GRPS: Groups Commune 2.0.x

[sabret00the]

Welcome ladies and gentleman, this is the release thread for GRPS, an interactive groups commune. I hope you enjoy this release and i sincerely hope it provides everything to your community in which you're looking for.

What is it?
It's a groups commune. The original idea is that forums with lots and lots of forums on the front-page suck, as a result i thought most of the conversation was rather obscure in regards to what the forums were trying to achieve, so it'd be nice to have that all going on elsewhere, not detracting away from the content and stopping your front-page from looking like a car crash.

Special Thanks to harry1951, without his help testing and his recommendations, this would've never ended up the way it did.

Honestly, i can't think of anything else, if you appreciate the work gone into this mod, please donate (in GBP) https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2007/09/3.gif (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=sabret00the%40yahoo%2eco%2euk&item_name=GRPS%20Appreciation&item_number=GRPS%2d00001&no_shipping=2&no_note=1&tax=0&currency_code=GBP&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF&charset=UTF%2d8) (right click open in new window)

PLEASE DO NOT JOIN MY SITE IN A BID TO PLAY WITH IT OR HAVE A LOOK AT IT FURTHER, MY SITE IS SOMETHING I VALUE FOR BEING SOMEWHERE I CAN CHILL AT, IT'S NOT A TEST SUITE OR DEMO!

[sabret00the]

Reserved.

MISC PIECE OF INFO:
The code has spanned an awful lot of time and i've learned alot since the core of this was developed, i'm hoping to recode it around PHP5 and using classes and all that lark soon. It's simply a matter of time and how many resources i can dedicate to this, sadly i'm not Jelsoft, i'm just one man on my tod.

PROBLEMS:
Please note that although the general perception is one of plenty of problems. any genuine problems have been fixed and will continue be. most problems are down to PLBCAK (http://acronyms.tfd.com/PLBCAK). Seriously. In the most respectful of ways ofcourse. Mostly because it's my fault and my instructions, i sometimes forget that i have to KISS (http://acronyms.tfd.com/KISS).

GROUP LEADER ICON NOT SHOWING UP:
Only do this, if it is an isolated problem, in forums/includes/function_grps.php find:
$raw_groupinfo['leaderavatar'] = "<img src=\"" . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/" . fetch_avatar_url($raw_groupinfo['leaderid']) . "\" alt=\"Group Leader: " . $raw_groupinfo['leadername'] . "\" />";

and replace with
$raw_groupinfo['leaderavatar'] = "<img src=\"" . fetch_avatar_url($raw_groupinfo['leaderid']) . "\" alt=\"Group Leader: " . $raw_groupinfo['leadername'] . "\" />";

FORUMS IN SUBDOMAIN?
I had a play with getting this to work and i couldn't, thus i'd suggest throwing it into your subdomain http//yourforums.yoursite.com/groups.

MALFORMED AVATAR IN POSTBITS?
Go to your vBulletin options and replace the contents of Strings To Find In "viewthread.php" with:
image.php, src="customavatars/, src="images/smilies/, member.php, private.php, search.php, sendmessage.php, profile.php, <!-- / post #, imwindow,400,200); return false;">, images/avatars/

and the contents of Strings To Replace In "viewthread.php" with:
$vbulletin->options['bburl']/image.php, src="$vbulletin->options['bburl']/customavatars/, src="$vbulletin->options['bburl']/images/smilies/, $vbulletin->options['bburl']/member.php, $vbulletin->options['bburl']/private.php, $vbulletin->options['bburl']/search.php, $vbulletin->options['bburl']/sendmessage.php, $vbulletin->options['bburl']/profile.php, <hr style="visibility: hidden; padding: 0.25em 0 0 0; margin: 0; line-height: 0em" />{\n\n}<!-- / post #, grps_imwindow,400,200,'$vbulletin->options['bburl']'); return false;">, $vbulletin->options['bburl']/images/avatars/save and that's you sorted :)

Installing now.

[sabret00the]

Sweet, someone cares already ;)

[Jei]

Long Awaited! Installing Now
Thanks a ton Saber :D

[Luke Beale]

Installing now

[toolblast]

YAYYYYYY! Thanks man! Finally this is released and it looks AMAZING.

*drools*

[Roxie]

I'm having issues w/ the config file. Are we to edit anything?

[Luke Beale]

i have got an error when i try creating a group and i have looked at the "vbgrps" doesnt exist and i see that in the install file it does not tell the database to make that table.

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.0:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO vbgrps(title, description, catid, approved, leaderid, membercount)
VALUES ('test', 'test', 1, '0', 3, 1);

This looks amazing

It's not something that I can use with my site but I appreciate the effort you put into it sabret00the,, Great job

[Jei]

i have got an error when i try creating a group and i have looked at the "vbgrps" doesnt exist and i see that in the install file it does not tell the database to make that table.

Import the Product File called "product-groupscommune" in ROOT to install the database/tables.

[Luke Beale]

Import the Product File called "product-groupscommune" in ROOT to install the database/tables.

I have all ready done that and all that does is add some stuff to the admin panel

[sabret00the]

Luke, my mouse batteries are dead, so i can't really sort this out properly but here you go, this will fix the problem in the meanwhile.

Replace this with your groups/index.php and it should fix the problem. sadly i won't be able to do a full check for similar problems until the morning when my mouse has finished charging.

[Roxie]

I get errors when I run the installer. I am thinking it's the way I have the config file set. My forums are in a subdomain. Any ideas how to set it?

[tazB.ca]

This Is Real Nyce

[DementedMindz]

sabret00the very nice work. This will be a Mod o.t. Month

[sabret00the]

Roxie, if i'm not mistaken (or atleast out of touch, your subdomain should be set up as a directory elsewhere on your server, if that's correct, then you just need to find it and then it should all config ok.

on one of my servers i had the subdomains set up in /home/sitename/public_html/~subs/SUBNAME

on one of my current servers i have /home/sitename/public_html/subs/SUBNAME

not sure if that helps or not.

