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.

I am not sure why your problem exists, is it literally just that link?

what's the exact database error? and what's the url or the 404?

that's a usergroup permission problem, not a bug. please set your usergroup permissions to allow guests to view groups.

I am logged in as admin so what have I missed?

This is an improvement as I didn't get past errors before, so I am getting there.
Go to your AdminCP -> Usergroup Manager

Once there, you can choose usergroups to give GPRS permissions to by clicking Edit Usergroup and scrolling down to the bottom

i'm just waiting on RonoxQ's feedback before i release RC3, this release will update one file (index.php), add a new file (grps_deleter.php) and fix the missing phrases from the admincp.

[hr]x[/hr]

I also had a PM from someone wanting to translate the hack, and i'll reply here so as that all hack communities world-wide know the deal. if you'd like to translate the hack, i'm against it. however if you'd like to phrase the hack. that's a different story. if you're like to take the hard coded text, convert them to phrases (literally a copy and past job of which i'm bound to get round to sooner or later), you're allowed to do that, however i'll still only allow you to redistribute the phrases and not the full hack.

Ara-ara-ara, that sounds confusing :ermm:

Aha! I guess one should never assume admins have full permissions! Thanks JayJay.

It's working, although I have some links going to the wrong places (no biggie, I will get that sorted).

This is going to be just great on my forum. Thanks sabret00the.
