Hey i got a problem so far with my style, my style is very customized and it does not have the gradients and everything which it normally has on the homepage.

The gradients and all even work in firefox, so its not the microsoft specific gradients.

I bet you already have answered this question, but I don't know how to change it.

Thanks in advance.

DOH! Thanks!

Ok so then just 1 issue, lol. Post within groups do not count towards the users post count.

To donate. Either right click and then press "open in new tab", click "Support Developer" at the top of the screen or you can manually send a donation to 1/ is like that by design. i'll be sure to reconsider post counts for 3.0. however theres no real way of me maintaining 'artificial' post counts should they be manually rebuilt.

2/ Disable double post protection as djilou pointed out :)

i'm not sure what you mean about microsoft specific gradients. i would suggest/guess however it should be fixed if you edit your css.

I actually personally like it this way due to a lot of our features requiring so many posts before you can use the specific feature. I would much rather that posts count only in the actual forums instead of the groups that way more participation is done in the forums to up the post count instead of strictly within the groups.

But if it is ever possible to make that an option I would like to see it as an option. Not sure that it can actually be done though.

Oh, say it aint so.

if implemented, it would definitely be an option because i definitely don't want it for my site.

sadly. the logic was that given the new joining/leaving options. it makes the function debunked in that if you join a group, then leave a group in order to join another group then you can just opt to not delete your posts. and then later on go back in order to reply to threads. but i'm as always interested in any counter arguments.

The group leader suddenly lost their permission to edit posts, any idea why?
Or rather the edit button disappeared, a direct link works.
And also admin edit works...and edit button appears.

I really do not know how to work this, maybe i am a plbkac case I am not sure.

So first of all, I was trying to make a group and that didn't work, as I can not find the options or they do not seem to work in how to moderate or allow a group to be made.

Secondly my style is custom its caprice from forumthemes.com, and my links are not coming up.
E.g. they are similar to the tabbed links in vbulletin.org (home, forums, articles, mods, styles, etc etc etc, and all of them are picture), but it wont work in groups, e.g. tabbed links do come with the style as pictures, however they only show up on the forum, but they will not come up on other pages outside the forum.
I have tried to make the links to the images absolute, and it did not show the picture for them at all not at groups, vbadvanced neither forum.

What can I do...?

ps. my website is not working today as I am having problem with my host.

cheers in advanced

I deleted, grps and tried to reinstall it, i even deleted the tables, however it will not let me reinstall it, as it says

did you run the uninstaller?

when you say suddenly?

to make a group make sure you have your usergroup permissions. a few things to check to make sure your installation went smoothly is to make sure your GRPS vBulletin Options are present and also that your GRPS admincp group is present.

I get two error when I upgraded from 2.012 to 2.013.

1. Group Leader can't get thread edit permission.
-- Edit button is disappeared. ( I doble checked user's permission.)
-- But Admin has edit permission.
-- GROUPS's general permission(Threads edit & delete) setting is not effect for user groups.
* Note : Users can edit thread when I re-imported just only 2.0.12 product-xml.
But it's mean, Users can just edit thread, General Permission Setting is still can not effect.

2. Group Leader get this error when delete all threads.
See attachment image.

3. I get this error with only Vbulletin(No other Mods).



And I get another problem with 2.013.

I can't get postbit.
Of course I didn't 'Use Legacy Postbit' option to 'Yes'(I set 'No').
And my VB postbit and postbit_legacy isn't edted.

How can I use postbit for GROUPS?

* My VB's default display is Postbit_legacy.

I'm a donated user...

Please fix this bug... :)

everything is working fine, just one problem, it tries to load the pictures on the groups page, and when i look at the broken links it shows

groups_noimage10 so pretty much the value can be between 1 or 10, or can it be more?

because I do need to know how many pictures i should create for that random numbering.

everything else is working!!!! thats such a great hack sabret00the!!!!!

Another question:

Is there any possibility to have show in the usercp which groups you are with? also in zoints profile hack?

Permission bug has fixed. lol !!!
Bug caused by 2.0.13 Product-xml code.
I can fixed when I 2.0.13 Product-xml file's plug-in code changed.
I think, 2.0.13 Product-xml file has something wrong.

Now I got little & only one bug.
2. Group Leader get this error when delete all threads from own groups.
I can fix this error message when I delete 'viewthread.php on line 218' code line.
Is this right? I think this is not right...
What can I do for this bug?
Please help... :)

Thanks.

I have installed this mod to the groups folder on my site,and all my forum stuff is in the folder before (ie this mod is in a subfolder) but most of the images don't load, and links are http://www.facebang.co.uk/groups/private.php instead of http://www.facebang.co.uk/private.php.

I left the chdir line in config_grps.php as ../ , and the rewrite links as true, do these need changing to anything?!

So what was fixed ?

What was wrong?

Why quarantined ?

I am not restoring this until I know it is fixed

Yes the wonderful world of vbulletin.org. quarantine your work and then leave you in no mans land in regards to your ability to deal with your installee's. the quarantine system is **** but the powers that be aren't interested in my opinion regarding the matter.

anyway there was apparently a potential XSS exploit in the group creation process. to be honest that's as much info as i was given. the exploit was fixed by cleaning the data with NOHTML types. the only file that was changed for the index.php and also viewthread.php to remove the array_merge error.

