10x man
also having some issues with the template for the groups (aint the one with the one i am using on my forums) any tip?

Also cant rilly understand where to find the relevant input box....
you may notice that the smilies and posticons are not working, you will have to edit them individually and prefix them with your forums path. i.e. images/smilies/smilie1.gif BECOMES http://www.yoursite.com/forums/image...es/smilie1.gif

In order to do this, please go to your admincp, find the relevant input box and prefix the text in said book with the url to your forums.

Great Hack, sabret00the!! :up:

Does this Great Hack Work With vBulletin 3.6.7 ?? :confused:

I can see them Working in you Web Site with vBulletin 3.6.8, so I guess it would work fine with vB 3.6.7!! Is that Correct?? :confused:

My Best Regards, sabret00the!! ;)

:)

In case the Hack will be Used in the "groups" folder inside the folder of the forums like "forums" (ROOT/forum/groups/), the "/tools/grps_installer.php" should have the Sentence in the file "/INCLUDES/config_grps.php":

chdir("../");

I think that the option

chdir("../forums/");

should be used when "groups" is Installed in the same level that the "forums" Folder, where the vBulletin Forums are Installed, like (ROOT/groups/), in the file "/INCLUDES/config_grps.php"!!

So if you'll have the "groups" folder inside the "forums" folder, the use the first Option in the file "/INCLUDES/config_grps.php":

chdir("../");

My Best Regards!! :up:

:)

thanks for this great mod!

got a quick question, how do I add this to show correctly in the who's online list?
so it will show user is "Viewing Groups".

I recently noticed that group members including leaders can only reply via the quick reply box. If they click on "New Reply" or "go advanced" in the quick reply box, upon submission this error shows:

However if simply using the quick reply box, it works.

Hey. Great hack...but at my Groups Commune...users cannot edit their own posts. I checked the permissions a couple of times. I allowed the usergroup to edit their own posts at GPRS but there is no edit button.

Can someone plese tell me what to do?

thanks in advance.

Having trouble installing on my test server

error below anyone?

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/qualiud2/public_html/test/forums/groups/includes/config_grps.php on line 15

Warning: require_once(./global.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/qualiud2/public_html/test/forums/groups/tools/grps_installer.php on line 36

you haven't configured your config_grps.php correctly.

as for problems editing posts. i'll get onto monday.

Any solution for this yet?

Hi,

Just installed. I get this message when I go to my groups site:

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.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

OK well this mod is good but the install file is horrible I cannot understand it and this isn't working for my board. Where is the mysql !?

Its the user thats horrible, not the installation file. If you cant understand it, ask for help...dont criticize the mod.

So if my forum URL is /vbulletin I've tried many times the installer will not work read throught most of the posts doesn't work..

I have the limit set at one so a user and only join 1 group, can I show that group on their postbit_legacy?

Is there a code for that?

I would greatly appreciate it!

And one other think, is their a way to change the word group on every page to clan instead. Where would I go about editing that?

1/ nothing that already exists.

2/ you'd have to edit the phrases.

if your forums is at yoursite.com/vbulletin and yourgroups is at yoursite.com/groups

then your config should read chdir('../vbulletin/');

the mysql is in the groups/tools/install.php

you haven't set your usergroup permissions

Thanks sabret00the

Mod seems to be working fine, can't waite for 3.0 with group images!

Awesome mod!!!

Two things

I know that we are going to have group logos in the new 3.0. But how come I can't see the image button and post an image.

And why isn't wysiwyg editor in the box description when you first post the group?

Thanks,

Sabret00the,
How many days do you need for GROUPs3.0?

Many thanks for this, Sabre!

I have to honestly say (sappy testimonial warning) that this mod will completely change the "tone" of my web site. My site has become a "complaint department" because it lacked distinct areas for members to focus their energy and boredom. With the fresh wipe of my site and the addition of your wonderful mod, people will have 'clubs' to belong to and focus their attention on community building, instead of bashing. Based on how central my site has become to our lives and others' (it is a subdivision web site for where we live), it will help change our offline life for the better as well.

Thanks again!! I'm sure that most bugs have been reported in the 130 pages of posts, but in case my members find any more, I'll let you know :)

I have just a quick question, I hope someone might be able to help me...

In the Add my groups to UserCP plugin, it looks like New Post counts are supposed to appear under the group name/image in UserCP. It doesn't look like it's doing that for me... did I miss a configuration option?

Oops - one more 'bug' (this really might be me lol), the browse groups and the 'latest group activity' sideblock on the Groups main page had my alt1 and alt2 colors alternating like they should; however, it was also throwing in black in there as a cell color, so some things were difficult to read.

I manually edited the templates to just display the cell background as white instead of alternating.

Thanks again!! And happy late birthday Sabre!

can i have any demo site using it?
i want to see it. :)
checked screenshots and seems interesting though i wld like to see on any forum.

Can't wait for 3.0

ok I am doing something wrong please help.

When I go to add a category I hit save and get this

I have everything installed right, but my forums' skin isn't showing up the right way. How can I get my images to show up correctly? Just need to know where and how. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Check this post.

Maybe you can fix the problem with this mod.

I think there was also an install script that you need to run, which should create those missing tables for you?

cant get to the installer

nevermind I have been trying this for 2 days now. I give up

thanks anyway

I was wondering if someone can point me ni the right direction to make a page where the new posts in my groups show up, or even just a link to the group and the number of new posts? That would be most helpful.

nevermind

any online demos for this? I wish to see it in action before installing it if possible.

How do you join a group? It seems dumb, but I can't seem to find a Join button anywhere...

When viewing a Group, there is a Group Options drop-down menu on the upper-right. There is a Join (or Leave) option there.

If you don't see it, ensure that your usergroup is allowed to join groups.

Is there a 'new posts' function in this yet? I posted about it a few months back, but haven't seen a response.

Mum,

No, I haven't seen a New Posts feature. I did, though, modify the plugin that displays Groups in your UserCP to show "New Posts" if there are new posts.

If that would be helpful, let me know, and I'll post my modification (it is very simple/rudimentary).

So it lists the Groups New Posts? Or just a Group name if it has a New Post?

It shows "New Posts" under the group's name if there are new posts.

Unfortunately I haven't found a way to list the new posts in the groups, just to note if there is new activity.
