away from starting) but in regards to doing it the other way around. i'm not so sure about, who knows though, i'll give it some thought.

Sub-Categories, every one wants these things and i have no idea why. I can't even see the use of the implementation in my head, that said however, everyone seems to want them and so while they'll be last on the list, i'll work towards achieving it.

The mechanism to request sub-cats, interesting idea. however i wonder, why wouldn't you run such a request method through ordinary means such as a thread or pm?

For example under the games category a bunch of people create wow topical groups. Well then it would be nice to have a wow subcat to organize it better for those looking for groups to discuss wow. It would also give people a link to give others to tell them where to find topics such as this.

The mechanism to request sub-cats, interesting idea. however i wonder, why wouldn't you run such a request method through ordinary means such as a thread or pm?

Just convenience is all. You know how busy we get as admins. It would be nice to see an email stating that user "A" had paid for and requested a "widgets" category. Then I could just add it or refund if I don't want widget discussions on my site.

I sent you an email through an indirect method. ;) Thanks again for all the hard work. And believe me, I know what a pain those PM's here can be for coders.

EDIT: Another thing that would be useful is instead of having the yes/no option for a usegroup to be limited on group joins, have the number of joins allowed entered and 0 for no limit.

[Freak0204]

Regarding images... All avatars and half the smilies work OK. But we have special graphics and vbplaza stuff in our postbits that aren't showing up in the groups. How can the code for those graphics be included so they show up? Also, what would you suggest regarding the other half of our smilies not showing up in posts, within the groups?

Can't you just use the default thread and post system to store group threads and posts? That would help add them to the sites total threads and posts as well.

[Code Monkey]

Another thing to add would be the vBulletin AJAX username check to the textfields for inviting users to a group.

[Code Monkey]

Is it already a known bug that the quote and reply button do not work? I searched but only found problems with the quick reply. Quick reply works for me.

[Melissa Miller]

The new reply file did not fix it. Quick reply is the only one working still. Thanks.

for people who have been waiting days for a reply, i apologise it's my birthday week so i'm kinda useless this week. if i haven't been drunk i've been hungover. today's my first real break and then i'm back on it for the rest of the bank holiday weekend.

it's never a good idea to piggybank the engine in such a way in my opinion.

that's been handled in a much nicer way. sadly i can't find the screenshot to show you atm.

Seems as though we are having the same issue many others are having. No one can reply to threads in their groups. They get the no permission message. We do not use quick reply on our forums so no idea if using that works or not. I did try to use the other newreply file that was attached a couple of pages back but that did not fix the problem.

Agreed. You assume that everyone has already installed multiple hacks before, which is probably taking too much for granted. Assume this is the reader's first install and go from there.

does anyone have the fix for the breadcrumbs to make them the same as vbulletin?

FORUM - Groups - group ... etc.. ?

Also when viewing groups, etc..

The who's online displays

Unknown Location
groups/browse.php?c=1

how to add all the location in groups so it displays correct?

[Iskib]

oh yeah I forgot groups are install in root not in forum root....

Any help would be great on the issues above

[Iskib]

Well it has been a few days and no response... doesn't anyone know how to solve the problem I am having?

[Iskib]

uninstalls .... no support here and I was going to donate lol alwell

[sabret00the]

yes, but apear a blank page

http://pruebas.cibertangas.es/foros/groups/tools/grps_installer.php
it doesn't even say "done"? are you getting any errors at the top of your groups pages?

[sabret00the]

Well it has been a few days and no response... doesn't anyone know how to solve the problem I am having?
Just for the record, don't blame me. blame me vbulletin.org i put in a request a long time ago for an overhaul of the subscription system to give updates for every reply in support threads and i got a point blank refusal. if i see a reply in my inbox and i don't check the thread and then forget about the reply. i do not get another update to the thread and then i get people +++++ing about no support because they never got a reply within a few days of posting a problem.

As to your issues (not that it matters as you've uninstalled but for future people that have the same issues: There is no real support for the whosonline as per the stock vBulletin project. Please see this thread (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=232733) as to a solution regarding this problem.

As per your other issue. I believe someone wanted to mess with the breadcrumbs early in the thread. If a search doesn't turn up anything then i'm not sure what to say. It's outside the realms of 'support' i'm able to offer right now.

[sabret00the]

yes for me too
i'm really having problems locating the issue here. i know it exists but can't find the cause. sorry that's the best i can do it in terms of an update at this very moment in time. i'll have more of a look at it later.