[Jei]

A minor bug saber, there's a missing phrase when you change the category values in the admin panel

"Could not find phrase 'grps_cats_successful_editing'."

[Snake]

Cool! I've been waiting for this. Thanks! :)

Yes my subdomain is also a directory.

I set my config as
../daboard/

and

/daboard/

and I get these errors


Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/dizzam/public_html/daboard/groups/tools/grps_installer.php on line 45

Warning: main(./global.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/dizzam/public_html/daboard/groups/tools/grps_installer.php on line 65

[sabret00the]

if you access your board via the folder do you still get the error roxie?

i.e. www.yoursite.com/daboard/

[Roxie]

Yes. You think that error is related to how I have the config set up?

[kg4mxz]

very nice... as for the subdomain thing... my groups folder is inside my forums folder

[sabret00the]

@ Roxie: most definately so.

you should have something like this
http://www.dizzam.com/daboard/
http://www.dizzam.com/groups/

and your config should read
<?php

// ## Changes Directory so it can accesss vBulletin IF we are outside the forums folder, if not this is not nessary ##
chdir("../daboard/");

// ## Set's the base root directory back to the forums for all images ##
$img_forums = "/daboard/";

// ## Set GRPS to rewrite links and images automatically
$rewrite_links = TRUE;

?>

then it should work even on your subdomain.

[DivisionByZero]

i had the same errors trying to install it (gotta keep up with the competition)

globalize(); does not exist in any of the files. not even commented out. reupload all of the files.

[sabret00the]

if your forums are in the site root then your config should have something likechdir('../');

blank pages are down to configuration mismatches or templates not being installed.

[sabret00the]

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr help please ready to click uninstall.... Directions are not very clear either
if you wanna click uninstall go ahead, but at 5am in the morning when i'm firmly in bed making silly threats i won't see for atleast another five hours anyway is rather pointless.

[sabret00the]

i had the same errors trying to install it (gotta keep up with the competition)
the same errors as what? who? bada_bing?

[Luke Beale]

Luke, my mouse batteries are dead, so i can't really sort this out properly but here you go, this will fix the problem in the meanwhile.

Replace this with your groups/index.php and it should fix the problem. sadly i won't be able to do a full check for similar problems until the morning when my mouse has finished charging.

Well now when i try to create a group it takes me from /forum/groups/index.php to /groups/index.php, so it removes the /forum/ bit in the URL

[sabret00the]

Well now when i try to create a group it takes me from /forum/groups/index.php to /groups/index.php, so it removes the /forum/ bit in the URL
yup sadly it wasn't designed for use in the forums directory, you may have to edit your templates to reflect the location.

what do you mean when you try and create a group? do you mean when you click "create group"? is that from the group tools menu or from the groups/index.php ?

[DivisionByZero]

the same errors as what? who? bada_bing?no. bada_bing just likes to complain :)

The installer is SO not mySQL 5.x friendly. I went through the installer code and ran the queries and setup the tables on my own.... rebuilt my bitfields and all was good.

Great product! I think we should work together on a souped-up commercial version :) Your design and theory + my NNTP and SMTP gateway can make one good product.

[Milad]

your ad-on need some improving
For example:
you ask us to edit the file ROOT/forums/includes/xml/cpnav_vbulletin.xml
but you can add a file and call it for ex: cpnav_groupscommune.xml

and it contains the following
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<navgroups product="groupscommune">

<navgroup phrase="moderation" displayorder="70">
<navoption displayorder="70">
<phrase>moderate_groups</phrase>
<link>grps_moderate.php?do=groups</link>
</navoption>
</navgroup>

</navgroups>

then add it in the directory: ROOT/forums/includes/xml/

and you can include your installation and unistallation script in the product xml file.

and you have to use the table prefix in the whole script mysql queries.

I advise you to use the Advanced Product Manager, you can find it in this forum, it will help you very much.

I will click install to track your product, but won't install it untill it follows the vbulletin ad-ons standards.

[Lionel]

Looks good. You forgot to include the function grps_rewrite_links

[Lionel]

The index page throws an error and says that function does not exists. It does though.

Also in admin_cateditor (i believe) you forgot to add "as icon" in the table join, so that throws a table does not exists error.

[sabret00the]

Thanks for the help though and good mod!

i thought we were talking about the normal groups files, ok if it's an install file problem, go to your groups/tools/grps_installer.php and manually enter the chdir stated above. i'll update the instructions after the football.

leave your config as is, having just checked, it's found your global.php

[Neal-UK]

ok, installed now and will play around later with it.

Try it like this (no trailing slash)

chdir("/home/radscan/public_html");


This worked for me.

[bada_bing]

from what? 3.0.x or RC1 to RC1b?
No My question was for upgrading from RC1 to RC1b but what I did was reuploaded all the files and installed the plugin with override to yes

[bada_bing]

globalize(); does not exist in any of the files. not even commented out. reupload all of the files.
sabret00the

I have uploaded all the files again and uninstalled the plugin and re-installed the plugin and same thing? I also tried to run the install file but I got an error because the tables exist already in the database..

Any other ideas

[bada_bing]

if you wanna click uninstall go ahead, but at 5am in the morning when i'm firmly in bed making silly threats i won't see for atleast another five hours anyway is rather pointless.
Hehe sorry man I just was up late trying to get this to work... Was a bit axious..

[DivisionByZero]

for everyone still having problems, just run the queries by hand... thats what I did and it works fine for me.

[sabret00the]

New Zip:
RC2 Released.

This release fixes some problems regarding table prefixes and also clarifies the installation instructions.

In order to upgrade working installations, just replace the files, no need to reinstall the plugin at all.