Is there any possibility to get a module for CMPS to show a random group?

After the update.

I am having a SQL error when I try to edit a group. For some reason the grpspermissions field was not added to the groups table.

I searched the plugin and couldnt find it, is this a mistake?

Never mind :) :) Moron alert...

i don't use vBadvanced CMPS so i'm afraid i won't be making the module. if a third party wants to, they can. i encourage modifications and add-on's.

Hey,

I try to install, but i just see a white page...

I guess, that i´ve uploaded the files wrong...
- forums is uploaded to "domain/forums/"
- groups is uploaded to "domain/forums/"

I tried to copy it to domain-root, but then i get a database error when installing...

What did i wrong??
Thx Alex

Very nice hack, had some time to look at it last night.

In the future would it be possible to allow the group leaders to choose an image during group creation? Then in the group listings they could use the image next to their name as a group avatar per se.

Also, What gallery do you use? Any plans on possibly adding gallery support?

Thanks!

Is there any chance in telling an newbie in what would be required to show in a module or externally?

It would be cool to have a random group showing in a vba cmps.

I am also trying to get a zoints block for this if it is possible. That would just be the tip of the iceberg.

E.g. as the groups are being shown in the usercp, the same could be shown in the zoints userprofiles!

But your hack is already among the greatest sabret00the!!!

BTW is there any way to have custome pictures for the groups instead of the 3 pictures which are supplied with it?

bump... I got the images sorted by copying my main images folder into the groups folder, but still lost about the links?

ermm sorry but how to delete categories?
i cant find it anywhere
my 1st mod use sorry :/

ah also need to know how to change random pics on every group :)

you haven't set your config.

group leaders will be able to choose group avatars in future but not during the group creation process. though that's not a bad idea so might implement that later down the line of development.

i really don't have zoints or vbadvanced cmps installed so i'm not sure what you'd have to do. i'll try and throw in an easier means of grabbing info from the groups for 3.0

not in 2.x version. It will be present in 3.x

what links aren't working?

in the admincp, there will be a group on the left for GRPS groups. you do it via that.

you can only swap the random pictures and that would be by replacing them manually on your server. keeping the same filename structure.

GENERAL UPDATE: Development slowed a whole lot for various different reasons and i missed my target to take 3.0 to beta. Development has now sped up once more. However i'm not quite at a stage as to give another projected ETA for either beta, RC or Gold. Should i get back into the swing of things i'll try and sort that out for you all.

To give you some idea of where i'm at. Most of the front end functionality is now complete. I'm going to finish off the posting type stuff (viewing threads, making posts, editing posts, making new threads) next (most of that is done, but alas i'm tweaking and that might have a knock on effect.

The next port of call will then be the back-end. I'm really wanting to make the link rewriting and automated, graceful, professional and GUI driven. In it's current form 3.x using an XML to do link lookups and replacements and so the onus on me will be to make sure that's easily editable via the admincp.

After that i'm then onto the admincp in whole. Just basically making new versions of the current pages that encompass the new functionality. This step may actually come after the beta (well the depth of it anyway) so i know exactly what users may want to edit.

From there, it's about tighter integration. People have requested RSS's (not sure what you'd all want them to show. Answers greatly appreciated) and search integration. The latter is my preference and could be the key to making most of you happy in one swoop, so one eye is one that from now.

Then i guess we're onto would be the installer. Thus far i've had a lot of complaints about the lack instructions, installer. So i'm going to make that a lot easier on everyone and basically wrap it all up in a pretty little bun.

After all that i'm going to move onto tweaking the gallery images. I'm considering cropping resized thumbnails to make them uniform in size instead of just resizing them and leaving so much to variance. However i've not decided yet. But alas this will probably definitely come after beta.

Your only real enemy for progress in regards to 3.0 is paid work. Given the time of year, it's excellent to have a little extra in my pocket so i'm always on the lookout as far as that goes. but it's a fairly straight forward process right now and most, if not all of my stresses in regards to technical problems holding this up are in the past.

Anything you feel i might've forgotten, feel free to open up for discussion. For all of those waiting for 3.0 and showing support as a few of you have. I'm really grateful and i really hope to make you happy with 3.0. Though i bet you, i get a wave of complaints due to the fact that i move away from vBulletin's way of handling things on quite a few different aspects of 3.0. For some it's bad, for me, it's about adding it's own presence and hopefully it'll be a direction that vBulletin takes, but ultimately i feel it's best for the product in the long run.

i am having this problems and i don't understand what i've done wrong

Admin you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. 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?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

added modifications to code (including in config_gprs)
added files
added plugin
runned the installer
Are the groups turned on? YES

i have my forums in the root and i acces the groups thru www.domain.com/groups and my forum thru www.domain.com
i use vb 3.6.5

what could be wrong??? please assist

It sounds like you forgot to set your usergroup permissions.
