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.

Sorry to bug you again, but I had another question:

I added a 'groups' link to the nav bar using this code:
Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.afkay.com/forums/groups/" accesskey="5">Groups</a></td>
It works just fine. Something weird happens though. I also have Zoints installed, which shows up as a link saying "AFKAY Profile" to the left of it. For some reason, when I go to my groups home page, that "AFKAY Profile" link changes to "AFKAY Groups Profile". Everything seems to be functioning fine, it's just a small 'problem'.

Here is what I am talking about (the bottom picture is what it should look like. The top picture is what it changes to on the groups home page):


It still functions just fine, so no big deal if no one can help me. Just being a bit nit picky right now.

GREAT MOD by the way, my members and I love it. Keep up the good work.

that is the result of a string replacement made for the breadcrumb. i'll find a more suitable method for it in 3.0.

Hi,

first: sorry for my bad english, i hope you'll understand...

I want to build an community and GRPS was(?) is what im looking for. but i can't delete postings. when i delete one it's always on teh threadlist.

I have created an screencapture (flash format), so you can take a look on it: removed

I've looked for an solution to fix this in this thread but i found nothing useful. Im using GRPS 2.0.10

I hope anyone can help me to fix this. The community plattform should be finished next week.

Greetings,
Florian

EDIT: I have noticed that the newsfeed has no contents after "deleting" the posts.

I just noticed sabert00the has fixed it for 2.0.11, but in the meantime, here's the fix for that:

Find this line (line 250) in groups/newreply.php:
Code:
	$navbits['viewthread.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . 't=' . $threadinfo['threadid']] = $threadinfo['title'];
and replace it with
Code:
	$navbits['viewthread.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . 't=' . $threadinfo['threadid'] . '&g=' . $foruminfo['groupid']] = $threadinfo['title'];

You are essentially pasting
Code:
. '&g=' . $foruminfo['groupid']
right after
Code:
$threadinfo['threadid']
on line 250 of groups/newreply.php

Nice catch, btw! :up:

No, I do not have any products/modifications installed that have anything to do with custom styles, and yes, It's happening within viewthread.php only.

I'll PM you the URL to the group now.

PS: Group description parses img vbcode but viewthread.php doesn't and instead displays the direct link to the image.

I'm unable to use vBadvanced 3.0's integrate function on either browse.php or groups.php.

browse.php generates the following error:
Code:
PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare fetch_avatar_url() (previously declared in /ideletedmypath/forums/includes/functions_user.php:259) in /ideletedmypath/forums/includes/functions_grps.php on line 32
It seems to be related to this line, specifically the "OR" part:

Code:
if (!function_exists('fetch_avatar_url') OR THIS_SCRIPT != 'groupshome')
I think it needs to use a different method to determine whether to pull the function without using the "OR" statement. By using vBa's integration code, the THIS_SCRIPT variable seems to allow the function to be called again. A nested if seems to work, but I'm not the expert on this code.

Now then, groups.php creates a blank page with no error related to the vBa integration.

This is all I see inside the generated html:

Code:
<!-- END TEMPLATE: navbar -->
<table class="page" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tbody>
<tr valign="top">
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: footer -->
I assume that something in the groups.php is unique that clears out the variables used by vBa so it thinks there's no content to insert.

Here's is the adv_portal template, and you can that there are three if statements that display content in three columns. I think those variables are lost, which would cause the error:

Code:
<table align="center" class="page" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">
	<tr valign="top">
		<if condition="$show['left_column']">
			<td width="$vba_style[portal_leftcolwidth]"<if condition="$show['center_column'] OR $show['right_column']"> style="padding-right: $vba_style[portal_colspacing]px"</if>>
				$home[leftblocks]
			</td>
		</if>
		<if condition="$show['center_column']">
			<td valign="top">
				$home[centerblocks]
			</td>
		</if>
		<if condition="$show['right_column']">
			<td valign="top" width="$vba_style[portal_rightcolwidth]"<if condition="$show['center_column'] OR $show['left_column']"> style="padding-left: $vba_style[portal_colspacing]px"</if>>
				$home[rightblocks]
			</td>
		</if>
	</tr>
</table>

Whew! I do, however, get this error in my error.log file with groups.php all the time, whether I'm using vBa or not:

Code:
script '/ideletedmypath/groups/cron.php' not found or unable to stat
It looks like the path to /ideletedmypath/forums/cron.php gets lost somewhere.

Any ideas?

I feel like I'm close to wrapping up my initial development and this is holding me up, so any help would be appreciated.

EDIT:

invitation.php, membership.php and viewmembers.php have the same blank page output as groups.php when vBa 3.0 integration is used.


EDIT: Blank page fix for vBa 3.0 Integration

I was able to solve the problem with groups.php, invitation.php, membership.php and viewmembers.php and vBa 3.0 Integration by adding the following line into the "PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES and DATA" area near the top of each affected script:

Code:
// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();
I also moved the "get special phrase groups" code to the top of that "section" so they would mirror the layout of the other working php files.

EDIT: Possible fix for PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare fetch_avatar_url()

I think the nested if statement is working as a fix for the php fatal error from the functions_grps.php file:

I changed this:

Code:
if (!function_exists('fetch_avatar_url') OR THIS_SCRIPT != 'groupshome')
{
... some code ...
}
to this:
Code:
if (!function_exists('fetch_avatar_url'))
{
if (THIS_SCRIPT != 'groupshome')
{
... some code ...
}
}
So far, everything seems to be working. I may have been able to change the OR to an AND to achieve a similar effect. I'm still rusty.

Rats! It was going well until I noticed my group leader avatar was missing.

The image is pointing to "Array":

Code:
<td align="center" valign="top">
	<strong>Group Leader</strong><br>
	<img title="Group Leader: Test Leader" src="Array" alt="Group Leader: Test Leader"><br>
	Test Leader
</td>
Very odd... Any ideas?