Anybody having problems with the config and it's failure to find your forums, please try using the full path.

[Oddjob]

Got this working correctly. Sweet mod.

Only problem is that im using a custom style and all my images dont work. Where and how do i fix this?

[sabret00the]

Your images in your css or your stylevars?

[tako]

i have my forum at root .com/ and your groups at .com/groups/
I installed css prefix plugin.

Now I have two problems

1. post icons and smilies (I thought you mention something in install.txt but couldn't get it work.)

2. Group reader avatar shows up but newest members avatar doesn't.

Thanks

[Oddjob]

Your images in your css or your stylevars?

Yea...stylevars, i got it fixed....all perfect now.......except for my avatars. Cant seem to get them working on there.

[sabret00the]

i have my forum at root .com/ and your groups at .com/groups/
I installed css prefix plugin.

Now I have two problems

1. post icons and smilies (I thought you mention something in install.txt but couldn't get it work.)

2. Group reader avatar shows up but newest members avatar doesn't.

Thanks
1. you definately have the full url to images set up via your full style options?

2. what's the url shown to the dead avatar images?

[Milad]

i had the option too, i chose not too.
You can skip some steps if you choose to.

why? it's a major addition, in short, i don't want to.

These are the standards

why?

It makes your product managing easist rather than the default vbulletin manager, try it.

Thank you.

This seems very popular ^^ I will have to try this out later. Nice work.

ok i'm a retard, i got this installed, but i can't figure out how to access it lol...

did you install the plugin?

[cd1986]

Just installed RC2, but when i go to the groups index page (i have the groups folder in my forum directory - the root directory) all the links have /groups/ missing. Any ideas what the problem could be? I don't much fancy having to edit all the templates to include /groups/ in the urls. :p

For example, instead of mysite.com/groups/browse.php?c=2 i get mysite.com/browse.php?c=2

[hippsta]

did you install the plugin?

yeppers, sure did...

[.Tim]

yeppers, sure did...

I'm having the same problem.

[hippsta]

could the fact that i have VB 3.6.0 have any bearing?

sadly people installing this in their forums directory or root wasn't something i forsaw, thus sadly you're going to have to edit the templates, i apologise for that. a quick method would be to make all the changes in the products xml file using find and replaces of the file names and then just overwriting the existing installation.

[sabret00the]

yeppers, sure did...
please check that the templates are present.

[sabret00the]

I'm having the same problem.
please check to make sure the templates are present.

[sabret00the]

[soletrader]

Anyone have a live demo that I can see? Thank you

[hippsta]

please check to make sure the templates are present.

They are, "groups_browse" through "groups_usercp_groupsbit"

[sabret00the]

They are, "groups_browse" through "groups_usercp_groupsbit"
two questions:
the templates definately cascaded to your default style?

and

what is the styleid or your default style?

[Neal-UK]

Since the update, the links now point to the wrong place so I can't access the group listings.

Running with the 3.6.1 forum in the root of my site - couldn't get the installer to work so I populated the database manually.
Hardcoded with the full paths, checked that the templates had updated my default (just using the standard default, at this stage as its a clean install), double-checked that everything in the installation instructions had been followed, checked every post here... and now I am getting these errors...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_no_permission() in <domain>\htdocs\forum\includes\functions_grps.php on line 387

Fatal error: Call to a member function clean_array_gpc() on a non-object in <domain>\htdocs\forum\groups\index.php on line 82

Any clues?

it appears to be looking for your files in a forum directory where as if you're running your forums in the root, then your errors should look like this

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_no_permission() in <domain>\htdocs\includes\functions_grps.php on line 387

Fatal error: Call to a member function clean_array_gpc() on a non-object in <domain>\htdocs\groups\index.php on line 82

But i'm pretty sure that's a config issue (server) and thus i'm incorrect.

are you not getting any errors regarding problems finding the global.php?

[Neal-UK]

what links?

The category listings, etc...

[Benj]

ive got it working one question. in the config file ive specified the img url as "../" but my images still come up with groups/images/misc etc etc any ideas ?

might also be an idea to link to the template varible admincp instead of actualy linking to admincp for thouse of us who have renamed our admincp :D

cheers

Please set your images as per your style options in the admincp.

[soletrader]

I would like to receive some help running the installer.

Is this the line I need to edit?

chdir('../../forums/');

Also if my forum is located in /home/sole/public_html/forums, do I need to fix the coding to

chdir('/home/sole/public_html/forums'); ??

Also how do I edit config_grps.php? Sorry for these newbie questions. I am not familiar with coding. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

How do I delete a group?

Also, when I leave a group I get the following error:

print_standard_error(...)

standard_error(fetch_error(...))

Any suggestions?

Having just checked, i appear to have completely forgot that option, despite confirming it was present a couple weeks back, give me a couple hours and i'll add that ability in RC3. I'm going to take a nap first.

[soletrader]

Thank you sabret00the. If you could look into the error message as well, I would appreciate it. I love this hack :)

[sabret00the]

good thing you told me about that again, i would've missed that. ok that'll be fixed with RC3, anything else that anyone finds or any issues that people have, nows the time to post them. i'm not looking to make two releases today.

[sabret00the]

also folks, please note that the instant email notification is being cooky and thus if i'm late to return to this thread it's because it's not told me about there being anything to return too, however i'm checking the thread every now and again anyway.

[Neal-UK]

i have no idea why that's happening, i'm looking into it, please bare with me.

IT'S NOT THIS HACK, IT'S ZOINTS SEO!

Sorry about that, your hack is fine it's just zoints seo making a mess of links on added forum features.

[Benj]

what the navbar template or the groups php file ?

[sabret00the]

what the navbar template or the groups php file ?
nope, if you're having problems with the groups/browse.php then please open groups/browse.php in your editor come in here and post the contents between [php] tags.