[sabret00the]

can someone tell me why this happend s?

http://www.cibertangas.es/pruebas/groups/groups.php?g=1
turn on your error reporting (ask your server guy/support to do it) and it'll display the error you're getting. i believe it's merely down to a misconfig in your grps config.

[sabret00the]

Agreed. You assume that everyone has already installed multiple hacks before, which is probably taking too much for granted. Assume this is the reader's first install and go from there.
if you would like to offer suggestions, then please do. sadly that's all i can really say on this matter. i know what you're saying but i seriously don't see how it relates. if you can tell me that i should be saying XXXX instead of YYYY then i'll be sure to make an easier to comprehend version as per your guidance.

Sorry if someone already posted this but I just installed the newest version and it was still in there. Also, wasn't about to read through 123 pages to find out ;)

blindMoe
a fix was posted by me a few pages back. thanks for the assistance though. it REALLY helps.

[sabret00the]

i'm really having problems locating the issue here. i know it exists but can't find the cause. sorry that's the best i can do it in terms of an update at this very moment in time. i'll have more of a look at it later.
working on this atm.

[sabret00the]

noted :)/:(
fixed :)

if i can get the reply bug sorted. it'll be in the update i'll release today.

[sabret00the]

Ok here's a newreply.php i just tested. This problem is really getting on my goat now because i don't actually check for permissions at all. It checks to see if you're a member of the group and it checks to see if you're a member of the forums (if you have a userid) bar that. It doesn't check anything. i've put in a couple flags as to notify you of what the problem is. if you can let me know the results if any then i'd be grateful.

Please note i only have like a two hour window to work on this today. So if you get back to me with this info later than that, please don't get pissy if it takes me a while to reply.

[Code Monkey]

All I got is a white screen. I removed the . from ./ on lines 48 - 53. Page loaded fine but I still get the no permission. It could be because your not checking some things, that some other things that are needed aren't being set.

[Melissa Miller]

I get this warning:

Warning: main(/home/havanese/public_html./includes/functions_newpost.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /groups/newreply.php on line 48

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/havanese/public_html./includes/functions_newpost.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/havanese/public_html/groups/newreply.php on line 48

I took out all the dots in lines 48-52 because I got the error on each line.
This fixed the quick reply... I can now use it! :)

I still can not use Go Advanced. It says I am not a member of that group, however I am going to see the update you posted today and see if it fixes that problem.

[sabret00the]

it says you're not a member of the group melissa. wonderful. it means there's been progress.

what's it say at the top of your no_permission_page() CM?

[Code Monkey]

Ahh, I didn't see it because it's a dark style.

you're not a member of this group

[sabret00the]

Again no email from vBulletin.org how on earth am i supposed to fix bugs within a window of opportunity if i can't even be alerted as to feedback properly?

anyway here's another one. please test asap again.

[Melissa Miller]

Now I get this at the top of the page... still the no permission error.

you're not a member of this group (1)
Group ID: 0
Array ( [0] => 2 )

[sabret00the]

sorry got another one for you to test.

and just to confirm. your url when you click "new reply" is http://yoursite.com/groups/newreply.php?do=newreply&t=9

the bold part is the important bit.

[txsbmw]

sorry got another one for you to test.

and just to confirm. your url when you click "new reply" is http://yoursite.com/groups/newreply.php?do=newreply&t=9

[sabret00the]

i killed the page before i got the info i wanted.

btw feel free to kill any info you want.a ll i really i need from that array is threadid, groupid, userid.

anyhoo another newreply.php

can i get all the info from the top of the page again please.

[Melissa Miller]

Now it gives me this on a white page instead of the no permission part.

$threadinfo:

Go advanced gives me the same error as above.

[txsbmw]

Ok I get the same as my last thread but do get the message editor box to type a reply. When I click submit reply I get this at the top with the no permission message underneath:

you're not a member of this group (1)

[sabret00the]

all of this is actually helping. thanks all. every single post is like a huge leap forward here. of course i'm disappointed because i'm almost at the alpha stage of 3.0 so i'd rather this thread didn't exist for a week or two, but for you lot i'm happy, your issue looks like it's finally about to be solved.

[sabret00the]

PS Melissa you can delete the url from your post now. i got the info i needed.

[Code Monkey]

This last one worked

Doh!!!!! Lmao

Well well.. Now that your answering questions. For the who's online link you gave in previous post . That don't really tell me anything other the way vbulletin handles WOL should be different.

I remember way back when we could just edit the /include/functions online .php mistake me if I am wrong with the name of the file.

