Indeed

No one can answer this?

Can anyone verify that Moderate and Modify are working properly?

Also, what exactly is the difference between Moderate and Modify? And what exactly is the "Private" and "Online Status" for?

I never noticed that problem in the first place and I've been using and modifying this hack from the beginning. If it makes you feel better, I don't see the problem with this release. In fact, this modified release does pretty much everything I could hope for it to do, and is by far the most stable.

I HAVE tried it out. Last April I reported this bug:

---

There are still problems with the "Modify" and "Moderate" functions and the "Online" selection.

Now, when Online Status is "No", you can moderate, but not modify (as before).

When Online Status is "Yes", you can't moderate OR modify now. Under "modify" it lists the number of bugs but doesn't display them in the list.

What exactly is the difference between the "Modify" function and the "Moderate" function? They both seem to do the same thing.

---

So what would be the problem with someone who has installed it more recently letting me know if this is fixed so that I don't have to install it again if it still has problems?

I can't speak for the fact that you haven't noticed those problems; maybe they've been fixed. Last April it had the issues I described. Not show-stopping bugs by any means, but I'm wondering if it has been fixed. I don't think I deserve a hard time for asking a simple question, I'm not attacking the hack, I think it's a great hack. I would just like an answer to my questions before I re-install it.

[ixian]

I can modify or moderate any bug with the current version.

If you have permissions set so only one group can add/comment on bugs in the first place, then there really isn't any difference between modify or moderate, at least that I can see. I believe they are there to be used with different usergroup permissions exist. Come to think of it, that might be a feature that was intended to be added but never was - I've never needed it, but I can't find an option for usergroup settings now (beyond selecting one usergroup as a master "admin" group).

In any case, I can modify any bug I want via the cp, so if that's the problem you were most concerned about, it's fixed.

I would upgrade to this last fix by Olate in any case, the email feature is huge and when I ran a file compare I saw he made a ton of minor fixes and query optimizations.

[HellRazor]

Sounds like it's time to re-install. Had it on an older test forum earlier, was just going to hold off until those minor issues had been smoothed out. Good to see the code being worked on again, thanks for your help!

[Fish UK]

Most of it has installed great and this will be a very useful tool for my site. The only thing I don't seem to get to work is the Assignment. I set it to the Administrators group as they are the only people who will be doing any bug-fixing but it only shows as 'Unassigned' in the pulldown box. I set this both in the bugs.php and in the control panel. Is there something I am doin wrong?

[Freezerator]

I would be greatly thankfull, if there would be an possibillity to manual install this.

I am thinking to make this work with report to post, and have an ticketcenter for my moderators.

But the problem is, i don't know or can import the languae or settings

I installed the bugtracker on our test-forum using HTL and it seems to be working fine (using the CVS-files) but I stumbled on 2 errors:

- choosing another style results in a blank bugs.php page even after reuploading the bugs.php-file
- setting "online" to "no" when creating an new bug report results in the following error message
(when editing a bug and setting "online" to "no" it does work though)

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: construct_errors() in /var/www/vhosts/forumtest2/forum/bugs.php on line 419

Btw. Whats the "online"-option for anyways?
