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

Guys stop trying to install this on 3.5.x boards, this was written for 3.0.x, a 3.5.x version actually got a small unscheduled update by me today. but hasn't been released yet. i won't give a release date due to the fact it hinges on me finishing a blog modification i'm working on so i can upgrade my site. that said if 3.6.0 is released before i release this, i will release for 3.6.0 and not 3.5.x.

MisterPopularity is not running GRPS instead he's running vBgroups which is another seperate modification.

correct!

mine is a commercial product, and the thread it was on here was deleted :-X

so everyone please stop asking me to port this hack to 3.5 :tired:

people mention money on here and they tend to get deleted

A very cool hack as only I got it to work on my 3.0.3...

I'm currently facing this error:

Warning: main(./includes/config.grps): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/soundchi/public_html/groups/viewgroups.php on line 46

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './includes/config.grps' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/soundchi/public_html/groups/viewgroups.php on line 46

Is there a quick fix for the above?

it seems the file www.yoursite.com/groups/includes/config.grps is missing.

Nope. it sits all tight there. Just to make sure... I wonder weather the forum path is corrects in config.grps.php

PHP Code:

chdir("../loud_lounge/"); 


My forum directory is loud_lounge instead of forums. What about the double dots syntax - is that correct?

Thanks for the fast reply.

Hmmm... A couple notes:
1) shouldn't the file name be config_grps.php instead of config.grps.php in viewgroups.php at line 46 as that is the name of the file in groups/includes. I changed the name and thye error went away.

2) Unfortunately immediately followed by another error message:

Warning: main(./includes/functions_grps.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/soundchi/public_html/groups/viewgroups.php on line 73

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './includes/functions_grps.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/soundchi/public_html/groups/viewgroups.php on line 73

If the functions_grps.php file is supposed to be found at forums/includes directory there ain't one (it isn't included at the mod files at all - at least in my downloaded v 4. The closest match is functions_grps_editgroup.php can you confirm the made corrections are ok?

Thanks,

I'm the admin and logged in as one, but can not create a new group at groups main page (http://www.soundchilds.net/groups/)

I've allowed all functions set via usergroup options. Where do you suggest I start checking this one?

Could this be related somehow with the above: The General Settings in admin cp show the radio buttons and text fields but no text descriptions. How could I get them to appear? The attchment is a screenie.

Checking this out with Firefox v1.5.0.6

Some more troubles found?
1) Launching /root/groups/editgroup.php or moderategroup.php gives following error

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare fetch_textarea_width() (previously declared in /home/soundchi/public_html/loud_lounge/includes/functions_editor.php:19) in /home/soundchi/public_html/loud_lounge/includes/functions_grps_editgroup.php on line 6

2) I changed all secondary usergroup permissions I am a member of also to allow group establishment. Unfortunately this still gives me the No permissions message. Where is the data inserted at the db controlling these permissions?

3) Apparently most of the files in root/groups folder needs to change the

PHP Code:

require_once("./includes/functions_grps.php"); 


to

PHP Code:

require_once("./includes/functions_grps_editgroup.php"); 


to get rid of the

Warning: main(./includes/functions_grps.php): failed to open stream? etc.

error.

4) root/groups/postings.php and reply.php report.php all show a blank page.

5) Trying to open root/groups/search.php takes me back to the root/groups/.

So? All in all this mod still is quite messed up. I?m all for thesting this through, but my skills as a coder are at pretty much noob level so I?m not gonna be able to sort this out alone. Sabret00the are you (or anyone else) putting up with the effort to get this actually working for vb 3.0.X?

Thanks for any info!

Honestly, no. i've currently got a working version for 3.5.x thanks to Harry for his efforts, but won't know how battle ready that is for a week or two. large parts had to be completely rewritten and i just wouldn't say that this 3.0.x version is owrth the hassle given the huge leap between versions.
