GRPS: Groups Commune 2.0.x · **Released**: 09-22-2006

Welcome ladies and gentleman, this is the release thread for GRPS, an interactive groups commune. I hope you enjoy this release and i sincerely hope it provides everything to your community in which you're looking for.

What is it?
It's a groups commune. The original idea is that forums with lots and lots of forums on the front-page suck, as a result i thought most of the conversation was rather obscure in regards to what the forums were trying to achieve, so it'd be nice to have that all going on elsewhere, not detracting away from the content and stopping your front-page from looking like a car crash.

Special Thanks to harry1951, without his help testing and his recommendations, this would've never ended up the way it did.

Honestly, i can't think of anything else, if you appreciate the work gone into this mod, please donate (in GBP)

(right click open in new window)

Hopefully you all appreciate that i just relaunched my site and rather than soak up the atmosphere there or go out drinking i came to release this tonight.

Screens below, rest to your right

Please note this mod does work with 3.5.x

PLEASE DO NOT JOIN MY SITE IN A BID TO PLAY WITH IT OR HAVE A LOOK AT IT FURTHER, MY SITE IS SOMETHING I VALUE FOR BEING SOMEWHERE I CAN CHILL AT, IT'S NOT A TEST SUITE OR DEMO!

    $show['spacer'] = TRUE;

now go into your admincp and where it says 'Strings To Find In "viewthread.php"' add:

, <div style="padding:0px 25px">

to the very end.

now for 'Strings To Replace In "viewthread.php"' add:

PHP Code:


			
, <div style="padding:0px 0px">

and that will fix your problem.

Hello
Ok I am change $show['spacer'] = TRUE; = ok
<div style="padding:0px 25px"> = ok
<div style="padding:0px 0px"> = ok

But problem continual

:cry: :cry:

I have vbplaza and Petz installed, these show gifts and a small swf file in the postbit.
These arent working correctly, i could just make another gifts image folder in the groups folder to fix the vbplaza images, but the petz file is another matter.
So is there a way to use postbit legacy in groups instead of postbit which is used in the rest of the forum? I have no modifications made to postbit legacy and it would work fine..

in your admincp grps options, there's an option for postbit replacements, that's what you're after.

Go into your admincp and where it says 'Strings To Find In "viewthread.php"' change the text to:

PHP Code:


			
image.php, src="customavatars/, src="images/smilies/, member.php, private.php, search.php, sendmessage.php, profile.php, <!-- / post #, imwindow, 200); return false;">, images/avatars/, <span id="reputationmenu, Reputation" border="0" /></a></span>, src="$stylevar['imgdir_button']/infraction.gif", <div style="padding:0px 25px">

and where it says 'Strings To Replace In "viewthread.php"' change that to:

PHP Code:


			
$vbulletin->options['bburl']/image.php, src="$vbulletin->options['bburl']/customavatars/, src="$vbulletin->options['bburl']/images/smilies/, $vbulletin->options['bburl']/member.php, $vbulletin->options['bburl']/private.php, $vbulletin->options['bburl']/search.php, $vbulletin->options['bburl']/sendmessage.php, $vbulletin->options['bburl']/profile.php, <hr style="visibility: hidden; padding: 0.25em 0 0 0; margin: 0; line-height: 0em" />{nn}<!-- / post #, grps_imwindow, 200,'$vbulletin->options['bburl']'); return false;">, $vbulletin->options['bburl']/images/avatars/, <!-- <span id="reputationmenu, Reputation" border="0" /></a></span> -->, src="$vbulletin->options['bburl']/clear.gif" width="0" height="0", <div style="padding:0px 0px">

and then let me know if the problem still exists.

Yikes,
I was talking about attachments.
The photo thing will be cool also, but I was curious if there will be the ability to add attachments into the group threads.

Im a happy camper now, thanks so much!
