vb.org Archive - Major Additions - GRPS: Groups Commune 2.0.x

BIG problem -- it seems that the group leader can assign ANYONE as the new group leader, regardless of their permissions. For instance, I have a usergroup that can start and join groups and another usergroup that can only join groups. However, the ones who can only join groups are listed in the drop down as options to turn the group leadership over to, and that is bad because my members pay to be able to lead groups -- I can't have it so someone with starting permissions can start them then just start turning them over to users who aren't supposed to be able to start them.

There is also the issue of what happens to a user when their usergroup changes to no longer allow them group permissions -- has this been addressed at all yet? Right now, if they change to a usergroup with no group permissions, but are members of a group, their group membership remains, and that needs to change as well.

i understand where you're coming from with both of these problems, but bugs they are not. i'll have a look into a solution for both of these problems for 3.0.

I think there is another small issue with the postbit Currently my postbit on vb shows field=xx example which is Location and shows up fine when in VB but when in the Groups some of the Fields are missing like the Location.. How do I make sure that my postbit fields match up like the fields in VB? I also noticed that I have an awards hack which shows the awards assigned to that member in the postbit but when I am in Groups that awards does now show up so this tells me that the postbit is out of sync with VB

I am using the Show Profile fields in Postbits hack to display the extra fields.

How can I change the wording on the main (index.php) page under
Search For Group is says (e.g. journals, football, makeup, dating) I want to make that more related to my site?

Edit it in your phrases.

are both of these happening on your php 5 board. i must confess i don't get the quote problem you're referring to. can you please use screenshots to explain better i'm at a loss. btw if your board is running php5 then please feel free to set me up an account and i'll take a look.

I'll be testing the board on php5 on Friday. I don't recall ever seeing anything in your mod about needing php5 (but I could have easily missed it) -- you might want to make sure that's made clear for other users. :) I hope php5 fixes some of these issues. :)

I'll politely disagree that they aren't bugs... there's barely a point to usergroup permissions if once permissions are granted they can't be revoked. ;)

Just want you to know I don't intend to be a thorn in your side and hope I'm not -- I just want this awesome mod to work perfectly. :) You do great work and give great support! :up:

As for being a bug, they're definitely not bugs, 100% so. Reason being is that the function works as designed. A bug is about unexpected behaviour. When you made the feature request, you mentioned nothing of checking a users permissions thus the scope of design was basic. Now you feel that more work should go into it so it can work as you'd like. that's not a bug fix, that's further development. two totally different things. hence me saying i'll look into it for 3.0.x
