i made a quick change in function verify_viewer($id, $type) which works but i've had to hard code it i'd like a nicer solution for it but it'll do for a temp solution.

[AN-net]

remove all clauses of

PHP Code:

$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6 


[xfaethorx]

that kind of been my approach but i've set it so that one administrators account can't be viewed by any other admin account but he can see every other administrators journal and entries.

Any chances of getting some kind of permissions settings for this in the next version?

i've had to make other changes in journal.php to make sure no one who knows or tries to guess an entry link can view it via printentry or editentry..even delete entry if someone just wants to try and mangle a journal....

[AN-net]

probably not the next beta but the one after it definately my current version i am working on overhauls the front end message system.

Some Questions:
is it now possible to sort the journals by categories and to change the autor?

there are no categories in this version and probably not till version 2. the author can not be changed through front-end. again that is probably not a likely feature until version 2. the main focus of 1.5 is to improve the basic system we have right now. version 2 will extend 1.5 by adding more frivulous features.