[hippsta]

two questions:
the templates definately cascaded to your default style?

and

what is the styleid or your default style?

Ok I'm using 'Default Style' styleid:1, the templates are present, and presumably cascaded, however i'm also using Zoints i noticed Neal said his problem was with that.... Thanks for all the help btw

Sorry to make you do this but could you try disabling all the plugins you have running and letting me know if you still have the problem please.

[hippsta]

i disabled all the other products/plugins.. navigated to /groups/, /groups/index.php, /groups/groups.php, /groups/viewgroups.php and its still a blank-page with Done. at the bottom... Are those the right things to nav to?

yup yup, that's fine, please reupload all of the files (not including the product xml file) and then try again.

[ronoxQ]

Two things:

1) My directory for groups is blank. http://oasisforums.omegaseye.com/groups/

2) It really could use integration with vbPlaza.

[ericgtr]

Please set your images as per your style options in the admincp.
In RC3 are you going to resolve the path issue? No matter what I set it to in the config file all of my forum image paths still have /groups in it.

[FleaBag]

Fantastic hack! Looks like I'm going to have some trouble with the image paths too. Installing now...

EDIT: Yup. :(

Fantastic hack! Looks like I'm going to have some trouble with the image paths too. Installing now...

EDIT: Yup. :(
fleabag, have you tried using the full path to your forums in the config?

[ericgtr]

I have personally changed it to every variation I can think of, I got it to work fine for the child directory but can't get it to work at all for images.

So instead of the default which would be this for example:

http://www.guitarblast.com/images/kirsch/misc/navbits_start.gif


It still ends up like ths:

http://www.guitarblast.com/groups/images/kirsch/misc/navbits_start.gif

[FleaBag]

That worked! I'd already read about that earlier today... D'oH!

[sabret00the]

not being sure what the issue is, i think it's it's an end-user thing, but i'll find out for sure. please upload this file to your groups directory, load the page in your browswer (www.yoursite.com/groups/test_stylevars.php) and then copy and paste the whole thing here.

[sabret00the]

Two things:

1) My directory for groups is blank. http://oasisforums.omegaseye.com/groups/

2) It really could use integration with vbPlaza.
1. the no permission page is showing for guests, you're however getting blank pages?

2. the queries are in place for uCS it wouldn't be hard for someone to release a vBplaza hack for it, it's just a matter of tweaking the queries.

[hippsta]

Ok that problem is solved.. ^.^ /cheer.. i AM a total 'tard lol!
it works for me like this in the config:

// ## Changes Directory so it can accesss vBulletin IF we are outside the forums folder, if not this is not nessary ##
chdir("/");

// ## Set's the base root directory back to the forums for all images ##
$img_forums = "http://www.mysite.com/";

except! every other time literally that i hit refresh on /groups/index.php.. the group image doesn't load... and just like most others, my style images; (gradients, table, alt-table) don't load at all.

Thank You for Your Time and Effort!

edit: i take back the 'literally' it just loaded 2 in a row ^.~

1) Whoops. Fixed that.

2) I hope somebody does...

[ericgtr]

Sure, these are all correct but I cannot get the $img_forums right no matter what, I've tried the actual URL as well as /home/public_html/mysite/images regardless of what I try it puts a /group before the images.

ok, the problem isn't down to the whole img_forums thing, in fact that's not even in RC3 at all.

you need to set your images in your admincp, in your style settings, change images/kirsch/attach => www.yoursite.com/forums/images/kirsch/attach

Okay, I put the full URL in the paths under the style options and the forum images are now working, thanks. I have a custom header and have to work out the paths to the images as they are not set in the style options. Also, my forum root is forum.php not index.php so my the link back to my forum says http://www.guitarblast.com/groups/forum.php, again we don't want groups in there.

Here is how my cofig is set:

chdir("/home/guitar/public_html");

sadly the forum thing in the navbar is not something i forsaw, in fact if it was upto me, the navbar would have the groups at the root and not the forums, however jelsoft :( :ermmm: ;) anyhoo to fix that you're gonna have to do a file edit.

in your ROOT/includes/functions_grps.php find

array(
// navbar replacements
'usercp.php',
and replace with

array(
// navbar replacements
'usercp.php',
'forum.php',

now find in the same file

array(
// navbar links
$vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/usercp.php',


and replace that with

array(
// navbar links
$vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/usercp.php',
$vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/forum.php',


now save the file and upload it and you're sorted.

[ronoxQ]

Never mind! Fixed!

Heh, it was the specialized JavaScript navbar I was using. Not your problem at all. ^_^

[hippsta]

if you change them to www.yoursite.com/images/buttons/ (that's an example) everything will work fine.

Thats what they are currently (can't have trailing slash) .. i tried /images/buttons which had the same effect..
http://www.mysite.com/images/xxxx returned even less images... like even the dropdown arrows and buttons were missing..
still no style or css on the pages tho..

that was how it was...

it does put in some style.. check here (http://www.hippsta.com/groups/), on the right where it says "Unity," and it puts in the dropdown menu arrows, and folder images...

but, the dropdowns have transparent backgrounds, and other obvious style strangeities are present..

BenJ it seems you're simply suffering the same problems as ericgtr and hippsta, please refer the help i provided for both of them.

[sabret00the]

Sorry lol i meesed up and didn't refresh the test_stylevar.php after changing it around..


that was how it was...

it does put in some style.. check here (http://www.hippsta.com/groups/), on the right where it says "Unity," and it puts in the dropdown menu arrows, and folder images...

but, the dropdowns have transparent backgrounds, and other obvious style strangeities are present..
Please refer to the last line or so of the install.txt, you'll have to install the plugin to fix your css.

BenJ it seems you're simply suffering the same problems as ericgtr and hippsta, please refer the help i provided for both of them.

im on about fixing my navbar links now you know that right ?