Going on the thread you sent me to couldn't you just write a plugin that would tell all the WOL places in Groups ?

Also yes there was a post earlier in this thread I think by vprovision or something along those lines about changng the breadcrumb part of groups to make the vbulletin style (i.e. Forums ---> Group --- > Group name etc... Tried pming him no response for his step by step guide. So if anyone knows how to do this or what changes need to be made for this that would be great.

I know my members would like public Groups, but I can't release it public until The WOL places and breadcrumbs are fixed. Everything else is working great as far as I can tell.

Only suggestions other then the above ones would be to allow the group leader to upload a group images and to somehow integrate photoplog, photopost etc.. or maybe even not intregrate a gallery software and just let group members upload pics to the group kind of like myspace does.

Well well? wtf are you on? And please learn to talk to people better than that. I answer when i can based on my calender, not your desire. Please remember this is a hobby. As i stated in the thread it was my birthday so i never done anything and then i was allowed hangover time to get to grips with my life and the responsibilities i put to one side. Not to mention vbulletin.org doesn't mail me for every support request i get and i don't have time to sporadically refresh this thread.

WOL: You're not wrong, you can edit the files or it could be handled by login. however given the location of the files and the dynamic nature of the script. the current method isn't feasible as per stated in that thread.

Your Members: I do not know what to suggest regarding your breadcrumbs/WOL issues. As stated (not sure if you've read the thread) i'm working on 3.0, thus most of my creative juices and time go into that right now as it's the priority. Neither of those two issues will be sorted out for the 2.0.x branch of the code.

Group Images: It's already been coded for 3.0.x

[txsbmw]

Well well.. Now that your answering questions.

WOW! Besides him being busy and having a life as well as celebrating a birthday, he was trying to get the reply feature to work for all of us so the groups would work properly. I would rather him have worked on that reply issue then spend the little free time he did have to get on here instead to answer questions that for the most part have already been answered in previous posts.

BTW sabret00the great work today getting that issue resolved. My members are all happy campers now.

Txsbmw Yes you have a point if the problem that you are talking about happen before I posted questions like a week ago. I waited patiently and no one would respond. Finally he responded and then responded to the problem you all were having. I don't mean to be an A******, but as the same with you members get on my back about things not working/showing up the same as they would you. I guess it gets me frustrated when I don't have an answer for them.... same as you as a coder would get frustrated when you don't have an answer for someone like me.

sabret00the: bro I wasn't trying to be a d*** just wanted to get this up and running because it is a great mod and I know my members would love it. So I guess if you or anyone else good at php get some free time and would help with those problems that would be great.... if not I guess I can wait and make the groups public when 3.0 comes out. Not a problem.

Is there an ETA on 3.0 ?

[rainyleaves]

Thanks, sabret00the !!

This is my question for 3.0

* First : Will you include PM for Group members?
I mean, can I PMming only for my custom group members?
I really want this Group Tool function.

*Second: Can I use variable 'Groups Limit Per User' by VB user group permission?

And When you will upload 3.0?

Sorry my English. :)
Thanks.

No ETA on 3.0. Especially considering it'll go through heavy review for the beta test.

Your English is fine :)

PM's for group members. It's not a feature that i've put in at this point due to how open for abuse it is. However I'll be sure to reconsider this when I get it into beta and if I opt against it, I'll be sure to put in the necessary hooks to enable it with a simple plugin/product.

Regarding your second point/request: The group limit function was removed for 3.0 i'm afraid.

[rainyleaves]

Could you include 'This is my groups' link button at Memberinfo page.
This mean, Members can open who has group's list(Can open Own's group page or Own's groups list) from Memberinfo page.
I think this fuction is very useful for member's networks.

Thanks :)

[txsbmw]

I found a couple of "issues" at least I think they are issues. Maybe it was designed to be this way:

1) Posts within the groups are not reflecting on the members post count. In other words if you make a post within one of the groups it does not add to your post count.

2) If you make 2 posts right after one another within the same thread of a group it merges the 2 posts. What I mean by this is say I make a post within thread X a couple of minutes later I go to make another post within thread X in which no one else has replied to since my last post, it will merge my 2 posts. However, if I make a post, then member Y makes a post, then I come back and make a post. My posts will show up as individual posts (this is within the same thread of course).

Hope I made sense in explaining that.

[djilou]

2) AdminCp => GRPS settings => Disable Double Post Prevention => Yes

[Jay-MOB]

Hey i got a problem so far with my style, my style is very customized and it does not have the gradients and everything which it normally has on the homepage.

