GRPS: Commune For Groups (Dev:Beta)

It's in beta but it's only on like beta 3 lol, basically it's got a few bugs in it, i couldn't fix and i knew that their were one or two people that wanted this, as it's more a dev version i'm gonna forego the big sale and just tell you what it does

what's it do: it enables groups to talk.

live demo: www.ebslive.com/groups

spawning: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=58283

ok now you've checked all that info out, let's get on with it, i'm posting this here simply because i need the help of the coders here, it's no one of those hacks where you can install, report a bug and expect a fix in a matter of hours, infact it's more like report a bug and post the fix with it.

known bugs:
postings.php: let's just say the file don't work at all
viewthread.php: can't get the posting behaviour right, you can't quote at the moment for some reason and the quick reply is just generally quirky, the WYSIWYG don't work so right now it loads the Enhanced instead.


ok regarding credit: i need to thank everyone here, marco, kirby, dean, stefan, revan, filburt, amy, noppid, brad and many more, a second thanks to stefan and marco who seemed more than willing to help me with so much including stupid questions i should've known, the everybody who's a mod of the php forum who didn't ban me.

ok now to get on with it.

here you go, test and hopefully i'll be able to get a final out sometime soon

this doesn't use the vbulletin user groups as an axis so theirs absolutely no limit on the amount of groups this hack can handle.

Well, any ideas for an ETA?

basically i was thinking about the end of the next week, but in all honesty, it's a big hack. right now it's stable and i'm going to be adding a few additional features, but to release this before i'm even running it commercially myself would be suicide and it'd also mean i'd be unable to provide adequate support. so not to get any hopes up, WITHIN the next six weeks, as i have to complete another hack or two and actually start and finish another hack before i can upgrade my site.

Ok, thx for the fast reply

And it's not that I need this hack right now, I'm happy that you continued working on it.
You said you were going to run it commercially? Do you know yet how much you will charge?

Oh, that's great to hear

But I'll gladly donate some dollars since I was really looking for a hack like this.

I want to create a group manually . I believe all I have to do is create a new user group and make joinable . Isn't that how this hack works ? Can I manually create a group that will be compatible with the hack when it is released ? Thanks

No, you got it all wrong...

See sabret00the's demo site

I'd pitch in some decent cash too... I need this for 3.5.3 desperately, like.. YESTERDAY

But... I also would like to have it operate like Yahoo Groups, with the following functionality:

• The group has its own hidden top level forum, that only group members have access to.
• The group has its own "file share" (could be done with attachments)
• The group has its own link database
• The group has its own photo gallery (i use photopost pro)
• The group creator/owner can specify group "moderators".

If someone wants to take this on, PM or IM me to discuss the nice reward available for making this happen

Yes I would also love to see this for vb 3.5.3 Please pm me if ever released.
