I think as soon as you get those out of the way, it will be fun for you again and you can play with all of the cool additions you have in mind. :) I'm sure it's not easy to keep up with all of the comments here, and hard to sort out what's a bug and what's a user error, so kudos to you as well for your dedication.
I saw the pm in my email. i haven't opened it here yet because i wanted to give it a proper reply. i'm basically spending today and tomorrow finishing up the PRS changes and then i'll be able to get back to this. Unfortunately cold hard cash is a motivation but not an enthusiasm. As soon as i've finished with PRS i'll respond to your PM as i'll have some idea over whether or not i can meet that deadline you mentioned.

As long as any bugs discovered are mentioned in here, i'll be sure to squash them.

As you know I have also donated towards this hack when it came out and was using it on my test forum which I no longer run because I decided to start a completly different forum. I do though still run my current production site that I am not running this sweet add on but would love too, but as the last poster stated I will wait till some of the bugs get worked out. I would also like to see the post counts add up in vb when posting in the groups, this is very important to me. I al also willing to donate more money if this mode improves and there are some fixes to the know bugs and hope that others will donate also.

very good mod. Installed :)

I would be willing to donate heavily if it expidites getting the bugs worked out.

Merriweather 02-14-2007 11:50 PM
Perhaps the best approach is to compile a list of bug fixes (NOT requests for script changes) so that sabret00the can just look at one post and have them all? I will post mine, and if you have something to add, please copy my list and then add yours to the end. :)
  • Fix report post feature
  • Do something so that postbit items added by other mods will work
  • Fix the Quick Reply
  • Make it so if the forums are not using Quick Reply, the Groups aren't either
  • Fix all of the problems related to templates not working as a result of the group residing outside the forums (I've had to change all navbar, etc links to be absolute URLs instead of relative)
  • Add "Post Reply" link to thread view (necessary fix if Quick Reply is able to be removed)
  • Fix or remove the expand/collapse on the Group info sidebar (it doesn't do anything) and fix the group post count

sabret00the 02-20-2007 11:03 AM
Work has resumed on this.

hitboy 02-20-2007 04:27 PM
Wow this looks very interesting I am guessing i shoudl wait until the patch comes right anyway I have installed just read through half this thread omg 78 pages lol i read through nearly 40 of them haha...

Good job on this idea. It completely changes the perspective of vbulletin itself. VB should be buying this modification from you lol

Merriweather 02-20-2007 08:30 PM
Sabret00the ~ I am so glad you are back -- I was about to start having panic attacks! ;)

I am having trouble installing this mod. I have done everything correctly, and then when I get to the install.php part I only get a blank page when I go to the url. What could the problem be?

Thanks, and great mod btw.
do you not even get it saying done?

If I don't like this product, what steps are required to uninstall it totally? I hope you can continue to support this product for years to come and even perhaps get a team to take it under their wings should you not have the time.

Thank you.
to uninstall completely remove the plugin and run the un-installation script as provided.

When navigating the site I always end up back in the forum directory. The usercp is in forum, the faq is in forum, all the nav bar links go to forum, so once your there there is no way to go back to groups. How do I keep a visitor in the groups where they're supposed to be. If they end up on the forums index page, they will be totally lost.

It's my understanding that the groups runs as a separate little world using parts of the "forum" where necessary. The more I read the more confused I'm getting.

I have a couple of other minor issues, but I really need to get a handle on this navigation thing. Any help and explanations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

i'm curious, do you both have vBaCMS installed?

there is no inclusive points system. though hooks are in place to integrate with another points system

vbulletin in /forum
groups /group directories in the root..


In usercp etc , there is no link anywhere from forum to groups, i did the template edits but i dont know why its not working.. its working if i enter from /groups directly..

If yu have a group or you are a member, it still says is not a memeber of any group in orum profiles..
that's a strange one i'm stomped.

One problem that's probably been answered but I can't find it in this huge thread...

When I go into a group and "post new thread" at the top of the new thread text box it says what Group I am in but when clicking on the link it just links to /groups/forumdisplay.php?f= which obviously doesn't work.

Any ideas?
fixed in 2.0.6

private or hidden?