The gradients and all even work in firefox, so its not the microsoft specific gradients.

I bet you already have answered this question, but I don't know how to change it.

Thanks in advance.

[txsbmw]

1/ is like that by design. i'll be sure to reconsider post counts for 3.0. however theres no real way of me maintaining 'artificial' post counts should they be manually rebuilt.

I actually personally like it this way due to a lot of our features requiring so many posts before you can use the specific feature. I would much rather that posts count only in the actual forums instead of the groups that way more participation is done in the forums to up the post count instead of strictly within the groups.

But if it is ever possible to make that an option I would like to see it as an option. Not sure that it can actually be done though.

[Code Monkey]

The group limit function was removed for 3.0 i'm afraid.

Oh, say it aint so.

But if it is ever possible to make that an option I would like to see it as an option. Not sure that it can actually be done though.if implemented, it would definitely be an option because i definitely don't want it for my site.

Oh, say it aint so.sadly. the logic was that given the new joining/leaving options. it makes the function debunked in that if you join a group, then leave a group in order to join another group then you can just opt to not delete your posts. and then later on go back in order to reply to threads. but i'm as always interested in any counter arguments.

[Fearlessninja]

The group leader suddenly lost their permission to edit posts, any idea why?
Or rather the edit button disappeared, a direct link works.
And also admin edit works...and edit button appears.

[Jay-MOB]

I really do not know how to work this, maybe i am a plbkac case I am not sure.

So first of all, I was trying to make a group and that didn't work, as I can not find the options or they do not seem to work in how to moderate or allow a group to be made.

Secondly my style is custom its caprice from forumthemes.com, and my links are not coming up.
E.g. they are similar to the tabbed links in vbulletin.org (home, forums, articles, mods, styles, etc etc etc, and all of them are picture), but it wont work in groups, e.g. tabbed links do come with the style as pictures, however they only show up on the forum, but they will not come up on other pages outside the forum.
I have tried to make the links to the images absolute, and it did not show the picture for them at all not at groups, vbadvanced neither forum.

What can I do...?

ps. my website is not working today as I am having problem with my host.

cheers in advanced

to make a group make sure you have your usergroup permissions. a few things to check to make sure your installation went smoothly is to make sure your GRPS vBulletin Options are present and also that your GRPS admincp group is present.

I get two error when I upgraded from 2.012 to 2.013.

1. Group Leader can't get thread edit permission.
-- Edit button is disappeared. ( I doble checked user's permission.)
-- But Admin has edit permission.
-- GROUPS's general permission(Threads edit & delete) setting is not effect for user groups.
* Note : Users can edit thread when I re-imported just only 2.0.12 product-xml.
But it's mean, Users can just edit thread, General Permission Setting is still can not effect.

2. Group Leader get this error when delete all threads.
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /home/****/public_html/groups/viewthread.php on line 218
See attachment image.

3. I get this error with only Vbulletin(No other Mods).



And I get another problem with 2.013.

I can't get postbit.
Of course I didn't 'Use Legacy Postbit' option to 'Yes'(I set 'No').
And my VB postbit and postbit_legacy isn't edted.

How can I use postbit for GROUPS?

* My VB's default display is Postbit_legacy.

I'm a donated user...

Please fix this bug... :)

[Jay-MOB]

everything is working fine, just one problem, it tries to load the pictures on the groups page, and when i look at the broken links it shows

groups_noimage10 so pretty much the value can be between 1 or 10, or can it be more?

because I do need to know how many pictures i should create for that random numbering.

everything else is working!!!! thats such a great hack sabret00the!!!!!

Another question:

Is there any possibility to have show in the usercp which groups you are with? also in zoints profile hack?

Permission bug has fixed. lol !!!
Bug caused by 2.0.13 Product-xml code.
I can fixed when I 2.0.13 Product-xml file's plug-in code changed.

Now I got little & only one bug.
2. Group Leader get this error when delete all threads from own groups.
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /home/****/public_html/groups/viewthread.php on line 218

Is this right? I think this is not right...
What can I do for this bug?
Please help... :)

I have installed this mod to the groups folder on my site,and all my forum stuff is in the folder before (ie this mod is in a subfolder) but most of the images don't load, and links are http://www.facebang.co.uk/groups/private.php instead of http://www.facebang.co.uk/private.php.

I left the chdir line in config_grps.php as ../ , and the rewrite links as true, do these need changing to anything?!

[Iskib]

So what was fixed ?

What was wrong?

Why quarantined ?

