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.

Also, What gallery do you use? Any plans on possibly adding gallery support?

Thanks!

group leaders will be able to choose group avatars in future but not during the group creation process. though that's not a bad idea so might implement that later down the line of development.

It would be cool to have a random group showing in a vba cmps.

I am also trying to get a zoints block for this if it is possible. That would just be the tip of the iceberg.

E.g. as the groups are being shown in the usercp, the same could be shown in the zoints userprofiles!

But your hack is already among the greatest sabret00the!!!
i really don't have zoints or vbadvanced cmps installed so i'm not sure what you'd have to do. i'll try and throw in an easier means of grabbing info from the groups for 3.0

you can only swap the random pictures and that would be by replacing them manually on your server. keeping the same filename structure.

GENERAL UPDATE: Development slowed a whole lot for various different reasons and i missed my target to take 3.0 to beta. Development has now sped up once more. However i'm not quite at a stage as to give another projected ETA for either beta, RC or Gold. Should i get back into the swing of things i'll try and sort that out for you all.

To give you some idea of where i'm at. Most of the front end functionality is now complete. I'm going to finish off the posting type stuff (viewing threads, making posts, editing posts, making new threads) next (most of that is done, but alas i'm tweaking and that might have a knock on effect.

The next port of call will then be the back-end. I'm really wanting to make the link rewriting and automated, graceful, professional and GUI driven. In it's current form 3.x using an XML to do link lookups and replacements and so the onus on me will be to make sure that's easily editable via the admincp.

After that i'm then onto the admincp in whole. Just basically making new versions of the current pages that encompass the new functionality. This step may actually come after the beta (well the depth of it anyway) so i know exactly what users may want to edit.

From there, it's about tighter integration. People have requested RSS's (not sure what you'd all want them to show. Answers greatly appreciated) and search integration. The latter is my preference and could be the key to making most of you happy in one swoop, so one eye is one that from now.

Then i guess we're onto would be the installer. Thus far i've had a lot of complaints about the lack instructions, installer. So i'm going to make that a lot easier on everyone and basically wrap it all up in a pretty little bun.

After all that i'm going to move onto tweaking the gallery images. I'm considering cropping resized thumbnails to make them uniform in size instead of just resizing them and leaving so much to variance. However i've not decided yet. But alas this will probably definitely come after beta.

Your only real enemy for progress in regards to 3.0 is paid work. Given the time of year, it's excellent to have a little extra in my pocket so i'm always on the lookout as far as that goes. but it's a fairly straight forward process right now and most, if not all of my stresses in regards to technical problems holding this up are in the past.

Anything you feel i might've forgotten, feel free to open up for discussion. For all of those waiting for 3.0 and showing support as a few of you have. I'm really grateful and i really hope to make you happy with 3.0. Though i bet you, i get a wave of complaints due to the fact that i move away from vBulletin's way of handling things on quite a few different aspects of 3.0. For some it's bad, for me, it's about adding it's own presence and hopefully it'll be a direction that vBulletin takes, but ultimately i feel it's best for the product in the long run.

i am having this problems and i don't understand what i've done wrong

Admin you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

added modifications to code (including in config_gprs)
added files
added plugin
runned the installer
Are the groups turned on? YES

i have my forums in the root and i acces the groups thru www.domain.com/groups and my forum thru www.domain.com
i use vb 3.6.5

what could be wrong??? please assist

It sounds like you forgot to set your usergroup permissions.