[hippsta]

SICK!
Thank You for all your Hard Work & Support, that did it lol..

I'm voting this MOD for MotM simply because, besides its complete usefulness, and almost necessity in any Fori on the Web.. The Author has worked tirelessly updating, debugging, and supporting it.

CHEERS to You!!

[sabret00the]

heh, ok i've caught up with your problem, please reupload the files, all except the product xml and the config and then let me know if the problem still exists.

CHEERS to You!!
glad you got it all working :)

[Elpie]

it appears to be looking for your files in a forum directory where as if you're running your forums in the root, then your errors should look like this

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_no_permission() in <domain>\htdocs\includes\functions_grps.php on line 387

Fatal error: Call to a member function clean_array_gpc() on a non-object in <domain>\htdocs\groups\index.php on line 82

But i'm pretty sure that's a config issue (server) and thus i'm incorrect.

are you not getting any errors regarding problems finding the global.php?

No, I was getting errors with finding the global.php but these were resolved when I hardcoded the full URL into config.

I still can't get it working, but I am not giving up! ;)

[sabret00the]

No, I was getting errors with finding the global.php but these were resolved when I hardcoded the full URL into config.

I still can't get it working, but I am not giving up! ;)
reupload all the files please elpie and then let me know if you're still getting this error.

make sure that your config features your full path and not your url.

i.e. /home/yoursite/public_html/forums/

as opposed to

http://www.yoursite.com/forums/

[ronoxQ]

Dang, I'm running into a problem.

Now the page works: http://oasisforums.omegaseye.com/groups/. However, when I try to make a group, I get linked to http://oasisforums.omegaseye.com/?do=creategroup, not http://oasisforums.omegaseye.com/groups/?do=creategroup. How do I change this?

[whitetigergrowl]

I'm using SQL and PHP versions 5x. I click on the moderate groups option and get a nice sql error saying it can't find the members database. Also, when I create a group...or try...it gives me a 404. The forums are in a subdirectory like this: www.website.com/forums

[Elpie]

Ok, I have clearly messed something up. I uploaded again, as suggested, checked paths, and now I can load the index.php without errors EXCEPT I am getting the blasted permissions denied message.
I am logged in as admin so what have I missed?

This is an improvement as I didn't get past errors before, so I am getting there. ;)

[bada_bing]

Awesome thanks sabret00the GRPS Groups working on my site
Site : www.seekingadultfriends.com
Groups: www.seekingadultfriends.com/groups/

A couple bugs still to be worked out but getting there.

[soletrader]

Hello sabret00the,

In your RC3, do you think you can enable guests to view groups as well?

[bada_bing]

Anyone figure out how to post the Newest Groups, MOst Popular Groups, Largest Groups on vbadvance as a new block ?

[toolblast]

Hi Bada_bing!

Your site is looking GREAT! I'll see if I can help you out with the vbadvance blocks as I'm interested as well in that.

[sabret00the]

Dang, I'm running into a problem.

I am not sure why your problem exists, is it literally just that link?

[sabret00the]

I'm using SQL and PHP versions 5x. I click on the moderate groups option and get a nice sql error saying it can't find the members database. Also, when I create a group...or try...it gives me a 404. The forums are in a subdirectory like this: www.website.com/forums
what's the exact database error? and what's the url or the 404?

[sabret00the]

Hello sabret00the,

In your RC3, do you think you can enable guests to view groups as well?
that's a usergroup permission problem, not a bug. please set your usergroup permissions to allow guests to view groups.

[JayJay]

Ok, I have clearly messed something up. I uploaded again, as suggested, checked paths, and now I can load the index.php without errors EXCEPT I am getting the blasted permissions denied message.

Go to your AdminCP -> Usergroup Manager

Once there, you can choose usergroups to give GPRS permissions to by clicking Edit Usergroup and scrolling down to the bottom :)

[sabret00the]

i'm just waiting on RonoxQ's feedback before i release RC3, this release will update one file (index.php), add a new file (grps_deleter.php) and fix the missing phrases from the admincp.

x

I also had a PM from someone wanting to translate the hack, and i'll reply here so as that all hack communities world-wide know the deal. if you'd like to translate the hack, i'm against it. however if you'd like to phrase the hack. that's a different story. if you're like to take the hard coded text, convert them to phrases (literally a copy and past job of which i'm bound to get round to sooner or later), you're allowed to do that, however i'll still only allow you to redistribute the phrases and not the full hack.

Ara-ara-ara, that sounds confusing :ermm:

but one image still appears like this

that pic doesn't work, but would i be right to assume that the problem is in regards to something like thead?

[Elpie]

Go to your AdminCP -> Usergroup Manager

Once there, you can choose usergroups to give GPRS permissions to by clicking Edit Usergroup and scrolling down to the bottom :)

Aha! I guess one should never assume admins have full permissions! Thanks JayJay.

It's working, although I have some links going to the wrong places (no biggie, I will get that sorted).

This is going to be just great on my forum. Thanks sabret00the.

:( nope no gradients work anywhere within groups

http://web.plugged.co.uk/groups/

also what template controls the box in my usercp. theres 2 if im not mistaken. the link to the groups in my usercp are wrong a simple template edit should fix this i think...

firstly my gradients dont work ! as you can see


secondly what templates control the box your hack places in usercp

[bada_bing]

Hi Bada_bing!

Your site is looking GREAT! I'll see if I can help you out with the vbadvance blocks as I'm interested as well in that.
Thank you toolblast.. a vbadvance hack would be nice

[sabret00the]

firstly my gradients dont work ! as you can see


secondly what templates control the box your hack places in usercp
ahhh now i get ya :)

the links are wrong? how (as in what are they pointing too? they're controlled via the plugin named "GRPS: Group Activity In User CP (15 Newest)". So sadly not a template at all.