I am not restoring this until I know it is fixed

[sabret00the]

Yes the wonderful world of vbulletin.org. quarantine your work and then leave you in no mans land in regards to your ability to deal with your installee's. the quarantine system is **** but the powers that be aren't interested in my opinion regarding the matter.

anyway there was apparently a potential XSS exploit in the group creation process. to be honest that's as much info as i was given. the exploit was fixed by cleaning the data with NOHTML types. the only file that was changed for the index.php and also viewthread.php to remove the array_merge error.

Is there any possibility to get a module for CMPS to show a random group?

[Fearlessninja]

when you say suddenly?

After the update.

[trackpads]

I am having a SQL error when I try to edit a group. For some reason the grpspermissions field was not added to the groups table.

I searched the plugin and couldnt find it, is this a mistake?

[trackpads]

Never mind :) :) Moron alert...

[sabret00the]

Is there any possibility to get a module for CMPS to show a random group?
i don't use vBadvanced CMPS so i'm afraid i won't be making the module. if a third party wants to, they can. i encourage modifications and add-on's.

[anstosser]

Hey,

I try to install, but i just see a white page...

I guess, that i´ve uploaded the files wrong...
- forums is uploaded to "domain/forums/"
- groups is uploaded to "domain/forums/"

I tried to copy it to domain-root, but then i get a database error when installing...

What did i wrong??
Thx Alex

[trackpads]

Very nice hack, had some time to look at it last night.

In the future would it be possible to allow the group leaders to choose an image during group creation? Then in the group listings they could use the image next to their name as a group avatar per se.

Also, What gallery do you use? Any plans on possibly adding gallery support?

Thanks!

-Jason

[Jay-MOB]

Is there any chance in telling an newbie in what would be required to show in a module or externally?

It would be cool to have a random group showing in a vba cmps.

I am also trying to get a zoints block for this if it is possible. That would just be the tip of the iceberg.

E.g. as the groups are being shown in the usercp, the same could be shown in the zoints userprofiles!

But your hack is already among the greatest sabret00the!!!

[Jay-MOB]

BTW is there any way to have custome pictures for the groups instead of the 3 pictures which are supplied with it?

group leaders will be able to choose group avatars in future but not during the group creation process. though that's not a bad idea so might implement that later down the line of development.

i really don't have zoints or vbadvanced cmps installed so i'm not sure what you'd have to do. i'll try and throw in an easier means of grabbing info from the groups for 3.0

[sabret00the]

BTW is there any way to have custome pictures for the groups instead of the 3 pictures which are supplied with it?
not in 2.x version. It will be present in 3.x

[sabret00the]

in the admincp, there will be a group on the left for GRPS groups. you do it via that.

[sabret00the]

ah also need to know how to change random pics on every group :)
you can only swap the random pictures and that would be by replacing them manually on your server. keeping the same filename structure.

[sabret00the]

GENERAL UPDATE: Development slowed a whole lot for various different reasons and i missed my target to take 3.0 to beta. Development has now sped up once more. However i'm not quite at a stage as to give another projected ETA for either beta, RC or Gold. Should i get back into the swing of things i'll try and sort that out for you all.

To give you some idea of where i'm at. Most of the front end functionality is now complete. I'm going to finish off the posting type stuff (viewing threads, making posts, editing posts, making new threads) next (most of that is done, but alas i'm tweaking and that might have a knock on effect.

The next port of call will then be the back-end. I'm really wanting to make the link rewriting and automated, graceful, professional and GUI driven. In it's current form 3.x using an XML to do link lookups and replacements and so the onus on me will be to make sure that's easily editable via the admincp.

After that i'm then onto the admincp in whole. Just basically making new versions of the current pages that encompass the new functionality. This step may actually come after the beta (well the depth of it anyway) so i know exactly what users may want to edit.

From there, it's about tighter integration. People have requested RSS's (not sure what you'd all want them to show. Answers greatly appreciated) and search integration. The latter is my preference and could be the key to making most of you happy in one swoop, so one eye is one that from now.

Then i guess we're onto would be the installer. Thus far i've had a lot of complaints about the lack instructions, installer. So i'm going to make that a lot easier on everyone and basically wrap it all up in a pretty little bun.

After all that i'm going to move onto tweaking the gallery images. I'm considering cropping resized thumbnails to make them uniform in size instead of just resizing them and leaving so much to variance. However i've not decided yet. But alas this will probably definitely come after beta.

Your only real enemy for progress in regards to 3.0 is paid work. Given the time of year, it's excellent to have a little extra in my pocket so i'm always on the lookout as far as that goes. but it's a fairly straight forward process right now and most, if not all of my stresses in regards to technical problems holding this up are in the past.