Also, if I click "Advanced" instead of using the Quick Reply, it shows a preview at the top that looks like this:



Seems even without using it, the QR box gets a hard return entered causing that to happen.
oooh, can't replicate the <br /> one but fixed the other thing.

But when you are posting a reply, the breadcrumbs are just

Groups Home > Thread Title

Breadcrumbs should keep the heirarchy even when posting, same as in the forums.

I really like what you have done here, but this project will not go anywhere unless posts are indexed on the main site. Otherwise you are just building an island and no one will ever see the activity in each group. If you can get the search working then I imagine RSS and subscriptions will follow very quickly. Don't reinvent the wheel.

You have to get this more integrated with the VB core or it won't take off.

Thanks again.

My groups are set to be not accessible if you are not logged in, so you get the vBulletin "Not logged i" error when you try to view the page as expected, but no links work properly. the main login on the page (in the center) works fine, but at the top, it does not.

I had to go into the templates and manually add in absolute URLs (i.e. put $vboptions[bburl]/ in front of all links) so it would link through the forums directory and not the groups directory.
as stated in the previous post, fixed.

not quite sure what you're on about there but the breadcrumb has been fixed on the report page.

it seems your extensive testing uncovered unreported bugs. all of the above has been fixed bar the one i didn't understand/couldn't replicate. i apologise for making you do all those additional edits. they weren't necessary and were indeed a lapse in concentration on my part.

Great idea. But needs so much work and is more of a headache than I'd thought it would be.

Problems:

1. Group Leaders are NOT, in affect, the moderators of the Group. The only way to allow them to edit posts is to give them Super Moderator status (scary - they can then edit every post on every board!). Checking "Can Moderate Groups" still does not give them that permission.

2. Members cannot edit their own posts, even though "Can Edit Own Messages Posted In Groups?" is set to yes.

3. Group Info (with the collapse button that doesn't function) and Newest Members sidebars should be on main Group page only - they overlap with posts within the threads, making some of them unreadable (depends on the size of the member's signature).

Good job on this idea. It completely changes the perspective of vbulletin itself. VB should be buying this modification from you lol
i wish someone would buy this and some of my other add-on's off me, but alas :(

the update should be out by midnight my time, i just have to do one or two more things now that i've actually fixed all outstanding bugs.

gahhhhhhhhh, i have no idea what to do about this one. i'll try and figure something out but will make the release scheduled for tonight with or without this one being fixed.

you should go to sleep though, it's not healthy to be up at this hour.

If you need access to a site to look into this problem just lemme know ...

I'd go to sleep but my son isn't feeling well :(

Problems:

1. Group Leaders are NOT, in affect, the moderators of the Group. The only way to allow them to edit posts is to give them Super Moderator status (scary - they can then edit every post on every board!). Checking "Can Moderate Groups" still does not give them that permission.
incorrect as far as design and practice on my forums and test board.

ahhh, the recurring problem i can't replicate; given the url edit a post, that what would be behind a button i.e. http://yoursite.com/groups/editpost....editpost&p=198 do they get a no permission screen?

i have no idea what to say to this one, bar telling you that the collapse button has just been fixed.

sorry to hear about your son, hope it's not too serious.

i'll take you up on that offer of access to your site. but give me a few hours, i have to go out and then work on a feature that's been requested for an eternity (i.e. resign group to a new group leader).

Group Leaders on my site are Moderators of their group :)

Ah, I think I figured this one out - but it's still a bug that should be fixed. The Group Leader is the moderator of the Group as long as he/she created the group. I don't let members create their own groups, rather I'm using this as a controlled section where I assign leaders to groups that I have created - once I change the Group Leader from the back end, they don't assume those permissions unfortunately, it seems. They can't edit unless they've created the group themselves.

I get the "you do not have permission" message when trying to follow that link:

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.

I do the same thing and it works fine for me O.o

Good news: i've located the edit button problem.

Bad news: as a result, i now won't the release until after i've fixed it.

Exitilus 02-22-2007 02:07 PM
YAY .. What was it? *lol*

sabret00the, what are the chances of tying this in with the subscription system, so I can subscribe to a groups thread and have it show up in my usercp under the thread subscription section? That might be much more work that it's worth, though.