Apologies for not understanding the problem the first time you asked.

As for your gradients, i never picked up on that due to how subtle they are and being locked out as a guest, having checked your forums, i think i know what you mean now.

In your admincp, find the gradients and then simply prefix with "/" and they should all start to work.

[bada_bing]

Couple of questions.

When I create a new group and its been moderated and the system throws all your subscribed groups in your memberinfo area what template do I go to fix the width size because since im using a custom style the table size is to big

[bada_bing]

Here is a snap shot of my question.

[ronoxQ]

I am not sure why your problem exists, is it literally just that link?

No, it's not. Sorry, that was just the only one I saw. It seems like every link is going to "\" instead of "\groups\". However, if I change it to "\groups\" in the config, I get an error on the \groups page.

Thanks for helping out! Sorry I'm causing this trouble.... :(

[sabret00the]

Here is a snap shot of my question.
the template is "groups_usercp_groupsbits"

[sabret00the]

No, it's not. Sorry, that was just the only one I saw. It seems like every link is going to "\" instead of "\groups\". However, if I change it to "\groups\" in the config, I get an error on the \groups page.

Thanks for helping out! Sorry I'm causing this trouble.... :(
can you post the contents of your config please?

[ronoxQ]

Here ya go!

NEW ZIP
Groups v2.0.0 RC3.zip: fix regarding inability to get to create groups page. updated simplified instructions, sadly still not cool html ones and also added ability to delete groups, delete categories and of course the menu options to get to these.

To upgrade simply replace all files except the config.

[soletrader]

Do I need to run the upgrade? Thanks

[sabret00the]

Do I need to run the upgrade? Thanks
no you don't. just replace the files execpt the ones stated and you're upto date.

[soletrader]

Okay... I noticed one problem. I still get the the line:

In the category -> groups description. Anyway to eliminate this?

[Neal-UK]

Get this when I try to leave a group after upgrade:

print_standard_error(...)
is now redundant. Instead, use
standard_error(fetch_error(...))

How do I go about uninstalling this, as in the changes it made when I ran the isntaller?

Think i'll leave this one a while as my head aches, lol

In group management, the state of Hide Group Image checkbox is not remembered

[daystorm]

Hello... I am having a couple of problems..

First the phrases are not being added in the admin panel. Is there a file I can go to see the phrases and add them manually?

Second, on the test group I made the group leader image is not showing up and when I click on my test thread, the image again is not showing up... Which files do I edit to change whatever links?

Thank you,
Ella

Try reinstalling the .xml file, i forgot that i updated with RC3. if the phrases are still missing report them here, but you can see them all in the xml file, you can open that in any browser or text file.

As for your group leader image, check the url of the image and report back here i'll tell you what action to take. sadly it's working on both my test site and live site so i have no idea how to fix this.

Groups v2.0.0 RC3c.zip: fix regarding showing an edit dateline of the 70's on group page, requires reinstalling the plugin.

if you're upgrading from 2.0.0 RC2 to 2.0.0 RC3 after overriding all files except the config file do I have to reinstall the plugin provided on the 2.0.0 RC3 folder?

You mention re-installing the xml file do you mean the plugin?

[Benj]

ahhh now i get ya :)

the links are wrong? how (as in what are they pointing too? they're controlled via the plugin named "GRPS: Group Activity In User CP (15 Newest)". So sadly not a template at all.

In your admincp, find the gradients and then simply prefix with "/" and they should all start to work.

sweet thats sorted. one last problem for me now. As i said in the usercp box thingy boby is linking to the wrong place.

instead of linking to

http://web.plugged.co.uk/groups/groups.php?g=10

it links to

http://www.plugged.co.uk/groups/groups.php?g=10

any ideas how i could change this ? maybe by editing the plugin...

BTW i nominated you for hack of the month ;)

[Lionel]

it is on my test board and my live board.

Weird. I just reinstalled and same thing still.

Also I can't find template groups_display_mainbit

[Lionel]

How can I get the proper links for the postbits icons, reputation.php, report.php, postings.php etc... to point to the forums folder?

[Lionel]

OK, I disabled those with conditionals in postbits.

[Lionel]

Suggestion: since groups has its own posts table, about a quick plugin for postbit to display groups postcount instead of forums, which is a little misleading?

[Lionel]

couple of questions:

where does category description display?
can you make it so that in group management option group owner can also edit group name and category?

[sabret00the]

apologies for going awol on you all this evening, i've read the posts and due to nothing being critical and me being knackered, i'll continue support in the morning.

[Neal-UK]

grps_noimage_4.gif image is missing, as it shows a red x

When validating a group it works but I get unable to find phrase "grps_successful_modding"

I get a red x box this when in a group under my username and it points to: http://www.gbpride.co.uk/http://www.gbpride.co.uk/image.php?u=1&dateline=

When in groups, the little nav bar that shows GB Pride > Sports > England clicking on GB Pride takes me to http://www.gbpride.co.uk/groups/forum.php and not http://www.gbpride.co.uk/forum.php or Group home page.

just a heads up when inviting someone that doesnt exist it comes up with a fatal error? maybe an error page is needed who knows anyway

in the plugin "GRPS: Group Activity In User CP (15 Newest)"

find:

and replace with <a href=\"" . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/groups/groups.php?" . $session[sessionhash] . "g=" . $grps_mygroupsinfo[groupid] . "\"><b>" . $grps_mygroupsinfo[title] . "</b></a><br />

[sabret00the]

Weird. I just reinstalled and same thing still.

Also I can't find template groups_display_mainbit
that template doesn't exist, i've removed all reference to that for the next zip as well as cacheing the groups_display_viewmembers template.