Anything you feel i might've forgotten, feel free to open up for discussion. For all of those waiting for 3.0 and showing support as a few of you have. I'm really grateful and i really hope to make you happy with 3.0. Though i bet you, i get a wave of complaints due to the fact that i move away from vBulletin's way of handling things on quite a few different aspects of 3.0. For some it's bad, for me, it's about adding it's own presence and hopefully it'll be a direction that vBulletin takes, but ultimately i feel it's best for the product in the long run.

i am having this problems and i don't understand what i've done wrong

Admin you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

added modifications to code (including in config_gprs)
added files

runned the installer
Are the groups turned on? YES

i have my forums in the root and i acces the groups thru www.domain.com/groups and my forum thru www.domain.com

also having some issues with the template for the groups (aint the one with the one i am using on my forums) any tip?

Also cant rilly understand where to find the relevant input box....
you may notice that the smilies and posticons are not working, you will have to edit them individually and prefix them with your forums path. i.e. images/smilies/smilie1.gif BECOMES http://www.yoursite.com/forums/images/smilies/smilie1.gif

In order to do this, please go to your admincp, find the relevant input box and prefix the text in said book with the url to your forums.

Great Hack, sabret00the!! :up:

Does this Great Hack Work With vBulletin 3.6.7 ?? :confused:

I can see them Working in you Web Site with vBulletin 3.6.8, so I guess it would work fine with vB 3.6.7!! Is that Correct?? :confused:

My Best Regards, sabret00the!! ;)

:)

[inciarco]

Ummm, there is just one line : chdir("../forums/");

My directory structure looks like:

/ <= the domain points to
/forum <= inside is the vBulletin
/forum/forums <= the 1st Folder of the Addon
/forum/groups <= the 2nd one...

So I tried to run:
http://www.mydomain.com/forum/groups/tools/grps_installer.php

What is the right way to configure the config file?
chdir("../forums/");
chdir("../../forums/");
chdir("/forum/forums/");
or the complete path since the Serverroot? (/var/kunden/webs/test/......)

Or should I upload everything to another separated folder? :confused:

Thanks again :up:

In case the Hack will be Used in the "groups" folder inside the folder of the forums like "forums" (ROOT/forum/groups/), the "/tools/grps_installer.php" should have the Sentence in the file "/INCLUDES/config_grps.php":

chdir("../");

I think that the option

chdir("../forums/");

should be used when "groups" is Installed in the same level that the "forums" Folder, where the vBulletin Forums are Installed, like (ROOT/groups/), in the file "/INCLUDES/config_grps.php"!!

So if you'll have the "groups" folder inside the "forums" folder, the use the first Option in the file "/INCLUDES/config_grps.php":

chdir("../");

My Best Regards!! :up:

:)

[irishblue]

thanks for this great mod!

got a quick question, how do I add this to show correctly in the who's online list?
so it will show user is "Viewing Groups".

I recently noticed that group members including leaders can only reply via the quick reply box. If they click on "New Reply" or "go advanced" in the quick reply box, upon submission this error shows:

username, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.


However if simply using the quick reply box, it works.

Hey. Great hack...but at my Groups Commune...users cannot edit their own posts. I checked the permissions a couple of times. I allowed the usergroup to edit their own posts at GPRS but there is no edit button.

Is there a code for that?

Sabret00the,
How many days do you need for GROUPs3.0?

[Elenna]

Many thanks for this, Sabre!

I have to honestly say (sappy testimonial warning) that this mod will completely change the "tone" of my web site. My site has become a "complaint department" because it lacked distinct areas for members to focus their energy and boredom. With the fresh wipe of my site and the addition of your wonderful mod, people will have 'clubs' to belong to and focus their attention on community building, instead of bashing. Based on how central my site has become to our lives and others' (it is a subdivision web site for where we live), it will help change our offline life for the better as well.

Thanks again!! I'm sure that most bugs have been reported in the 130 pages of posts, but in case my members find any more, I'll let you know :)

[Elenna]

I have just a quick question, I hope someone might be able to help me...

In the Add my groups to UserCP plugin, it looks like New Post counts are supposed to appear under the group name/image in UserCP. It doesn't look like it's doing that for me... did I miss a configuration option?

Oops - one more 'bug' (this really might be me lol), the browse groups and the 'latest group activity' sideblock on the Groups main page had my alt1 and alt2 colors alternating like they should; however, it was also throwing in black in there as a cell color, so some things were difficult to read.

