This is BETA test.

Version 4.0 beta 1

I'm just running through this beta so some of you guys can test the 2 changes before I make it an official release. There 'should' be no issue with this version but I just want it tested first.

1) If you dont have custom bbcodes, you should not get an error anywhere.

2) Additional usergroups are checked to see if they can use a BBCode if the Primary Usergroup has the permission turned off. If ANY of the user's usergroups have the setting 'enable advanced bbcode permissions' turned OFF, then it will be TURNED OFF for the user and he gets the forum default. If ALL a users usergroups have it set to ON, then it will check through all the usergroups and get a 'yes' even if only an additional usergroup has it set to yes.

Please post feedback quickly. I would like to release this ASAP.

Just import the new file into products. No need to uninstall.

I have custom BBCodes.

I installed it and recieved no errors.

I have one primary group (Registered Users), where ABBCode is enabled. No Links ([URL], [EMAIL], [THREAD], [POST]) BBCode allowed.

I also have a custom group (Established User), where ABBCode is also enabled. Links allowed.

When user is member of Registered User group (Default - Primary) only - no Links work in post.

When user is member of Registered User group (Default - Primary) and Established User (Custom group - additional group) - Links work in post.

To add the additional membership I use a simple "Promotions".

Reputation Comparison Type      : Greater or Equal to
    
Reputation Level     : 10 (Default setting for registered user)
    
Days Registered     :30
    
Posts     : 10
    
Promotion Strategy : Posts and Reputation and Date     
Promotion Type: Additional Usergroups
    
Move User to Usergroup : Established User

The custom BBCodes, although listed for "Yes/No" option of enable/disable are not enforced. All default BBCodes work!

Otherwise - YEAH!

hmmm... That was wierd... Now it does not work.

Does every group has to have ABBCode turned on, even if the user is not member, or just the ones the user is part of?

------------------

It works.

It does require some watching. Not enabling it in one group where the member belongs, would by default give the rights to the user. So for example if it is NOT enabled on Miserable User group - they GET the rights.

I think it should "ignore" a group if the user is member, and ABBCode is not enabled.
------

It would be sweet if the BBCodes would be "removed" or parsed out.
Would be really cool if we can replace the bbcode with a language variable.

This had will not update any posts that have cached copies until they are re-done.

If a user is part of a usergroup that does NOT have 'use advanced permissions' on, then this is the BEST option for the user and the hack will use these settings. I would recommened turning this option to ON for all usergroups so you dont get any problems.

[libertate]

Maybe a "Global" setting for ABBCode?

It would not really be a "root" setting, only a 'mass copy from' settings...

Set all options, then it copies/propagates to all groups? Then one can go back to the specific ones and modify them?

This mod destroyes bbcode like

[*URL="http://www.url1.com/picture1.jpg][IMG*]http://www.url1.com/picture2.jpg[/IMG*][/URL*]

by adding wired spaces to the url so that the whole code is broken, I checked and this only appears with advanced permissions activated for that group and also only with the product enabled. I do not have any other bbcode changing mods installed.

I had to add * into to code because code actually IS parsed inside of the "code" bbcode, is that a mistake?

You are missing the end quote for the URL

This was just an example, forget about the quote ... it isn't just happening once but on all linked images.
