The options are commented out in the usergroup and the dataitems do not seem to be added to the database. Is this something that will be enabled in a future release. I tried uncommenting them but got a DB error.

Thanks. Great Job

yes those will be used in a future release, admins have those powers anyway

Silver Dawn,

Works excellently. However, I have a problem. We also run the Articles Hack on our forum. This popular hack uses plugin usergroup permission bitfields like yours (in includes/init.php). There seems to be a conflict because I can't properly set the permissions without it jumping between article permissions and journal permissions. And I'm afraid deleting the articles feature is really not an option because that's what our site is all about. I'm talking about this piece of code (the first part is your custom fields, the second is the Article Hack's):

PHP Code:


			
// field names for journal permissions

$_BITFIELD['usergroup']['journalpermissions'] = array(

    'canviewjournal'            => 1,

    'canhavejournal'            => 2,

    'canviewcomments'            => 4,

    'cancommentjournals'          => 8,

    'canratejournals'            => 16,

    'canreportentries'        => 32,

    'caneditownjournal'        => 64,

    'caneditownentries'        => 128,

    'candeleteownjournal'         => 256,

    'candeleteownentries'         => 512,

    'cansearchjournal'        => 1024 //,

//     'caneditothersjournal'        => 2048,

//     'caneditothersentries'        => 4096,

//     'candeleteothersjournal'      => 8192,

//     'candeleteothersentries'      => 16384

);



// ### INSERT PLUGIN USERGROUP PERMISSIONS BITFIELDS HERE ###

// ----------------------------------------------------------



$_BITFIELD['usergroup']['articlepermissions'] = array(

    'canviewarticles'        => 1,

    'canviewcomments'        => 2,

    'canpostarticles'        => 4,

    'cancomment'             => 8,

    'canedownart'            => 16,

    'canedothart'            => 32,

    'candelownart'            => 64,

    'candelothart'            => 128,

    'canfeature'            => 256,

    'cansearchart'            => 512,

    'canratearticles'        => 1024,

    'canviewartmedia'        => 2048

);



// ----------------------------------------------------------

// ###  END PLUGIN USERGROUP PERMISSIONS BITFIELDS HERE   ###

ok change the journals permissions to the following:

PHP Code:


			
// field names for journal permissions

$_BITFIELD['usergroup']['journalpermissions'] = array(

    'canviewjournal'            => 1,

    'canhavejournal'            => 2,

    'canviewjournalcomments'            => 4,

    'cancommentjournals'          => 8,

    'canratejournals'            => 16,

    'canreportentries'        => 32,

    'caneditownjournal'        => 64,

    'caneditownentries'        => 128,

    'candeleteownjournal'         => 256,

    'candeleteownentries'         => 512,

    'cansearchjournal'        => 1024 //,

//     'caneditothersjournal'        => 2048,

//     'caneditothersentries'        => 4096,

//     'candeleteothersjournal'      => 8192,

//     'candeleteothersentries'      => 16384

);

and in journal.php
change find:

PHP Code:


			
if($permissions['journalpermissions'] & CANVIEWCOMMENTS)

{

    $canview['comments']= true;

}

else

{

    $canview['comments']= false;

}

replace that with:

PHP Code:


			
if($permissions['journalpermissions'] & CANVIEWJOURNALCOMMENTS)

{

    $canview['comments']= true;

}

else

{

    $canview['comments']= false;

}

in usergroup.php find:

PHP Code:


			
print_yes_no_row("Can View Comments", 'usergroup[canviewcomments]', $ug_bitfield['canviewcomments']);

replace that with:

PHP Code:


			
print_yes_no_row("Can View Comments", 'usergroup[canviewjournalcomments]', $ug_bitfield['canviewjournalcomments']);

that should fix the conflict

hmm..

Nope dont think i have debug on, i thought id leave the functions.php as it is without editing and the mod seems to work well now o.O

Silverdawn222 · #**116** 09-18-2004, 03:13 PM

Thanks AN-Net, it worked great! I still have a slightly annoying problem - see the screenshot below.

Ah, er.. so.. this is a good work!

Gratz

yes they can choose the order for the journals on the index but inside a journal they can not since a journal goes from the first page to the last

colors and setup are not available in this version but in future versions yes, locking can only be done by administrators currently

AN-net · #**120** 09-18-2004, 04:13 PM

For complete compatiably upload the following updated journal.php file

this update will make it so that if a link/url is put in without a url bbocode tags that it will be parsed anyways
