GRPS: Commune For Groups (Dev:Beta)
It's in beta but it's only on like beta 3 lol, basically it's got a few bugs in it, i couldn't fix and i knew that their were one or two people that wanted this, as it's more a dev version i'm gonna forego the big sale and just tell you what it does
what's it do: it enables groups to talk. live demo: www.ebslive.com/groups spawning: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=58283 ok now you've checked all that info out, let's get on with it, i'm posting this here simply because i need the help of the coders here, it's no one of those hacks where you can install, report a bug and expect a fix in a matter of hours, infact it's more like report a bug and post the fix with it. known bugs: postings.php: let's just say the file don't work at all viewthread.php: can't get the posting behaviour right, you can't quote at the moment for some reason and the quick reply is just generally quirky, the WYSIWYG don't work so right now it loads the Enhanced instead. ok regarding credit: i need to thank everyone here, marco, kirby, dean, stefan, revan, filburt, amy, noppid, brad and many more, a second thanks to stefan and marco who seemed more than willing to help me with so much including stupid questions i should've known, the everybody who's a mod of the php forum who didn't ban me. ok now to get on with it. here you go, test and hopefully i'll be able to get a final out sometime soon :) latest upload: 06/05/05 12:52 (GMT) |
does this use public usergroups built into vb or this completely separate?
|
Cool hack.
I'll wait for the final release though ;) |
Quote:
new "root/groups/viewgroups.php": it's not in the zip and it fixes a problem with viewing groups. |
Meh, got yourself an install anyway, I'm in a good mood today :D
|
/me as usual, will make a comment...
<< hum ?! >> ok, let's see if i can fix this thing out! -- will have to make a clean install of vB though.. lol |
the more the merrier :)
|
first impressions:
1- i really appreciate the independance of the code structure... 2- good to have a startup pack of images... 3- good to use the HIS! .. i did not even installed it, and i love it. ;) [high]* nexialys will take the supper time to install and see what are the bugs... [/high] @sabre, can you list the entire list of bugs ?! (known ones!) |
will do but i'm just on my way out so i will get onto it when i get back (probably the morning as i'm in the uk and it's like 10 pm already)
note to self: zip up the text-free images. |

FIRST DEBUG SESSION:
in the install process: file to edit: install/hacks/GRPS/x/queries.php $query['new'][] = 'ALTER TABLE ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'usergroup ADD arcadepermissions INT(10) UNSIGNED DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL'; is useless, and try to override some ARCADE permission.. ;) EDIT: not useless, just error: $query['new'][] = 'ALTER TABLE ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'usergroup ADD grpspermissions INT(10) UNSIGNED DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL'; also, change the " ` " for " \' " .. or the queries does not finish in some mysql servers. .. and these queries at the end ... $query['new'][] = 'INSERT INTO grps_categories are missing their ending " ) " ... OTHER EDIT: ??In your /forums/includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php file: .. there is two occurences of what you need to replace... this is not stated in the process... ??In your /forums/clientscript/vbulletin_editor.js.php file: this thing to modify: window.open("../forums/misc.php you need to edit it more properly and indicate the proper url to your forum, the ../forum is not the same for everyone! ??In your /forums/admincp/adminfunctions_template.php file: 'groups' => 'GRPS', <<< add the " ' " please... to be PHP perfect! ??In your /forums/includes/functions.php file: \/\/ declares the arcade image directory <<< ARCADE ghost ?! these \/\/ are not legal comments... use // always !!! ??In your navbar template: search have to be modified for a default install (missing the accesskey thing!): <span class="navbar"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]" accesskey="1">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a></span> and replaced by this: <span class="navbar"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]" accesskey="1">$vboptions[hometitle]<if condition="THIS_AREA == groups"> Groups<else /> $vboptions[bbtitle]</if></a></span> (btw, will need a $vbphrase for the title!) |
ok, more debugs:
big problem about urls and paths... on a clean install, there is no modification forcing to add complete paths for images and javascripts, even if you added some in this install... you will need something like in vBadvanced... ya know, this: PHP Code:
|
so, nexialys, does it have your blessing now?
|
Looking forward to this when all the bugs are worked out. ;)
|
more debugging...
grps_catergories in cat_editor has to be fixed. Table name is grps_categories you have that typo in all admin files, search.php and index.php Where are the settings phrases? a lot of the phrases should in front-end error messages instead of redirect mysql error: Unknown column 'grps_setting.hide_image' in 'field list' in group.php for table grps_setting I wonder what this 'grps_setting.hide_image' is? I encountered it twice. I removed in groups.php so I could explore further... then it came back again in invitation.php The whole idea is great, but as posted above, paths and urls are a nightmare. |
I just realised it overwrites some arcade permitions, had to uninstall...
|
ok re-uploaded with all the simpler stuff, also fixed the problem with the hide_image it was added inbetween builds so was only in the update thus never made it into the original installer. the arcade thing is sorted and that's set back to grpspermissions, saying that deaths it should've never actually tried to use the arcade permissions, it should've just not saved permissions.

