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.

Special Thanks to harry1951, without his help testing and his recommendations, this would've never ended up the way it did.
Honestly, i can't think of anything else, if you appreciate the work gone into this mod, please donate (in GBP) (right click open in new window)
Hopefully you all appreciate that i just relaunched my site and rather than soak up the atmosphere there or go out drinking i came to release this tonight.
Screens below, rest to your right
Please note this mod does work with 3.5.x
PLEASE DO NOT JOIN MY SITE IN A BID TO PLAY WITH IT OR HAVE A LOOK AT IT FURTHER, MY SITE IS SOMETHING I VALUE FOR BEING SOMEWHERE I CAN CHILL AT, IT'S NOT A TEST SUITE OR DEMO!

I don't seem to be able to browse by categories. If I click on one listed on the front page it just takes me to the same page of categories listing but not all of them are there. Then if I click on page two its just blank.
sorry, i don't get you, could you try and re-explain?
Ok, call me a noob if you want - not all at the same time please - but I'm not clear on what this Mod does. Is it that forums attached to secondary user groups are in a place different from the forum home. And what happens to group forums and the posts within them now on the forum home if I install this mod.
Many thanks.
no, this is not attached to usergroups, it's a separate entity.
editgroup.php file doesnt work on groups owner. When i turn it on from usergroups, group owners can work with editgroup.php but everyone else too.
i have no idea what that's all about, especially considering there's a great big conditional at the top of the page which checks based on userid not usergroupid. i'd suggest reuploading all of your files.
[S]hmm I dont have those options. Were they added recently?
I just upgraded from 2.0.0 to the latest version. I did as you said... all the template edits. I overwrote all the php files, and then I imported the xml, overwriting the old one.
Still dont see those menu items though.[/S]
Update: NEVERMIND. Im stupid and didn't scroll down to the BOTTOM of my admincp menu item list. Usually hack options appear at the top :P
Awesume! Thanksss
gah, don't get me started, i can't stand to go into admincp's and see clutter, vBoptions should be at the top, everything else below by default. in fact everyone should install Andreas's mod to separate hacks and default options as standard.
sorry, i don't get you, could you try and re-explain?
On the main groups page. Where it shows all the groups. If you click on a category it take you to a listing of all categories. Doesn't matter what cat you click on it take you to the same place. Even thought the url is changing. browse.php?c=2 and browse.php?c=11 always take you to the same place. Listing of all groups (Browse Groups By Categories). Also some groups don't even show up. On that page. For the page navigation it shows additional pages. 1,2 and 3. Page 2 and 3 are just empty. So some groups are missing from the Browse Groups By Categories listing.

Yup. Thats the first hack in install on a new board.
i have no idea what that says (the picture), however, you're right, i added the pagenav code but forgot to change the query, i'll get 2.0.3 out this week with that fixed, i'm sorry about that.
I've found a couple things. Not sure if it was intentional or what First ..If a User Creates a Group (or is a Group Leader) you obviously have to enable the "Can Moderate Group" option or they can't moderate their own group.
Anyways I found out if you set the Usergroup to "Can Moderate Group". Everyone gets the Moderation option at the bottom that allows you to delete, sticky etc.. threads. To resolve it I did this in groups_display_viewthread
Code:
<if condition="$show['leaderoptions'] OR can_moderate()">
$grps_moderation
</if>
This resolved the issue of all users being able to access it.
Also ... I have set the members to Can Edit Posts. But only administrators have cess to do this. No one else does?
Okay I know this has been addressed numerous times in the thread, but I've not been able to find an answer that resolves my issue with the graphics. Currently none of my graphics are displaying. It seem that GRPS is looking in the www.mysite.com/groups/images folder for graphics. It needs to be looking in www.mysite.com/forums/images instead. How can I tell GRPS where to find the proper images?

setting a usergroup to yes on "can moderate groups" makes them a super moderator for all groups. it have nothing to do with particular or singular options.