I manually edited the templates to just display the cell background as white instead of alternating.

Thanks again!! And happy late birthday Sabre!

[Elenna]

How do you join a group? It seems dumb, but I can't seem to find a Join button anywhere...

When viewing a Group, there is a Group Options drop-down menu on the upper-right. There is a Join (or Leave) option there.

If you don't see it, ensure that your usergroup is allowed to join groups.

[Mum]

Is there a 'new posts' function in this yet? I posted about it a few months back, but haven't seen a response.

[Elenna]

Mum,

No, I haven't seen a New Posts feature. I did, though, modify the plugin that displays Groups in your UserCP to show "New Posts" if there are new posts.

If that would be helpful, let me know, and I'll post my modification (it is very simple/rudimentary).

[Mum]

So it lists the Groups New Posts? Or just a Group name if it has a New Post?

[Elenna]

It shows "New Posts" under the group's name if there are new posts.

Unfortunately I haven't found a way to list the new posts in the groups, just to note if there is new activity.

[2bad4dad]

Elenna, I'd be interested in your hack. In exchange I could offer a completey rewritten admincp module to manage most aspects of the groups in your system from one central place ;) Also, I might be able to hack the GPRS code to incorporate your code so that New Posts will show up in GRPS, too - depending on how your hack works, that is.

[Elenna]

It's not really my hack - I just modified the Plugin that came with it to show "New Posts" under the group names in UserCP. I think it was supposed to show the number of new posts, but (for whatever reason) it wasn't doing that.

Here is my modified "GRPS: Group Activity In User CP (15 Newest)" plugin - I made changes near the bottom, where it deals with the New Posts section. You'll need to enter Plugin Manager and paste this over the existing text.

I have tried to get this to display in a VBACMPS page, but with no luck.

Any word on GRPS 3.0 or is it getting discontinued because of 3.7 Groups extension?

[sabret00the]

Any word on GRPS 3.0 or is it getting discontinued because of 3.7 Groups extension?
right now i have no idea. there's a lot of innovations regarding the way that the forums work and i feel that 3.0 can do a lot of work in taking forums forward especially in terms of usability but who wants to continue development on such a large hack which hardly anyone will use given that the alternative is a stock option?

[irishblue]

problem resolved with the new version! thanks!

[nike.stars]

i've been trying this on my local server using freshly installed vbulletin:
- the forum is in www.domain.com/vbulletin/
- the groups is in www.domain.com/vbulletin/groups
- i edited the grps_config.php to "../"
- the instalation is success with "Done" message
- i've already activated the GRPS via admin CP

still i need further advice, i've everything in the install.txt correctly but i have still have some problem:
- after finishing the instalation, is there any changes on the forum home?
- how do i access the groups beside entering www.domain.com/vbulletin/groups ?
- if i access that URL, i have an error that identify me doesn't have permissions to access that page, what permissions is this?

Thanks

Actually your mod is more useful than the vb 3.7 build in social groups. In 3.7 the users can't create threads on their groups and that is a strong feature to give long life to the users groups. Do you think that vb 3.7 will add that feature?

SOMEONE HELP! ASAP

Aur - it doesn't look like the phrases were loaded in correctly, based on the screenshot. the *[]* usually happens when a phrase wasn't loaded, or a file wasn't copied to the correct place.

Is there something else that isn't working in the ACP? It looks normal to me, from the screenshot you gave.

After 2 days and a lot of stress, I finally got this installed. It also took a lot of trials and edits and figuring out what the heck each error was, but I got it. Great mod!

I think your first problem can be fix by this edit.

admincp --> Groups --> General setting --> Number Of Random Images :3

You can change the number as you want.
But the number must be same you have images.
The number you can set whatever you want.

FTP : forums --> images --> grps --> grps_noimage_1.gif ~ grps_noimage_3.gif

Example)
Number Of Random Images :5
FTP : forums --> images --> grps --> grps_noimage_1.gif ~ grps_noimage_5.gif
-----------------------------------------

And I think your second problem is not GRPS problem.
You need edit your Vbulletin Option --> Site Name / URL / Contact Details.


Sorry my English.... :)

Hi!

I have the same problem. Pluin installed and everything worked fine. After editing two group categories i can't access the groups page anymore and the software tells me that i don't have permission to access groups.

How to get out of this?

[fattony69]

How do you change the main description and picture. It doesn't go well with my forum.

Has anyone using this mod upgraded to vb 3.7? If so, has there been any conflict or issue with the vb 3.7 groups and this groups hack? I know the group posts won't transfer, of course.. just wondering if it upgraded okay, though...