and nope the existing vB3 setup doesn't offer this functionality. though the groups thing is available , it doesn't offer the groups pages with the same effectivenes :nervous: i'll get round to working on documenting stuff and explaining stuff in the installer a bit later today, just in the middle of trying to find my bug logs :( |
in editgroup.php, I don't understand why
PHP Code:
I commented out //if ($bbuserinfo[groupid] == 6) and checkbox displays properly. I failed to see the logic of that line. If a group owner who is the only one who has access to the group magement wants to know the status of his group, why can't he? |
Look really nice!!! thanks sabret00the for releaseing it... will give it a try once most of the bugs are fixed ;) again... thanks it looks great!

I've sorted out all the paths, got 70% of the bugs removed. I am stucked at appendpost.php. There are a bunch of java errors in there and I cannot edit. Will not allow me to go in the textarea.
|
you know what would be the best for the java thing ?!
simply recreate these javascripts in the GRPS directory... the urls are never properly set because they are located underneath the script, and as we can "move" the script where we want, it's impossible to make it fix in the calls... |

!!!! you are a genius! All I did was copy the clientscript folder in the groups directory... and they all work!!!

this would be a perfect fit for our online community as it has grown to almost 12,000 members...an area to form specific 'groups' is awesome. looking forward to a final release or when it is all de-bugged. :) .... excellent idea and work everyone! |

[/high] btw, with that fix, you don't need to add anyother modification to the .js files in the original install... will help the others! |

Sure not a problem, but I am warning you, this have been customized... plenty of hardcoding all over...
Got your email. I'll do it later tonight. On an unrelated note, I got the other hack you emailed me to work too. |
so just to confirm, all the quoting workings perfectly now?
|
Before I send it back to sabret00the, can some abuse this please? Only the navbar does not work. I made it so guest could temporarily post. But I'd appreciate a quick registration as guests will not be allowed to post in real life.
|
Sent the zip by email. So far so good for me.
|
Any updates on this?
|
I've played with the code a bit but near enough haven't touched any code since, today was the first time i wrote a line of code for a while, the next release will sort out the discussion page problems so if theirs any bugs bar that i'd appreciate if they were reported now, as i'm hoping to do this all in the next few days :)
|
how is this hack working on your site sabret00te?? 70%, 80% looks really nice ;)
|
yeah it's mostly working great, i just gotta get the full paths working but due to a template mod i made for getting photopost to work, the fix breaks other stuff, just gotta try out one or two things (i hope) if all leads well i'll be putting some real time into this by the end of the week :)
|
so if I install the GRPS 1.0 beta 3 it should work on my site at lets say 90, 95%?
|
yup as it is yep but i would say wait till the end of the week to see if i'm able to get a beta 4 out or not.
