Faster change of forumpermissions

[Xenon]

Such a system has been requested several times, and now i've coded it.

With this hack you can change the forumpermissions of a usergroup for all forums at once, or change the forumpermissions of one forum for all usergroups at once.

the permission form is also created dynamical, so whenever you add a permission into the database (like canviewtitles or whatever) you can imediately use it with my forms.

Screenshots are following

Hack version 2.02
Known Bugs: None
Planned upgrades: none for now

as i know they have rewritten the permission system to a dynamical one (as far as i could read out beyond the lines ;))
so perhaps your hope will become true :)

if not i'll code it in vb3 ;)

[wolfman]

OH wow though I have not upgraded to vbb 2.2.8 and I am using 2.2.7 do you know if this should work with it or not?

Now from what I have seen in the screenshots this looks to me a must have hack for any vbb, this really will make it much easier to apply permissions.

[Smoothie]

My fingers thank you! Especially my clicker finger. :)

[Xenon]

there were no changes in forumpermission.php from vb227 to vb228 so you can use the hack also with 227

[Buddha]

yep. installed on 2.27 and works like a charm.
thanks.

[Mathieu]

cool my finger are impatient to install it it's a good job.

[geniuscrew]

vB 3 suggestions (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=26055)

They might add a similar function :rolleyes:

[Jonne]

Am I the only one getting an error like this? Tried to redo it three times and same layout error every time.

Using vb ver 2.2.8

[Xenon]

hmm, looks wierd.

but the code is ok...
what versions of php and mysql do you use?
perhaps the problem is there...
because i can see it works correct for the group which has set a forumpermission...

[Gutty]

have i done the input of the code right cause i keep getting 404 error on almost every page in the usergroups :(

[g-force2k2]

Gutty did you upload the file to the correct directory? regards...

Xenon another great job :) i will have to check out the coding later to see what i can learn from it ;) perhaps if i ever open a forum i'll install it as well...

Using vb ver 2.2.8 Same problem here......php 4.1.1 mySQL 3.23.41

[Xenon]

hmm, my testboard has mysql 3.23.47
but i don't think that's the problem, because the change is behind the snd .

php4.2.3

can i get other feedback?
does anyone use a phpversion before 4.1.1 and the hack works as it should?

[Smoothie]

Just to be sure, I uploaded my backup file, started over, and same results.

[Chris M]

Great:)

[blackice912]

Very nice :)

* blackice912 clicks install

[Jonne]

Xenon:
PHP version - 4.1.0
MySQL version - 3.23.46

[Xenon]

thank you

hmm, seems that the hack needs PHP4.2.x to work properly.

just a question does anybody have php 4.0.x or 4.1.x and the Hack works as it should?

[wolfe]

this is a Awesome hack well done d00d :D

[marocnl]

PROBLEM!

tjsek attachment

[marocnl]

Another attach

[Xenon]

seems you've got the same bug as others have here, too.

Which PHP version and MySQL do you use?
i think the hack requires PHP42x

[marocnl]

I am not quite sure. I think it's lower than 42x, but defenitely something with a 4 :).

Can you get it to work with a lower version PHP/MySql, cause i would really like 2 use it. Get motivated by all the pIEpAl who are eager to implent it in their site. :D

Let me know if ur planning to make one soon. :)

[Xenon]

perhaps i try it, but i don't use php4.1 or lower so i realized it after releasing that it seems to have problems...

also my time is limited these days because of studying...

Would 'PLEASE' make any difference in speeding up the process?


P.S.: I'm really waiting 4 it, so just tell whether u seriously plan to give it a go. :classic:

[Xenon]

yes i plan to make it compatible, but cannot say if it would work ;)

Well h?, it's the thought that counts. :lick:

[wolfman]

There is only one thing I can say

Thank you so much for this hack.

[Xalious]

Ok we have installed this hack also. I have www.ipowerweb.com for a webhost. The problem we have is...