[xboxliveclans]

I need help for GRPS 2.0.14. I just bought this forum (http://www.xboxliveclans.com) and the main business is built on GRPS. Everything works fine but I found I can't edit or delete groups. Everything time in admincp, I type in the group id in "edit" or "delete" link and click "find". It will show "retraiving you now..." then turn to a blank page..

Please help... Thanks.,

I have nen problem with the version 3.7 Beta 4. If I click on the link (groups/index.php), am I in the groups if I then in the Navbar on main entrance zb click stands before portal groups?? So anstat portal.php stands there groups/portal.php and this is with all other on the left also in such a way. ... in which can lie this? Excuse for my English... Come from Germany

[gettingbetter]

Hi there,

This looks like an awesome mod. I would like to know if it is compatible with vb 3.6.8, or if anyone has installed it and run into any iffy spots. Thanks! :)

[Tyran1]

So a minced meat is, actually, brilliantly, however, here there seem to be some probleme....

[gettingbetter]

I've followed the instructions to the letter, uninstalled and reinstalled following the instructions to a pinpoint again, and still the ROOT/groups/index.php page comes up blank. I don't even see any of the template edits that indicate the Groups are enabled anywhere on the main forum site.

I've tried changing the parallel forums settings and rebuilding bitfields. Nothing is working.

What could be the problem here? I have vbSEO installed, don't know if that would interfere. My forum is installed on /ROOT and groups is located at /ROOT/groups.

Update: It looks like this mod is incompatible with vBulletin's blog modification. My blog pages go blank when GRPS is installed. When I uninstalled it, my blog pages reappeared again. Shame it doesn't work or conflicts. I would have liked this mod to be active on my page.

[christi78]

try this setting when installing ../../ROOT/ as that is what worked for me. I have had to change alot to make this work but it is a great mod. I wonder if 3.0 is comming out any time soon. :)

Okay, but where specifically do I put the ../../ROOT/ ? In the grps_config.php, or elsewhere?

Thats too bad I cant get this installed, was gonna nominate for mod of the month and give it 5 stars :(

[christi78]

Yes that is where you set the ../../Root. What is your site and I will look at it if you still can not get it to work.

What issue are you having I do not see a post from you. I know this is not my Mod but I have reworks about 30% of it to work on my site and still redoing some code so I can get revenue sharing and other things to work 100% but it is a great mod!

[Theoldwiz]

What is the SQL error you are getting? did you try running the uninstalla nd the reinstall?

[Theoldwiz]

I jsut noticed the credit linked to a spam domain, odd

[Merriweather]

It's been a while since I've been here... it looks like all of the changes have only been bug fixes? Was the ability to receive email updates of new posts ever added?

Sabe ~ Are you still working on this one?

[EliteBam]

I'm having a url problem. like i'm in http://www.mysite.com/groups but when i click my logo. to go back to the main forum it takes me to http://www.mysite.com/groups/forum.php then takes. me too a 404 page not found, anyway to fix this?

Sorry folks. I haven't been online for a little while due to my computer blowing up. Then having issues with my router and then just having too much on my plate. I'll have a look back through this thread ASAP, as i understand there's a few issues that need resolving.

Some people asked about 3.0, i'm planning on completing it. I'm actually not that far from getting it to beta. I thought that ages ago but i basically want it to be feature set when it goes to beta instead of knowing i have a lot more work to do.

Right now i'm working on the ability to merge groups and the search functions. I honestly can't remember if i posted any screens from 3.0 or not. If i didn't, let me know and i'll post some today. Anyway, i'll look at all of these outstanding issues in an hour.

PS. I've completely rewritten basically everything, so now you guys will also have the option on how your navbar looks whether SITE NAME > FORUMS > GROUPS or SITE NAME > GROUPS or FORUM > GROUPS or just GROUPS. (thought i'd mention that since i saw an issue with navbar above).

PPS. the GRPS 3.0 installer completely updates all style settings, smilies and post icons itself now.

1. there are none.

2. you'd need to set up a link. i never done so because i didn't know whether users would want a link on their navbar as a subsidary of the forums or in the site navigation.

3. have you set your usergroup permissions?

It would appear you overwrote some of the existing xml. I suggest you reupload a virgin cpnav_vbulletin.xml

in your functions_grps.php find

add a new plugin to the grps_rewrite_links hook with this as the content
$find[] = 'groups/portal.php';
$replace[] = 'groups/index.php';
