Forum Display Control Version 0.7 Beta (DOWNLOAD READY)

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODE POST YOUR PROBLEM! DO NOT WASTE MY TIME WITH STUFF NOT RELATED TO THIS MOD

IF THE MOD EFFECTS OTHER MODS DO NOT POST THAT HERE. THIS WAS NOT MADE TO WORK WITH OTHER MODS. THIS IS A BETA MOD FOR FORUM DISPLAY ONLY!


Forum Display Control Version 0.7 Beta

The forum display control is a simple to use control that will allow your members more easier viewing options. It's fully controled by the Adminstrator so that only forums and categories that allowed to be moved or hidden can be. It follows all permissions that each forum and category uses so that members only see what they are allowed to view. Unregistered members are not effected by the display options because the vBulletin default view is loaded in that instance.


The control is easy to install (2) script edits in one (1) script and the forum control is ready to be used! The templates, language phrases can be loaded via the Admin Panel! The control includes (3) new scripts (1) forum front end script and (2) include scripts, (1) for the front end back end and the other for the adminstrator back end! The admin panel also has (6) edits in (1) admin script (forum.php) The database adds (3) rows to the datastore table and (1) new column for user table!

I was going to do this with JavaScript but so many browsers do not support someof the things that I was needing to do, so everything is done in PHP scripting with only a very minor touch of basic JavaScript for the form actions.

There is full online demo at my mod development forum!

Please make an account to demo the control.

The control can be access by the little icon shown in the image below. As always if anyone needs help or for me to install any mod of my just ask!

Cool! Great Hack!!

Can be a good idea to offer users an option to reset everything to default.

yeah.. that would definetly be something cool

[M1th]

Very interesting concept... might give it a test.

[Cyricx]

Can you please add the fix in post #4 into the zip?

May I also suggest that if yoru going to code it in to use images in a specific folder that isn't there by default, perhaps include those images in a folder named that with instructions to upload it?

[high]* Cyricx heads off to create some images and edit all the img srcs[/high]

Awesome hack, just a few things that will make it easier for the coding impaired

Has anyone gotten this working correctly?

I'm having a helluva time with it. The admin side, with the fixes in post 4, works fine, it saves the settings I set for allowmove and allowhide.

However on the main forums page, when you open up the popup, it lists the right number of rows for the number of forums.. but with no names.. and you cannot move anything around..

Yes the phrases are in, the templates are in, I use a database prefix, so yep, I entered the queries in with a prefix even jumped into phpmyadmin to make sure they were created, rechecked the file edits 3 times, and uploaded the new files 3 times..

I'm betting it's prolly something simple, but right now.. it's kickin my ass lol

Make sure you updated at least one phrase (open and save any phrase without doing anything to it).

My issue is different, but if you install properly, it will work

[Cyricx]

Nope, the phrases are showing up correctly

It's not grabbing the information for what is allowed to move or be hidden for the popup correctly.. I'm guessing it's because i"m using database prefixes... but I can't find a missing " . TABLE_PREFIX . " anywhere in her code...

Here is a pic of what my popup is looking like..

Keep it mind, it appears to be saving everything correctly in the datastore, when I change setitngs in the forum manager, close and reopen it, it has the settings at what I changed them to.

But for some reason, this popup is coming up blank, with no permissions..

[Lionel]

Have you set any forums as allowed in forums settings?

[Cyricx]

Yep, and if I change any of these to no, it remembers that, so it's saving in the datastore...

Do you use a database prefix Lionel?

[Lionel]

i don't