[Benj]

works a treat :D works perfectly for me now! (apart from invite error)


thanks alot :D

[sabret00the]

How can I get the proper links for the postbits icons, reputation.php, report.php, postings.php etc... to point to the forums folder?
all images need to be prefixed in the admincp, please see the instructions as to how.

as for reputation and infraction for that matter, they were an oversight, fixed in RC4, which will be release shortly.

report and postings are supposed to point to the groups directory as users have the ability to report posts, both things have been fixed as they featured errors.

i'll consider it, for the meanwhile, i've prefixed "Posts:" with the word forum in the postbit for groups threads to alleviate confusion.

[sabret00the]

couple of questions:

where does category description display?
can you make it so that in group management option group owner can also edit group name and category?
1. To my suprise, currently; no where.
2. I thought that was something best left to administrators.

grps_noimage_4.gif image is missing, as it shows a red x

When validating a group it works but I get unable to find phrase "grps_successful_modding"

I get a red x box this when in a group under my username and it points to: http://www.gbpride.co.uk/http://www.gbpride.co.uk/image.php?u=1&dateline=

When in groups, the little nav bar that shows GB Pride > Sports > England clicking on GB Pride takes me to http://www.gbpride.co.uk/groups/forum.php and not http://www.gbpride.co.uk/forum.php or Group home page.
i'll address this in the zip, i was under the hope that users would actually configure their options and add their own images, however it seems my hope was misplaced, change the option for random images in the admincp general settings for groups down to 3 (the number of images which is provided).

i've fixed that one more time, hopefully it should be the last time.

on what page, can you provide more information, a screenshot, url.

Please see 1082618

I'll release RC4 after i hear about this http://avatarlocation/http://avatarlocation/avatar.gif problem a little more.

I'll release RC4 after i hear about this http://avatarlocation/http://avatarlocation/avatar.gif problem a little more.

I had that problem with some other link. It turned out to be that I had /forums/image.gif in the file, instead of just image.gif.

you correctly do your thing by putting the $vb url so when we alter original file with a '/' in front it becomes double http

[Neal-UK]

Will it also be able to send PM's or e-mails to mods, etc to validate new groups created by members and have the link on the page rather than having it link to admin cp?

[Lionel]

to be more specific, the new post hack by Paul M was not linking properly in vbadvanced, so I changed the phrase to reflect /forums/search.php and that started displaying in groups as http://site.conm/forums/search.php/ http://site.conm/forums/search.php

I finally solved it by removing the link from the phrase and link it straight in navbar around the $rcount

MasterStroke!! Easily Mod of The Month. :)

[ericgtr]

Okay, thanks for the update. Please have a look here http://www.guitarblast.com/groups/groups.php?g=1 I understand the custom header won't work (as of yet) so I expect it to be broken, however the paths are still not right for the rest of it. See the links within the groups to see what I mean. Also, try this same link in Firefox and it's quite different from IE.

[Lionel]

When you create a new group it redirects you to groups home (btw i removed /groups in url) but does not tell you the group was successfully created.

if you don't put a description, the error does not get printed, it just kicks you back in the page.

[sabret00the]

GROUP LEADER ICON NOT SHOWING UP:
Only do this, if it is an isolated problem, in forums/includes/function_grps.php find:
$raw_groupinfo['leaderavatar'] = "<img src=\"" . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/" . fetch_avatar_url($raw_groupinfo['leaderid']) . "\" alt=\"Group Leader: " . $raw_groupinfo['leadername'] . "\" />";

and replace with
$raw_groupinfo['leaderavatar'] = "<img src=\"" . fetch_avatar_url($raw_groupinfo['leaderid']) . "\" alt=\"Group Leader: " . $raw_groupinfo['leadername'] . "\" />";

[Lionel]

suggestion: in navbar replacements, since the forum name points to groups home (which is fine) can you replace forum name with vbphrase groupname? I do it now, but hve to do it at every upgrade.

Also in postbit <if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript"> vbrep_register("$post[postid]")</script></if>
is throwing a javascript error. I had to disable it with a conditional, although this might not be related to groups since i had to do same conditional for PM

i'm confused, the only links i can see not working at
register.php
arcade.php
profile.php
member.php

everything else seems to be working perfectly, can i just confirm that these are the erroneous links you're referring to?

[sabret00the]

When you create a new group it redirects you to groups home (btw i removed /groups in url) but does not tell you the group was successfully created.

if you don't put a description, the error does not get printed, it just kicks you back in the page.
upon both instances, i've now forced the showing of the redirect message.

[Lionel]

not in the upgrade that you put up 15 minutes ago

sorry should've clarified, for RC5, i'll release it after the Arsenal Match, that gives people enough time to get in any last minute bugs.

in regards to your gradients and getting them to work, prefix each image in your css with a forward-slash.

i.e.
#FFFFFF url(images/kirsch/gradients/background.jpg) repeat

become
#FFFFFF url(/images/kirsch/gradients/background.jpg) repeat

[ronoxQ]

can you try changing that to your forums path (site path if your forums are in your site root) and let me know if the problem persists please.

I have an issue that may of already been discussed or brought up by someone else.

When I click on a created group and I am viewing the post within that group some of my features and links dont show up or are not linked correctly, example is my avatars, I use the warning system and the warning meter does not show I also user vbpager and the pager button on the botton points to the wrong url? Why does this all change in the groups area? This is a major fix for me.

i'm looking into your issue now.

[Lionel]

sorry should've clarified, for RC5, i'll release it after the Arsenal Match, that gives people enough time to get in any last minute bugs.

so how was the game?

