Kirby, I've run into a little issue with this one. Not all forums are showing up.

I have a forum that's not visible to all users and you have to be assigned to a specific group in order to view it. The users in that group cannot see the forum in the opt out list.

It's in my list, however, it isn't showing for the users in the group that has access to it.

Hmm ... it should show all Forums where you have canview AND cansearch AND canoptout Permission AND have Password (if there is any) AND are active AND have displayorder set.

Do all these conditions apply?

i can't find the settings in admin cp and when i click new posts, it just brings me all new posts, no options

Check your user cp options. ;)

ah har, thanks for that, nice hack.

Duh? LOL

Found the problem..

I went into the forum permissions and found that it was automatically set to "No." Turned it on and the users can now see it in their list.

Since this is a "special" forum, and not all users can see it, is that why it didn't show up for those that have access to it?

Yes, I do feel silly https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2005/08/16.gif

I was just razzing you. I have been there and done that. ;)

@Biker_GA
Yes, the Permissions/Options must be set properly otherwise it will not show up.
As the Forum used to have customized Permissions before this Hack was added, the Bit was set to Zero.

Gotcha. Good thing to know. :)

Does anyone think this interface to select forums is better/worse than the methodology used by Dark Visor's hack?

**INSTALLED**

Definately better. ;)

Yes, this is definitely better. And was easier to make than my hack... :)

The only thing, though, this won't exclude forums from forum view, like my hack does. Fix it please?

I actually like that the forums are still visible in the Forums View, and in normal searches. It just blocks them from Today's Posts/New Posts.

Why should I fix smth. that ain't broken ;)

Hiding Forums from Forumdisplay was never intended for this Hack.
Or in other words: It's working as designed.

LMAO! It's not a bug.. It's a feature!

Definitely better -- and just what I was looking for. Users like familiarity and this works just like the search feature.

:)

I've just upgraded the forum to rc2 not I get this, I sorted it before but I can't find the solution today, my head is up my ****

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/*****/*********/forum/profile.php(2623) : eval()'d code on line 54

sorted, just reverted the modifyoptions template and added the code back in, wonder why it didnt work though...??

Don't know, should survive the Upgrade without Problems, but I didn't test this yet.

Kirby, after the upgrade, users are getting this when clicking on "Edit Options" in the UserCP. Error goes away when I uninstall the plugin. (And yes, I've totally removed it and attempted to reinstall. Same error.)

Nevermind. Got it fixed.

When I uninstalled the product, the plugin was still listed in the plugin manager. I removed those, reinstalled, and it appears to be working now.

You must have had the Plugin installed twice ...

At 1am in the morning? That's entirely possible! LOL

Well can you add it as a feature please thanks?

As said: It's working as designed and I don't plan on adding a feature to hide Forums from Forumdisplay/Forumhome :)

Is the $bulletin a typo or on purpose? :nervous:

Looks like no matter what it adds the comma. :nervous:

My guess it si a typo.

It's a Typo. Gonna update the ZIP soon :)

Hi,

The latest vb adds support for a title field in forum names. In the past, when using html in forum names, the forum name did not appear in the forum jump menu (and some other places).

Now, by adding a title field to the forum name, the forum name text appears in places that it did not appear in the past (like the forum jump menu).

The title field text is not appearing in the Forum Exclude list for this extension in the user cp. Is it possible to add support for the title field to this excellent extension?

Thanks,

Ed

I am not sure If I understood you correctly, but there was a possible Problem with Forums that had HTML in Title.
Should be fixed now.

My forum names are images, not text, therefore the forum jump menus are blank. However, with v3.5, there is now support for adding a title tag:

In v3.5, vbulletin picks up the text between the title tags and inserts it in places where the textual forum name is needed, like in the forum jump menu.

Currently, the Exclude Forums box is blank for me because my forum names are images. I've inserted title tags with the textual forum names in between, and now my forum jump menus work, but the Exclude Forums box is still blank.

I'm hoping that this mod will also pick up the text in the title tags and insert it into the Exclude box.

Sorry for the cumbersome explanation.

Ed

Did you try Version 1.0.3 already?

Btw: Your Forum Names will generate invalid HTML, as <title> is only allowed in <head>

It works fine with 1.03, problem solved.


It appears that vbulletin is using those tags as internal markers only. They are being stripped out before the page is rendered, so it doesn't cause a problem.

Thanks,

Ed

Are you sure?
That obiously isn't valid HTML (see <title> Tag being used) ...

Any chance of adding a per forum permission that are overridden by the forum permissions by usergroup if they are set?

I've read that sentence 4 times, and still don't get what you want?

An option in AdminCP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager -> Edit Forum -> Can be Excluded from Get New / Get Daily

It would make it a lot easier to set a global per forum option and if you want specific usergroups to have a different permission than is set on the forum, you can set an access mask-like permission such as the one currently being used.

Just checking to see if you understood the last post :p

I'm getting the issue reported with phrases not showing upwhen editing a Usergroup... Tried editing a phrase, and re-installing the product - to no avail.