Lets say i have a user named Bob. He is in user group named "group 1" and is a moderator of a forum.

My problem is here, If i make a private forum, Bob seems to have access to it by default. I do NOT want this. So i installed this hack hoping it would make things easier.

I then goto the user groups section of this hack and the screen of this hack comes up. I then set permissions and check/uncheck the needed fields. When i push the apply button at the bottom i get a screen telling me permissions have been changed.
Now, If i ask bob if he can see the forum i just added and changed permissions for his group on he tells me "Yes he can"
The permissions i set his group for this private forum is NOT to be able to see the forum.

Ive tried creating my own new user, making him a moderator of a forum, and adding him to a group. As soon as i make a NEW private forum, my user can see it by default. (can you change this default to not make moderators have permission to NEW private forums?)
In control panel i goto user groups to chage the permissions.

Again.. it says my permissions are set. I log onto my test user but yet i Still see the forum i just told the group it couldnt see.
I need help with this please. I am adding new PRIVATE forums daily for groups of people. Everytime i do i have to go to each moderator that i dont want to have access to it and change thier permission manually by user name. i have 21 moderators currently (only to get bigger) and i can see this problem become a large problem for me.

[Xenon]

that's not a problem with my hack!

you have enabled acces masks, which always overwrites the permissions given for a usergroup.

you have to edit HIS accesmask to disallow him to view some forums.
my hack just works for usergrouppermissions, not for accesmasks

[Xalious]

Turning off the forum access masks did the trick.
thanks for all the help

[Xenon]

:)
you're welcome

I am also getting this EXACT same Problem as Jonne. I then simply tried to take of the marker on one of those boxes that do not have all the boxes for yes and no.

and I am getting this:


Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.8:

[Xenon]

known problem, it has to do with your php-mysql kombination.
i plan to fix this, but i don't have any time these days :(

[kreatiV]

Oh okay. I just checked to make sure, and yep I have

PHP Version 4.1.1

[Xenon]

ok, long time since the last posts, but i don't have had much time for this hack...

now i have released version 2.00
i've completely rewritten the code, so you should install it on a fresh forumpermission.php

changes:
it should be compatible to all php versions now
hierarchial forumstructure when editing a usergroup.

i have uploaded new screenshots, too :)

hope it can help :)

With this hack you can change the forumpermissions of a usergroup for all forums at once, or change the forumpermissions of one forum for all usergroups at once.




in line 393:
echo "<li>$usergroup[title]".
makelinkcode("edit","forumpermission.php?s=$session[sessionhash]
&action=editusergroup&usergroupid=$usergroup[usergroupid]").
"</li>\n";

I cant make the action=editusergroup script to work. Where is the function if ($action=="editusergroup") located?
I couldnt find it in the hack.

When I click on Usergroups part, its displayed blank.

[Xenon]

ahh, sorry i forgot to update that link ....

redownload it now :)

Should there be a function if ($action=="editusergroup") ?

[Xenon]

nope it's a different file, maybe your browser has cahced the old one.
empty your cache and redownload it.

and no there shouldn't be a editusergroup function

[PurpleCow]

Hello,

Does it work with the current stable release of vB230 ??

Thanks

[Xenon]

yes, we use it here, for example :)

Excellent stuff! Cheers!

Hi Xenon,

I know this has been dead for a while, but I just installed it and I love it, but have one tiny question:

Would it be possible to add a "check all" tickbox at the top of each catagory in usergroup so that we don't have to check off all those boxes if we want to give that access over all the forums (ie: can vote etc...)? We have close to 300 forums, so the guy with the clicker finger is going nuts :D

Thanks in advance for any help.

[Xenon]

hmm, good idea.

I'll look into it when i get more free time again, but i can't promise anything as i think JS is needed and i don't know how to code in JS ;)

[ipcn]

Any chances on getting this for vB3? It would be VERY helpful :)