[sabret00the]

so how was the game?
the scoreline was flattering considering the performance. don't get me wrong, we didn't play badly, but there's a difference between playing well and just doing what needs to be done so secure a victory, we done the latter. hopefully this just means we'll peak later in the season and secure trophies.

x

RC5 update. it seems the only real issues are the redirects and the missing string replacements. i hoped for a bit more feedback before another release, but it doesn't seem to have come. hopefully it just means that RC5 is the last RC, but who knows. just when i think that 50 million things are reported. anyway i just wanna take a look into the whole avatar issue before i release RC5.

could you pm me the contents of your groups/index.php and your groups/include/config.php in [php] tags please.

[Elpie]

I am not sure if this helps much sabret00the, but I had those exact same errors until I remembered I was testing on PHP5. As soon as I rolled back my test server to PHP4.x those errors disappeared.

Are you running PHP5.x ronoxQ?

i'm running PHP5 and without those error, though any info does indeed help Elpie, thanks for the heads up.

sabret00the

Basically what is happening is the some of the images while within groups point to /groups/imagelocation rather then /forums/imagelocation

[serg472]

The mod fails during the installation with a DB error. Reason - you are trying to use a fulltext index without making sure that the default db engine is MyISAM, not InnoDB as it is on my PC.

It would be a good idea to change this:

$db->query_write("
CREATE TABLE `grps_post` (
`postid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`threadid` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
`groupid` mediumint(9) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`parentid` int(10) unsigned default NULL,
`username` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
`userid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`title` varchar(250) NOT NULL default '',
`dateline` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`pagetext` mediumtext NOT NULL,
`ipaddress` varchar(16) NOT NULL default '',
`iconid` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`visible` smallint(6) NOT NULL default '0',
`attach` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`allowsmilie` enum('1','0') default NULL,
`showsignature` enum('0','1') NOT NULL default '0',
`edit_username` varchar(50) default NULL,
`edit_userid` int(10) default NULL,
`edit_reason` varchar(200) default NULL,
`edit_dateline` int(10) unsigned default NULL,
`delete_username` varchar(50) default NULL,
`delete_userid` int(10) default NULL,
`delete_reason` varchar(200) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`postid`),
KEY `threadid` (`threadid`),
FULLTEXT KEY `title` (`title`,`pagetext`)
)
");

to this:

$db->query_write("
CREATE TABLE `grps_post` (
`postid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`threadid` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
`groupid` mediumint(9) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`parentid` int(10) unsigned default NULL,

PRIMARY KEY (`postid`),
KEY `threadid` (`threadid`),
FULLTEXT KEY `title` (`title`,`pagetext`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM
");

in grps_installer.php for future versions.

[serg472]

Another bugs in grps_moderate.php

This piece of code:

$groups = $db->query("
SELECT grps.groupid, grps.title, grps.description, grps.leaderid, user.username, grps_categories.catid, grps_categories.title AS catname
FROM grps
LEFT JOIN user ON (user.userid = grps.leaderid)
LEFT JOIN grps_categories ON (grps_categories.catid = grps.catid)
WHERE approved != '1'
");


should be replaced with:

$groups = $db->query("
SELECT grps.groupid, grps.title, grps.description, grps.leaderid, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user.username, grps_categories.catid, grps_categories.title AS catname
FROM grps
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user ON (" . TABLE_PREFIX . "user.userid = grps.leaderid)
LEFT JOIN grps_categories ON (grps_categories.catid = grps.catid)
WHERE approved != '1'
");



And this one:

$adddata = $db->query_first("
SELECT *
FROM grps
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user ON (user.userid = grps.leaderid)
WHERE groupid = $groupid
LIMIT 1
");

Should be replaced with:

$adddata = $db->query_first("
SELECT *
FROM grps
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user ON (" . TABLE_PREFIX . "user.userid = grps.leaderid)
WHERE groupid = $groupid
LIMIT 1
");

[.Tim]

The install seems to go fine and I get a "done" message but the groups page still shows up blank. Am I not doing something right?

[:Judge:]

Awesome Add On!!

I have a few minor issues that I cannot find to fix:

1. Group Leader Avatar - Not showing up, the image path is obviously wrong http://www.mysite.com/forums/http://www.mysite.com/forums/image.php?u=1&dateline=

2. Invite PM - The link in the PM to accept an invite is going to mysite.com/groups (it should be) mysite.com/forums/groups

3. Should there be an option to upload a groups photos or random is all it gets?

4. How could I go in to edit my navbits? Would like Forums - Groups - Group Name.

5. No Group Info in Member Profile. I am using a bit of the MySpace profile re-write, is this why I am not getting any group info?

Thanks, other then the above it works great for me so far. Im sure these are simple fixes I just am not finding the correct places to make the edits.

Awesome Add On!!

I have a few minor issues that I cannot find to fix:

1. Group Leader Avatar - Not showing up, the image path is obviously wrong http://www.mysite.com/forums/http://www.mysite.com/forums/image.php?u=1&dateline=

2. Invite PM - The link in the PM to accept an invite is going to mysite.com/groups (it should be) mysite.com/forums/groups

3. Should there be an option to upload a groups photos or random is all it gets?

4. How could I go in to edit my navbits? Would like Forums - Groups - Group Name.

5. No Group Info in Member Profile. I am using a bit of the MySpace profile re-write, is this why I am not getting any group info?

Thanks, other then the above it works great for me so far. Im sure these are simple fixes I just am not finding the correct places to make the edits.
YEs I am having simular issues also with the avator not showing up because it point to /groups instead of /forums/

I also have vbpager installed and the pager link point to /groups/bla/bla/bla

Need to fix this ...

[TheBlackPoet]

i never could get hacks like this to work on my forum.. it must be something set up in my dbase that prevents it... try try try... no success...
not your fault though...

[sabret00the]

Can you please... You have my info still?
sure thing, i'll do it sometime today.

I just need to overwrite the functions_grps.php only when upgrading from rc4?
nope, all files. just the functions_grps.php was for a problem with the first RC5 zip i threw up. there at atleast two changed instances in index.php in RC5 i can't recall whatelse.
